Our Foley Sounds

After my previous post, we did in fact try to recreate as many as the sounds that we found from the extract of the film 'Priest' that we possibly could. The technological device that we used for this was Matthew's iPhone 6. We recorded as many of the sounds as we could, obviously using the foley technique to naturally recreate them ourselves. After this, we then uploaded all of them to google drive, and from here transferred them into iMovie, where we spent time editing them and adding titles to explain exactly what the sound was meant to represent. The list of sounds we attempted as before is shown below, and the iMovie that we eventually uploaded to vimeo which contains all of the sounds that we foleyed can also be seen below,

Reflection:
Overall, this task was extremely useful for us as a group. The analysis of sound throughout an extract allowed us to understand the importance of it, and the recreation gave us some experience of making foley sounds ourselves. We were all able to talk about our ideas on how to recreate sounds ourselves, and we all gained a full understanding on how precise the records must be, and the importance eliminating and background sound. The fact that we then uploaded them to iMovie and edited it to add titles gave especially me and Heather further experience on using iMovie as we have not studied Media before. Our next steps now are to think about what sounds we will need to include in our production, and split up our tasks for further research into Film Noir's.

Foley Sound

To make us more aware of the use of sounds in films, and to help us realise the large variety of sounds that are needed in our final piece, as a class we watched an extract from a film called 'Priest', which is a fantasy horror film from 2011. At first we watched it with no sound, and listed ideas of the sounds that we expected to hear throughout it. We then watched it with sound, and compared it to the list that we had already made, adding the ones we hadn't noticed or expected. This list can be seen below:

Now, we will attempt to recreate the sounds that we have listed, using the 'foley' technique, which means to naturally create the sounds ourselves, and edit them in a way to make them actually sound like what they are. 

Reflection: 

For our group, this was a useful task and will continue to be as we recreate the sounds. From this, we are learnt about the importance of sound effects in films, and how they are emphasised in different ways to have a different effect on the audience and enhance the production itself. In terms of our final piece, this made it clear to us how important the use of sound is, and made us think about how we are going to incorporate foley sounds into our Film Noir.

Research of Opening Title Sequence

Now that we have looked at different variations of narrative structures as well as knowing our genre, it was time to do some research about Film Noir's. To do this, we each picked a classic Film Noir and analysed the opening title sequence, noting down the conventions. The website I used to do this, is called Art of the Title. Here, I found a large variety of different opening title sequences, and by looking up Film Noir's, I was able to find 'Fallen Angel' from 1945, which is a classic Noir.
The website to Art of the Title with the Fallen Angel opening title sequence can be accessed by clicking the link below:
Fallen Angel Opening Title Sequence

After watching the opening title sequence of the Film Noir 'Fallen Angel', there are some clear conventions that are unique to a Noir.
In terms of camera, and the way each shot is composed, its very basic. Noir's are different in the way that the opening titles last for one or two minutes, and whilst they are being shown very little is happening in and around the scene. For Fallen Angel, it follows exactly this because for the whole duration of the opening sequence the camera doesn't actually move, and instead editing is used to display each title. The camera is placed at the front of what appears to be a bus, which is travelling along a main road. The road signs that it goes past are enhanced and edited in a way that titles are visible on them. An example of this can be seen in the screenshot below:
As you can see here, the shot is composed very simply because the camera doesn't move. The titles are edited onto the road signs, and made easy to read for an audience. This carries out throughout the whole opening title sequence, so in terms of camera, the shot used is very simple, and the editing around it allows us to read the titles on the upcoming road signs.


The sound used throughout the titles of Fallen Angel is very typical Noir style. Just by listening to the soundtrack, it gives us an old classic feel, which we will have to try and recreate to match the soundtrack convention for our production. The music in Noir's is generally composed using saxophones, pianos, and trumpets. This soundtrack is played throughout all of the opening title sequence, and fits well with the titles. The soundtrack also helps to create an atmosphere so early in the film.
Very little can be analysed in terms of mise-en-scene, because there is so little happening in the titles. As mentioned before, the camera is placed still at the front of a bus, so all we can see is the road in front. The whole clip and film is in black and white, which is obviously edited in. Film Noir's are always traditionally in black and white, so we will ensure that our production follows this convention.

