NANOOK OF THE NORTH 1922

The filmmaker did two things that was controversial. He connected with these people by teaming up with these unfamiliar people. At the team it was risky considering how racism was very much alive.  It also showed them killing animals which might be sensitive to some people but it showed it honestly. I think it was still authentic because he was still there. It was very in the moment even though it was staged.

WHAT ARE DOCUMENTARY FILMS?

A documentary film is a movie that captures real life things. It has a question at the end. A narrative film tends to block of the environment and bring in the movie world. A documentary is bringing in the most out of the environment. They are interesting because they could capture real life things and make stuff very relevant and have us ask questions.

SOUND SUMMARY

I learned a lot about sound. I learned the difference between analog and digital recording. I also learned the benefits of dual and single system. I learned a bit what to do and not to do. I want to learn more about just recording. I want to apply myself to more audio. I think more experience would help me learn more.

SFX FILM UPDATE

I recently finished my sound effect and I learned a couple of interesting things. I found that this project was interesting because it was something that I had idea doing and it was the first project that what I learned in class I applied to. I learned a couple things about this project. One is that you should never say its good enough. There is always a new layer or color you can add that will enhance the project. I also learn to listen as closely as you can and never add for the sake of adding. The vision you had for the project should be consistent. I would like to learn more of audition because I didn't have a chance to use it.

EXTERNAL AUDIO SETTING

There are three separate things you should do when doing audio settings. You should always use phantom power when using mics. You should always make sure you use line level if your not recording and a mic. And don't use internal audio for the most part. I always say this about audio but i want to learn everything more because audio is very difficult for me.

CAMERA AUDIO MENUES

The lowcut audio, number of channels and mic sensitivity is the three important things you should set up with audio. They are important for audio because it takes many aspects to make a good audio. I would like to learn about everything because I'm not well known about that aspect of filming.

AUSTRALIA LOCATION SOUND TEAM

I learned that they had to work with the environment. They also did a lot of foley. The 5 important element for sound is dialogue, foley, sound effects, score, and backgrounds. I would like to learn about all of these things because I need more knowledge.
