Class #3 Make-Up Assignment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I am to produce an audiobook-like reading of my script, I imagine that the only equipment I will need is a Tascam and possibly some lavalier microphones. While I recognize that it may not be feasible, I would prefer to record the entire reading in person, as I feel that the fluidity of line delivery will be superior to a version where each individual line is spliced together from different recordings. I have never used the \u201cPodcasting Kit\u201d, but if I had the opportunity to record all parts in person, I assume that the process would be similar to that of a podcast. I will make my own trip to the equipment rental office to inspect the functionality of the kit and make a decision. Either way, in terms of the entire process, I will only need a scriptwriting program (likely Arc Studio or Final Draft) to write the story itself, ideally with 4-6 microphones and a Tascam for each character\u2019s lines, and an audio editing software to compile the lines and pair with sound effects\/music<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blog Post #3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While seemingly unrelated to the topic and themes of my script, the Japanese aminated series FLCL <\/em>has heavily influenced each and every one of my creative projects in some way, including this one. Its persistent commitment to showcasing the wonder that can be found in mundane, seemingly insignificant moments through intense stylization and relatable framing is truly remarkable, and while I do not intend to incorporate such jarring degrees of abstraction into my script, even with how interesting FLCL <\/em>is for their inclusion, the special attention that it pays to life\u2019s smaller moments is a practice that I want to carry in my own work. Even as the world of Shangri-La <\/em>crumbles, it is my hope that portraying its characters consistently finding small moments of joy to keep them motivated despite their hardships will comfort viewers and encourage them to remain thankful for their own small luxuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I am already familiar with the city of Philadelphia, I have begun to pay closer attention to potentially interesting locations and unique features of the city with which to build my own, ideally interesting, rendition. I enjoy incorporating a lot of movement in and between each scene, so constructing a sharp image of where each character exists in their space within the city will be crucial. Furthermore, instilling some local pride is an extremely efficient way to generate hype for any project, and this is something that I plan on taking advantage of with real, recognizable iconography in my own model of Philadelphia<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as my committee members, the only pressing question I would like to ask their opinions on is the feasibility of a script read\/audiobook-style production, as I am curious as to whether or not my specific vision for the project moving forward will be sufficient for a master\u2019s-level final product<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