Reflection:
We each analysed an opening title sequence of a Film Noir, and all did a blog post on it. This was a big step for us in terms of our research, because we were able to analyse each others posts and talk as a group about the conventions we found, and how we plan to match them. The conventions that I've talked about above, were similar to what Matthew and Heather found. This was good because it showed that we all had a good understanding on how identify the conventions of a Film Noir, as well as knowing exactly what they are. We all learnt from this that splitting the tasks between us is good and can be very useful in terms of research, especially in this case because we got triple the amount of research and three different classic Film Noir's analysed. Our next steps are to look out the ways to recreate sounds, and possibly start further planning with out production and look at locations we could possibly film at.

Analysis of Narrative Structures

Now that we have decided on our genre (Film Noir) and planned a general synopsis of our production, we looked at some narrative structures that current films follow to give us an idea on how we need to adapt our ideas to fit a structure. We discarded most ideas because they simply didn't fit the style of a Film Noir, but managed to narrow it down to two ideas which can be seen below:

The first narrative structure is 'Vladimir Propp', and the whole idea of the structure revolves around the characters. If we were to adapt our narrative to suit this, we would have to create seven different characters to build up the plot. The whole idea of this structure is that every character has an effect on the way the plot pans out, and each of these characters has a role with exactly what they do in the relation to other characters. This structure would work, however we decided that as whole it wouldn't suit our production because we are only filming the opening title sequence, so even if we designed all of these characters we wouldn't actually be able to involve them in the filming process. Another reason why we decided against this type of structure is the fact that it doesn't follow the conventions of a Film Noir. Traditional Noir's start with the end of the film, and usually feature two main characters (the everyman, and the femme fatal), but the 'Vladimir Propp' structure features far too many characters, which simply wouldn't fit the conventions of a Film Noir.

The second narrative structure we looked at fully was the 'Enigma Code'. This structure is usually related to a mystery, and used in relation to genres of thrillers and crime. It is also designed so that the audience become instantly engaged with the film, and attempt to guess the solution of the mystery. Generally, this narrative structure fits a lot of the conventions of a Film Noir, which makes it more suitable for our production. For example, the fact that the structure relates to a mystery fits the conventions of a Film Noir because they are usually about a dramatic event that has happened which we spend the majority of the film trying to figure out. Another part of the structure that relates to the conventions is the fact it is common with genres related to thrillers and crime. These genres are related and feature throughout a Film Noir so this structure relates to it well. As a whole, the 'Enigma Code' is more suited to a Film Noir, so we can relate our ideas to this structure to help us construct the plot.


Reflection:
Analysing these narrative structures was very useful for us, because we were able to get an idea on what structures actual films follow. With these structures in mind, we have been able to relate the 'Enigma Code' to a Film Noir, so we can analyse the structure and possibly compare it to our synopsis to help us have a full understanding on the layout of the plot. From this task, we all learnt how important it is to know the structure of a film, and not just attempt to create a plot for a film without an idea on the direction it has to go. To improve this task we could've analysed more structures to give us an even better understanding, but we decided to discard the rest because they didn't relate to our idea of a Film Noir enough.

