Inspiration

Mark Beaumont Orange TV Advert

  The audio of this video is something that has inspired us with our piece. This being through the way that Beaumont speaks of an action/subject, as we hear it in the background. For example, as he says "i'm my sisters", we hear the sound of children laughing in the background. This is the kind of atmosphere and sense of space that we would like to create for our audio project.

127 Hours

Another example that has inspired us, is the scene within 127 Hours, in which Aron (Played by James Franco) drinks his own urine. The sounds we hear as it looks as though the camera is entering the tubes he drinks from, is something that we would like to acknowledge when recording some sections. For instance, we plan to use a Hydrophone to record the sounds of hands going into a basin of water as someone washes their face.


When discussing the concept of journal entries for our piece, Emma thought of Glee and Sue Sylvester's diary that is read throughout extracts of each episode. Here is a section of the script to portray an example of what we read to gain ideas:

We liked the aspect of humour within this script as well as the punctual sentences. We plan to write the entries in past tense and narrate it in a natural and fluent style.
