Soundscape - Sentimental Colloquy Animatic

For my animatic I tried to keep in with a more paintily feel, as my key frame was Sentimental Colloquy by Salvador Dali and the whole story is to do with dream meanings, which is expressionistic and free-flowing. Also I editing and mixed tracks together with Garageband for the background music, it is here where I used my 3 pre-recorded sounds. I am disappointed with some lack of fluidity of transitions between my music pieces, but with just 3 pre recorded sounds, I did what I could, as I've never used Garageband before.

Soundscape - Post Produced SFX

When creating my animatic I felt as though I didn't need a lot of sound effects, so I have only got those that I believe I need. When post producing my SFX being as my animatic takes a turn for the more sinister for my heavily edited SF I tried to create this draining, and creepy effect.

Just a note, I am not sure how the colours will turn out on the uni comps, as my laptop screen is naturally lighter, so it may be on the dark side, I am not sure.

These are my original sound effects, I did have more but I cut them down to about 20 after a lot of them seemed very similar or I just couldn't see being needed. 

Soundscape - Rough Storyboard Response

When researching my key frame image, all I understood was that it was a painting about how marriage weighs you down. Though I didn't understand the piano or bikes, through further research, looking into dreams I found that a piano is representative of a woman, and this piano has a crack in it, which could be interpretated as a marriage breaking apart. I also found out that the bikes in dreams, represent freedom, which makes sense as these ghoul characters are trying to  go around with their freedom, only to have a rock weigh them down.

My story is about a man who is about to get married and realises he is about to lose his freedom and starts turn into these ghouls and so do his friends at the wedding, while his fiancee/wife transforms into the piano, as she is the feminine symbol of the breakage of marriage.

Storytelling & Commission: Soundscape Keyframe - Sentimental Colloquy

For the soundscape project I received folder number 14, which included a painting called "Sentimental Colloquy" by Surrealist Artist, Salvador Dali. In all honesty I have tried to figure out what the meaning behind this painting is and throughout searching online, looking for its interpretation and meaning I didn't find all that much in terms of leads, apart from the possibility it possesses a marital theme.

This interpretation does make sense, in the fact that the what appears to be dead-like persons riding on the bikes around this piano fountain with what seems to be veils from their head, what is even more interesting is that they have rocks placed on their heads, perhaps symbolising the idea of marriage weighing them down to death, which I think is an interesting if not depressing interpretation of the painting.