Narrative Starting Ideas

Our task for Media is to recreate an opening title sequence of a particular chosen genre. For my final piece, I am working with Matthew and Heather, and we have started to plan a narrative for our production and discussed different ideas for a story. We started by talking about a genre, and landed on the idea of recreating a Film Noir as much as we can. To do this, we will need to have a full understanding of the conventions that a Film Noir has, and attempt to recreate these into our production. Soon, we will allocate roles to each of us to ensure that we have that full understanding of this particular genre of film. Research will have to be done on things such as sound, so that we know what the soundtracks generally are, not to mention the way the dialogue is embedded. We will also need to research typical camera angles used, and the way that these films were edited, and how, not to mention the mise-en-scene, such as costumes and location. Another aspect of research will be the audience of a Film Noir; with an understanding of who these films were generally aimed at, we will have a good idea on the way we need to adapt our production to suit this particular type of audience. As a starting point, we talked as a group about possible ideas for our film and also about how many characters we would plan to have and what the general idea would be. From this, we were then able to write out a general synopsis of the narrative that we want our story to follow. Obviously this is just a starting idea so we will undoubtedly build on this idea and develop it in different ways.

'Micky is staring in the mirror with a gun... Flashback:

He was a successful person, but he had a big secret.

He employs an assistant (femme-fatal) who finds out his secret but agrees to keep quiet by blackmailing Micky.

Leaves him broke.

In his anger he kills her.'

Reflection:

In terms of planning, this was a good starting point for us. We were able to pitch all of our possible ideas across to each other, and adapt each one as a group. This was also good because now that we have picked our genre (Film Noir), and created a general synopsis, we can move on to research and future planning for filming our production.

This task also had some negative aspects, which allowed each of us to learn what we need to do to improve as a group. The discussion we had about out genre and narrative took a long time, and we were quite indecisive at times about deciding exactly what direction we wanted our production to go in. With future discussions, we plan to try and be more decisive about the decisions we make, which will allow us to work faster and develop ideas quicker. If we had landed on a genre and narrative quicker, we could have adapted our piece further and perhaps starting thinking about other things such as a location for our filming, or what equipment we would use. Having said this, the synopsis above is a good starting point, and we are all happy with the ideas we have.

Consequences Task

After me and Jack had analysed the piece of paper containing the information about the story we had to develop, we decided to make a still image showing the characters in the story, the location, the title and the events that occur. The piece of paper with the ideas that we had to follow were very unusual, and it wasn't easy to construct a story that made much sense. Below is our attempt.

As you can see, the image shows the location of Paris, with the title 'Who knows what's really going on?' Our main character is Dino Dave, who had killed 'Wendy and her cat', and shot a man. The 'BANG' is the sound of the gun shot, and the scream from above is the woman screaming in terror.

Consequences Challenge

In class, we were each given a piece of paper and asked to write something on it relating to media. This could be anything from a location to a camera angle, or a character description. These pieces of paper were then passed around the class and each person wrote something different on it which related to media in some way. After everyone had wrote on each piece of paper, we opened what we had to see how we were going to construct the story of what we had. I worked with Jack on this task and the image below shows the piece of paper we had to work with. It contains a title, a character description and other aspects of the story.

Evaluation

After our production, we analysed what went well and what could have been done better.

Cinderella

This is our finalised version of the fairy tale Cinderella, modernised with the film noir genre.

Storyboard - Continuity Task

Once we had appointed each other roles for the production and decided on characters for the narrative, we had to construct a storyboard showing the different scenes that we planned to film. To do this, we first chose different locations around the school that suited each scene in the film. Some locations were not available at school, so we used places outside of school such as our own homes. Once we had taken all of the necessary pictures, we uploaded them to a computer put them in chronological order of our narrative. They were then edited on photo shop to portray the 'noir' style, and finally put together as a finished storyboard.

Continuity Task

Before we jumped into any filming or production, we first had to analyse the task itself and chose an appropriate fairytale that we were all happy with. As you can see, the task itself is below. 

The Fairy Tale:

My group and I discussed different fairly tale's that we could possibly modernise into a film noir type of film, and we came to a decision to use the fairy tale of Cinderella.

Audience:

We decided to modernise Cinderella in certain ways to meet our decided target audience of teenagers. For example, when we planned the plot of the story and what would happen, we chose to change the idea of the 'fairy god mother' making Cinderella feel magical, and instead turn it into a drug that had the same effect. This idea is one of the many ways that we modernised this fairy tale.

