Forbidden Lie$ Audio

The audial content from this clip summarises the way sound is structured throughout the entire film. The voices of the people being 26155704_interviewed are taken straight from the the videos, although sometimes this audio is dubbed over other footage to emphasise certain moments of the clip. This means that any background noise from within the setting of the interview; such as the traffic that can be heard from the journalist’s office and the nature sounds in the feminist’s garden, is part of the audio soundscape. In creating a richer atmosphere that provides a comic yet critical relief to the serious content of falsifying information, Broinowski also implements audio FX such as coin chimes and cash registers in allusion to “cashing in” despite lying to the audience, as well as the deconstruction of the Hyatt building and the “sand lady” being blown away. It is highly possible that these FX have been sourced from an external resource, due to its simplistic clarity that may be the result of artificial sound control. Other sounds that may have been recorded separately on filmmaker’s trip to Jordan, include the mosque prayer and the temple chimes, which possess a rather muffled quality that one may have from recording in an open environment.

Initial Sound Record Talk

For the first Film & TV 2 tutorial, we were sent off to record clips on campus. Although I started off with a fail -recording of my “ident” as “My name is Arthur Cortez and I am a Media student”, as opposed to what tute I am in- I believe that I did a manageable job of recording a variety of sounds considering that I was on a solo mission.

Upon evaluation, I recognise that my clips could be classified into two associations: Nature vs. City. Although I was recording on campus, inthe heart of Melbourne, I managed to find sounds that created the image of nature to the audience, in the form of a flowing stream (water fountain) and wild life (straining to reach birds on far-off trees). Some of the easier to capture sounds were found around the campus, such as clicking of the pedestrian crossing buttons, the flitting of the escalator, and the jugging of the city tram and its neighbouring traffic.

I think that it would make an interesting juxtaposition to use both images of calm and bustling to create the idea of transformation. To elaborate, the concept of wildlife sounds turning into the clips of the escalator (then birds) and the tram (then some larger animal), as well as the rhythm of water flow into traffic noises, proves to be a starting point for a poetic piece on modernisation and globalisation.
