Visual Blueprint – Blog Post 4

This week’s studio focuses on sound design. Examples from success show productions that I have personally in fact seen, such as Silo and The Last of Us, demonstrate the strategies and methodologies utilised to create hauntingly beautiful compositions that deeply resonate with audiences. As how audio is a very crucial part that can easily make or break a film based on the quality of the sound recorded, the sound effects mix, and the quality control in the editing, in my opinion. I am fascinated by the idea that sounds in a film are important because they may create ambience, elicit emotions, influence the plot, and paint a picture for the audience. This has been something I’ve been focusing on and nearly obsessing over in recent work, with the ultimate goal of enhancing my filmmaking abilities. Furthermore, if not already, I plan to continue improving my audio design skills for any previous or future work. I recently saw a piece of media in which the creators emphasise and show his editing timeline with a catchphrase that resonated with me: “The more mature in filmmaking you are, the more of your timeline would look like this,” which he’s indicated in his premiere timeline where there are numerous different audio tracks as opposed to the video tracks where there are only a couple of adjustment layers. And I can see my timeline is gradually improving similar in this way.