Plot:

We then considered what the narrative of our modernised Cinderella would be like, and how things would happen and in what order. Some aspects of the original fairy tale were changed in order to modernise it to meet our desired audience and turn it into a neo-noir.

The plot follows a modern version of Cinderella who lives with her step father and her 'ugly step sister'. She gets invited to a house party instead of the ball and the 'ugly step sister' doesn't want her to go. She tells her father who vows to keep Cinderella in the house so she can't go. Cinderella then sneaks out of the house to take the 'pill' which is the modern version of the effects from the fairy god mother. She then attends the party where she loses her phone instead of her shoe. The prince finds her phone and returns it to her house where the 'ugly step sister' claims it to be hers, but cannot unlock it as she doesn't know the combination. Cinderella then comes through and unlocks the phone proving that it is indeed hers. Upon realising that the prince is falling in love with Cinderella, the step father kills him because he wanted him to marry his actual daughter, the 'ugly step sister'. 

Characters:

Prince- Matty Levesley c
Cinderella- Niamh Gallagher
Step Sister- Heather McDonald
Step Dad- Jack Grimshaw

Extras: as our group is quite small we asked some of our friends to feature as extras in the party and a police officer.

Camera- As there are different scenes requiring different actors we all filmed certain sections. We used a camcorder to record the film and an iPhone 6 for the still photos.

Director- We didn't want one person to take charge so we worked as a team to direct each other.

Editing- Niamh edited the story board into photoshop making the pictures black and white and contrasting the colours to fit the noir style. We all contributed to the editing of the production as a group.

Foley Sound

Definition:
A 'foley' sound is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that have been incorporated into a film or TV programme as well as other forms of media to enhance the overall quality.
An example of 'foley' sound is a door squeaking, or glass breaking. The sounds are all real to make the production seem more realistic.

Sin City

Title: Sin City

Genre: Action/Thriller/Drama

Narrative: The film explores the dark and miserable town of Basin City, and follows the story of three different people all caught up in violent corruption.

Analysing one frame:

The still image above is the one I decided to use from the film 'Sin City'. I chose this one in particular because I feel that I can easily talk about the camera angles and the way it is edited to create effect. In this frozen image, you can see the character dressed in a black suit who is known as the 'salesman'. You can also see the back view of a woman who is wearing a red dress. The camera angle in this shot is a shoulder shot, giving us the view of the woman. This allows us to see her perspective and gives us an indication of how close the 'salesman' is standing to her. This freeze frame is in black and white, as is the whole duration of the movie giving it the 'film noir' type of feel. However, it is edited in a way so that the red dress of the woman stands out and we can still see the colour. This is another technique from a 'film noir' genre to give her the 'glamorous' look as she is the femme fatal in this film. The way that the man is shown in this still image has been edited very specifically; he doesn't completely blend in with the background, however there is a shadow covering half of his face which almost hides him a little bit, or makes him appear to us as being mysterious, or too good to be true. The focus of the shot however is completely on him, so he does stand out to us and our focus is completely on him. Looking at this shot, I think that there is definitely more camera's around this to give us different angles on the scene. I think there will definitely be one to the side of them both so that we can see how close they are standing together, and to almost create a sense of romance considering the woman is the femme fatal. I also think there will be one behind the man to show where they are and what is behind them. Having watched this clip I know that they are standing on a roof top, and the angle behind them shows us the location of the film and how high up they are, not to mention the fact that they are standing close to the edge. This would create a sense of danger.

Media Roles

Media Roles from Coey1611

Neo Noir

Film Noir Examples

Double Indemnity: 







In Double Indemnity, the femme fatal is shown in a very explicit way. She is shown standing at the top of the stairs in her towel as the third picture here shows, this was very different for the time this film was made and some audiences will have been very shocked by this. Also, the way she is standing makes her look superior as well as being 'flirty' and half naked.
The top picture is the end of the film but is shown at the start because of how the narrative in film noir's are laid out, it shows the everyman broken and injured and talking into the phone about what has happened.

