SOUND
Learning Outcome 2
Client Brief:
It is important to stick to the brief of a client since it is a source of information that the contractor has assigned to you and must trust and respect that until the end of the product. It is a showcase of the project requirements, providing an overall breakdown of the ideas to the client and helping the project come into production and into further steps.
Own Brief:
What is my interactive sound product?
For my interactive sound product, I will be using a flash player that will combine three sound elements. It is going to be primarily commentating a cartoon of two people with two different voices of a football matches. For example, I will use my standard, normal voice for one of the people commentating and a more aggressive, deeper, more exciting voice for the other person commentating, as if there is two people commentating.
What is the purpose of my interactive sound product?
For entertainment and humorous purposes as whilst not everyone is going to find the voices funny, interesting or so forth but I feel it’s an interesting and entertaining way to give a different spin of commentating. I find commentating by two people, discussing things back and forth is more entertaining but being that it’s more of a solo project and I want to keep it that way, I want to do both of the voices.
Description of my video:
The video is either going to be one of a standard football match between three world famous teams such as Arsenal and Barcelona or from the clay-motion cartoon titled “Celebrity Deathmatch” whereby two celebrities fight to the death in an area style play with two wacky commentators provided with the action or having something a little stereotypical such as car advert but something interesting and entertaining with several locations and effective transitions.
The Three Interactive Sounds to be chosen:
-Music Component
-Sound Effects Component
-Commentary
Why I will create these sounds:
I will create these sounds because I feel commentating as two people add an interesting twist on the subject. Doing the cartoon would mean providing some more harder music you would find in hard rock or metal bands which is more to my style and the sound effects could be pretty fun to do but doing a football match can be a little more laid back and give a professional feel.
How I will create these sounds:
I will create the commentary by writing out a script for the two characters of either the football match or the cartoon once I’ve decided and try out various microphones in order to get the right type of audio quality I want as the commentary would be the primary source of sound. As for the music and sound effects, I use programs CuBase and Reason to create convincing and professionally sounds that go well with the themes of the video whether it be more relaxing with the football match or much more of a rush with the celebrity death match cartoon.
-Celebrity Deathmatch, a two way commentary where I import two commentary audio files with two different voices and feature a backing music track that I feel is fitting for the action of what is on screen with the clay models based on celebrities fighting.
-Car Advert, a simple car advert but something that is quite stylish, effective and provides something a bit new to the table instead of flashy effects such as a good use of transitioning between scenes and allowing the chance of music changes and strong sound effect use
-Football Match, similarly with the celebrity deathmatch idea where I have a two way commentary, providing two commentary tracks by myself but become more about the commentary and the sound effects of the players giving call outs to be passed to rather than the music but that is certainly an option.
Legal Issues:
Copyright
Copyright is something very common in law. It helps producers put in place what is there in an industry and in this case with music copyright, it is very big business considering the invasion of illegal downloads. Music Copyright usually consists of a copyright law lasting for as long as 70 years outlawing the use of someone creative work unless the person using it has permission from the original producer.
Ethical
Ethical consideration can be made just like in any multimedia business. With music it could mean not using music, sound effects, speech and general music that can offend people as there are certain implications. Ethical consideration is something that has to be in place if you’re appealing to a worldwide audience.
Asset Specification
Asset Specification can provide an issue. It is important that in the world of legal issues that when you are asking for certain assets or using assets to make sure you have the opportunity to not just ask for permission but use them in a manner that respects the original producer/artist.
Summary
It must also be said that when thinking about legal issues that considering in my case when I’m producing all of my own content that the only issues I would come across is that of the permission of the video itself but usually it is for an educational basis it is fine so long as it is not offence to some people, especially minors.
