Part 1 of Project 3 Released, due on December 2, 2015
Weekly Assignment due on November 18, 2016 | To be critiqued on Angel:
Develop a 15 to 30 second experimental video on any subject of your choice.
Technical parameters:
- at least one close-up, one mid-shot, and a wide-shot.
- Implement sound that questions the video footage. For example, if the footage is of a happy moment, then the sound should be sad, or violent, or ambiguous enough that the viewer will question the idea of happiness, or not think of happiness at all.
- Implement text that complicates the relationship of the image and sound. You should consider the typeface carefully; choose one that connotes something specific (violence, elegance, ephemerality, leisure, etc). You can use text as much as needed. The text must be treated as a visual element, not as something to read. It must become one with the image and the sound.
You should consider your lighting and sound mix, and should use them to also convey meaning. Upload all files to Box and provide proper access with a link via Angel.

(See activities for Monday, September 14 for the beginning of this assignment)
Record sounds inside and around The Zoller Gallery and the various buildings of the visual arts, then evaluate how you can mix the sound to develop an abstract composition that may represent the activity of art of your choice, for instance:
How would you represent painting?
How would you represent sculpture?
How would you represent ceramics?
How would you represent new media?
How would you represent art education?
You should consider manipulating the sound to develop rhythmic loops, and to also create some type of melody if this fits your vision. The piece should be at least 15 seconds and no longer than 2 minutes.
Monday, September 14, 2015
Lab day: Come to class with a microphone of your choice (uni or omni directional mic, if you already have an idea of what you will do) We will go to Zoller Gallery to look at the material available there for possible use in the project | We will then go back to class and you can work on weekly assignment due on Wednesday, September 16.

Choose one of two of the ambient sounds you recorded from your immediate environment (first weekly assignment) and combine it/them with at least three selected samples from your music composition (second weekly assignment). If you think you can develop better ambient sounds than those you used for your first assignment, feel free to record from your environment again.
You should consider changing the tempo of the piece. You should also experiment by putting each sample or recording through different filters and apply sound effects to each track in order to enhance your composition. Try to develop a composition that matches a mood of your choice. Your final recording should be at least 30 seconds and no longer than 2 minutes.

Weekly Assignment due on Monday, September 9, 2015:
Develop a simple music composition based on pre-recorded loops, available with the software of your choice.

Your composition must not be longer than 2 minutes.
It must have at least three different types of drums (percussive instruments)

Lecture on music as an art form | Overview of sound editing for weekly assignment | Begin discussion of Benjamin's "The Work of Art..." | Read: "Culture and Remix" by Eduardo Navas, The Routledge Companion to Remix Studies, pp. 116 - 132.
Weekly Assignment due on September 2:
Record three separate sounds from your immediate environment. You can use your phone, or any other device to do this. Then edit the sounds in any software you already use to have some type of rhythm that defies a coherent pattern. Note that the requirement of this assignment is a contradiction (rhythm/ pattern/ defiance) which you need to consider in order to develop a sound piece that questions how we record and expect to hear sound.