Film Noir Examples

The Black Dahlia:







This film is more of a modern noir and it is edited differently. Instead of being in black and white it is shown in colour but with a filter to fade it out a little and make it seem more classic. The first picture here shows the femme fatal smoking and looking heavily made up just as she is in the older film noir's. The second picture
shows the characters wearing suits just as they would've done in the classic noirs, the air appears to be filled with smoke to emphasise the idea of smoking.

Film Noir Examples

 The Killers:








The top picture here shows the femme fatal in The Killers, laying seductively on the bed; this gives her the idea of being flirtatious and trying to show off her body. The second picture here is an example of the lighting effects in film noir's; as you can see the room is very dark and the shadows reflect the dull gloomy atmosphere. The final picture is an example of the narrative structure again, it shows the end of the film at the start with the two men arriving and holding people hostage to look for the 'Swede'.

Film Noir Features

Camera and composition:

In film noir's, different camera angles are used in different ways to create effect and atmosphere. Low camera angles are used regularly to give characters the idea of being powerful. The picture here shows the femme fatal in 'Double Indemnity' standing at the top of the stairs. The camera angle is low and looks up at her giving her the idea of being powerful as I've previosuly mentioned. The everyman in this film looks up at her which gives the impression that he is below her and must obey what she says. In this case it turns out to be true as the everyman is used and betrayed by the femme fatal.

Editing:
Film noir's are edited in specific ways to make us feel uneasy when watching them. The ones made in the 20th century are nearly always shown in black and white but some made recently in the 21st century are shown in colour but are still distorted in some way. For example, 'The Black Dalia' is shown in colour but it isn't as clear as it could be. It is edited in this way to give it the sense of mystery and make us believe that it is set years and years go. On the other hand, 'Double Indemnity' and 'The Killers' are both in black and white. The main reason for this is because they were made in the 1940s but having them in black and white creates the same sense of mystery that the distorted colour in 'The Black Dalia' does. Also, in the 1940s technology wasn't as advanced as it is now so there wasn't exactly much editing done.

Sound:
In film noir's the sound that is normally used is produced from musical instruments rather than actual computer generated sounds. This is because obviously when the films were originally made in the 1940s they didn't posses the technology to create sound so instead they edited the sound of instruments into the background. The general instruments that were used in the backgrounds were saxophones, certain types of pianos, and trumpets. These were all played in a specific way to give a sense of mystery in the opening and climatic scenes.

Film Noir Features

Mise-En-Scene:
The lighting in film noir's is generally low key and the use of fill lights is usually restricted giving it a dark sense, when lighting is used it creates shadows to further emphasise the dark atmosphere. When it comes to location, noir's are nearly always filmed in urban cities and directors use rain to make the films seem more dull and dark.
These pictures show a typical noir film, the picture on the left shows an everyman watching the rain giving him the idea of being 'broken', whilst the second picture shows the urban location they were generally filmed in.

Film Noir Genre

A film noir is a term used to describe a hollywood crime drama. The older film noir's were always shown in black and white to create a more dark and sinister atmosphere and because of the cost of colour productions back in the 1940s. However, in newer film noir's made in the last 20 years, colour is more common in these films. The films were produced mainly after the second world war and aimed to send a message to families about how life should be. The violence that was included in the films was something that very little people were used to seeing but after the war so many people were used to the idea of violence because of the events of the war film noir's didn't shock them that much.

