DJ Tutorial on making a mix

Music emotion

Several characteristics have been suggested that might influence the emotion of music. For example, according to one study (11)(12), major keys and rapid tempos cause happiness, whereas minor keys and slow tempos cause sadness, and rapid tempos together with dissonance cause fear. There is also a theory that dissonance sounds unpleasant to listeners across all cultures. Dissonance is to a certain degree culture-dependent, but also appears to be partly intrinsic to the music. Studies have shown that infants as young as 4 months old show negative reactions to dissonance. (3)(6)(9)

Mindstorm of interview question

Reference of Documentary film

“Most documentaries that work well do so because they touch a chord with the audience. “

'It is important that while you are shooting the documentary, you shoot at least three times the footage you actually need. At the post production stage you do not want to run out of footage. Also pay attention to the video and sound quality. If you do not have a good camera, hire one. This may also turn out cheaper. While shooting the film, stick to basic shots. Avoid to many zooms and pans as it only makes the film look more amateur.”

Topic

“The topic should be such that the viewers are able to connect with it.”
Reserch

“Consult a lot of books on the subject. If there have been documentaries made before on the same topic, watch them. Interview people, who you think have knowledge on your chosen topic. Explore, research and learn, before you start filmmaking.”

“They don’t seem to understand that documentary filmmaking is exactly like dramatic filmmaking. They need a story with some form of narrative or journey. They should have interesting characters, turning points, shifts in tone and pace, humour alongside darkness, a climax. They need to combine these elements with appropriate music, graphics, and imagery in a consistent and considered way. Above anything else, they need to understand there is a difference between an idea and a story, a story and a film. “

“Documentary filmmaking is more than simply coming up with a good “topic”, pointing the camera and hoping something interesting will happen. It is not a series of interviews with some “wallpaper” shots. Like all art forms, documentary is also a craft that must be tenaciously pursued and honed.”

“This motivating factor must be something beyond travelling the world, or a deeply misguided notion of glamour.”

Interview question

Reflective statement of Aural Terrain

Our further development was to stream live video from the other room, with 3 separate cameras capture chest, throat and joint respectively in another room. The mean time, live signal was being sent to projector as 3 sub-screens. For a purpose of manipulating our sound visible by showing parts of the body where produce the sound rather than hide behind the white screen. One of the camera would be moving around to detect other parts of body may produce sound, as well as capture live video with a ridiculous angel that telling people where about was the sound coming from, the other 2 will keep still to filming particular parts of the body. For some reason, any more that 3 sounds would be cancel out each other, Or I can say such a messy and crack sound, which avoiding our initial intent of creating organic sound.

Conceptual statement of cinematic fluenea

The rail slider was inspired by skateboard as well as street culture. It was such an excitement of watching skateboarder to grind on the handrail. Our device aimed to make the audiences feel the passion of speeding on the handrails.
The concept of the device was turning single piece of handrail into a wonderful journey of the city where the routine and angel that people won’t walk on it. The front wheels and the back wheels were designed for fit in both square and round tracks as well as different widths or shapes of either handrail or edges of concrete by disassembling/assembling one of the side wheel.
