Theme Play & Sound

Context

About the sound, the first idea that came to my mind is ASMR. I experience ASMR every night when I sleep. My favorite ASMR are food making or eating. The sound of chroping is my favorite. While I was thinking about this idea, I heard from one of my friends who is doing soundspaces studies and told me that their assessment is to produce a soundtrack to tell a story. So for this time, I want to create my only food story about the sound I love from food and make it become a meal preparation soundstory.

Method

Bread, Cola, bottle, plates, ice, egg, knife,Phone

• For the photo of stop motion, I set the ipad on the table in one spot so that the photo that has been taken is always at the same spot. For every food that is set on the position, all I need to do is click the photo button to take the photo.

• For audio, I use my phone to record the sound. When I do each step to make the sound of food, I will give each part a quiet second which helps a lot when making the post effect.

Response       

I shoot four photos as the key frame to make a stop motion for the visual part. The stop motion assists the video, making sure the audience knows what is happening in the sound. For the audio, I think about what is the most unique feature of this food, or what kind of sound can present the feature of this kind of food, such as the cola, I record the ice sound because this is a common combination in the advertisement of cola. 

Always the sound comes first and the picture change at the end of the part aims to let the audience focus on the sound of food, which is like guessing what food it is.

Reflection

I had recorded a lot of sound, the record was 10 minutes. But later when I imported the soundtrack to the After Effect, I found that some of the sounds sounded like noise or the sound is not unique for practical food. Only 20% of the sound can be used in this meal preparation story.