The films usually consist with a similar plot and tend to include the same characters in each film just with a different story.
The characters usually are:
- The everyman
- The femme fatal
- The villain
- The henchman/henchmen
- The girl next door
The everyman is always the main character and the films usually begin with the end of the actual film with him hurt or broken in some way. From here we learn his story and discover the events that has resulted in him hurt in this way.
The femme fatal is normally at the center of the everyman's pain. In the majority of film noir's she lures the main character using her seductive techniques. After pretending to care about him she betrays him at the end or he realises she was using him all along.
The villian is sometimes connected in some way to the femme fatal and is generally the enemy of the everyman. In a typical film noir the villain will be in a relationship with the femme fatal and the everyman will have an affair with her resulting in the villain taking action and often using his henchmen to afflict pain on him.
As mentioned before, the henchmen take orders from the villain to attack or kill the everyman, however in some film noir's this isn't always the case and sometimes they aren't included in the production at all.
The girl next door is a rare and irrelevant character who doesn't have a consistency in appearing in film noir's. When she does, she usually ends up comforting the everyman after his betrayal or ends up hurt and broken with him.

What is a Sweded Film?

What is a Sweded Film and where did they come from?

The idea of a Sweded Film is to recreate famous films using limited resources and technology. This idea was first inspired in 2008 by the comedy film ‘Be Kind Rewind’. Generally these films are much shorter in length than their originals and are filmed on virtually no budget.

As mentioned before, the actual term ‘Sweded’ was founded from the 2008 comedy film ‘Be Kind Rewind’. The plot of this film involves two characters attempting to replace a store’s video collection by recreating films using a camcorder and claiming they are special editions from Sweden. This is where the name ‘Sweded’ came from.

Before the actual film came out, a YouTube channel was created to help promote the film. The channel contained a film that the actors had Sweded and a video called ‘How To Swede’. Obviously the production of low budget films had existed for years before this film arrived but the term originated from the 2008 film ‘Be Kind Rewind’.

Sweded Films became more popular following the film in 2008 and thousands of people now create a variety of videos recreating films and trailers. When making and recording a Sweded Film, people spend little to no money. Props and outfits are made by hand and location is very simple. Our Sweded trailer is a prime example of recording with no budget.

Location, Camera and Editing

As Jack had all of the props needed available at his house and he had areas perfect to film from such as a table outside, we decided that we should film at his house.

We decided to use Jack’s iPhone 6 to film on as it has a great camera quality and he will always be there as it is being filmed in his house. Every single one of us had a turn filming parts of the swede and it was whoever was not needed in the scene being filmed.

To edit the swede we used a free app on the App Store called iMovie, this meant we could easily rearrange the clips in order, remove audio from some clips and add voice-overs all on one iPhone.

Below is an example of the layout of iMovie. At the bottom there is a camera button to add videos, a microphone to record sound and a settings button to edit a clip. In this scene we muted the video, added a voice-over then recorded Matthew playing the piano to add some audio similar to the official film.

Props

In the trailer of The Babadook, there are only a few props needed, mostly the props were items of clothing to make us look more like the characters we portrayed. To make Josh look more like the mother he needed to look more like a woman, to do this we used a wig the Jack has.

In the start of our sweded film we needed a book that could be used as the babadook, inside the book we included drawings on plain paper that were drawn by Niamh.

Dressing gowns and hoodies were worn over the top of our original clothes in some scenes when we were filming the scenes with the boy, Sam, and the mother. Matthew and Jack both had to wear a smart white shirt and tie when portraying the characters of the headteacher and the doctor.

In one scene there is wood being sawn and hammered, this was simple as in Jack’s shed he had planks of wood, a saw and a hammer. Also, there was a crossbow used; luckily Jack’s brother had a toy crossbow which we borrowed for the scene.

Multiple scenes were filmed inside a car so, with no keys in the engine, we borrowed Jack’s car to film a few scenes with the mother and son.

The three pictures below show some different props that were used during the sweded trailer. For example, you can see Josh and Jack playing the Mother and Sam in the car we used. You can also see the wig that was used by Josh to make his character look more like the Mother, and the crossbow Jack used when acting as Sam.
