    Strengths:I consider this a significant challenge for myself, and I believe I performed quite well. I abandoned my previous visual way and instead experimented with a more stream-of-consciousness approach to express everything. In terms of the soundtrack, I think the composition and arrangement were more complete and mature, with well-executed emotional progression and section planning.…

    This video documents the process and some reflections on my field recording session. During this recording, I focused primarily on the noise and irritating sounds around Moorgate. For me, the central question I kept reflecting on while recording was: with so many streets and alleys filled with such overwhelming noise, can we still find a…

    Before starting Foley recording, I added a timecode to the video to ensure better organization of the recording start and end times. This is the process of recording footsteps. Footsteps make up the largest portion of my Foley recording work. I experimented with walking on different types of flooring surfaces, and it was crucial to…

    First, I used an A minor key and chord progression to establish the basic framework. It begins with dreamy, ethereal piano playing broken chords, then shifts to block chords accompanied by another airy synth that carries the melodic line. Instead of following conventional pop music rules for melody, I opted for smoother stepwise motion to…

    This time, I didn’t prepare a script in advance, but started shooting directly guided by intuition. Compared to my previous approach of meticulously arranging scenes and lighting, I decided to keep everything simple. All actions were primarily focused on interacting with the environment. I didn’t want an overly exaggerated or complex narrative and storyline. Instead,…

    I didn’t want to set a specific visual style for myself in the first place, so I decided to start by making some collages. Here are some I created to help develop a clearer direction. Based on these collages, I’ve realized that I want a visual style that is more vibrant, rich in color, and…

    This lesson has given me a lot to think about, especially regarding the theme: What is the role of music for the screen? What made me consider the most was whether music is still necessary if ambient sounds and foley are sufficient to convey emotions. What effect can music truly have on the screen? How…

    The inspiration for this project comes from my personal experience. As someone with poor sleep quality, I often feel that surrounding sounds become amplified when I am tossing and turning. And my mind constantly replays and echoes sounds from the day, such as conversations or other memorable noises. Then it became a question that I…

    This is my first time that I have been in studying coding and doing or producing music, like generative music pieces. My motivation for using coding to make music can be related to my personal experience and ideas about nature and humans. The coding and synthesizers for the acoustic instruments are similar when it comes…
