Teacher feedback pitch-China -> Music/Sound design

# data[].attributes.body
I particularly appreciated your ideas on low and high pitches, as well as your mention of using the traditional instrument, the guzheng. The incorporation of the ostinato concept could add a captivating layer to your piece. Although the score image you presented doesn't yet convey enough color and pattern, I understand this is just a sample.

As a next step, I encourage you to collect and explore low and high pitches with different instruments by playing with major and minor tonalities. Remember to apply the three fundamental elements of music—rhythm, melody, and harmony. Additionally, consider utilizing Western chord progressions alongside the pentatonic Chinese scale to further enrich your musical palette.

Experimenting with sound effects and exploring Chinese loops in GarageBand could also enhance the depth of your project.

Thank you,

Ms. Metta

(0:03) Okay, these are my thoughts. We only have like one minute each to give you feedback. (0:08) I love the idea of it starting out as a painting.I think that's really cool. (0:12) Like if it was like animated, you may be even doing live painting, Molly, of landscapes or clouds (0:20) or something that relates to traditional China and it's being filmed and then that turns into live film with actors. (0:28) I also think it could be really cool if you started in the Ming Dynasty somehow as reference to tradition (0:36) but by the end of it, it's 2025 and you're still focusing on themes of duty and desire.(0:43) What does that look like as a person living in China or living around the world (0:48) with those kind of morals or restrictions in their life? (0:53) Costume and makeup, it's not really enough work to be honest for like 18 lessons. (1:01) You could design a few pieces but beyond that, there's not enough work there. (1:06) You would need to do more of the painting or the cinematography or helping out with the set in some way.(1:13) Remember, there's very little vocal. So we're watching a film for four to six minutes with no narrative. (1:19) You've got to make this visually exciting.To do that, have animation or have really beautiful dance movement. (1:29) Think of yourself in a cinema watching something with no dialogue. It's got to be visually exciting.(1:34) So that would be my feedback. The sound to me sounds beautiful. I don't really get it.(1:40) It sounds convincing and I really loved how you described the movement. (1:43) I thought it sounded stunning. But to make this a little bit more provocative or to make this a little bit more interesting, (1:51) just an idea.Could you then have moments where it is today or sort of modern generation? (1:57) See what your drama teacher thinks about this. But the Ming Dynasty thing, I have seen many times before in an IDU, (2:05) not going to lie, and often it becomes kind of a little bit kitsch because you can never get the set right. (2:15) You can never get the costume exactly right.So just sort of play with animation and painting as much as you can. (2:23) I was also thinking, could you set something inside a Chinese restaurant? (2:27) Something that already exists in Cambodia where you don't have to spend weeks making props. (2:31) They already have Chinese style chairs and so forth.So use something that's already existing. (2:38) Sorry, Meta. What were you going to say? (2:40) Thank you.This to me is really, wow, interesting. I would say mostly for music. (2:50) You mentioned about the osinato bass.I think you will going to use a lot of colors. (2:57) And then how to interpret and translate those movements. You mentioned circular patterns and with the sound.(3:05) You can use the sound. And also it will be great if you mentioned to have a live recording or something. (3:16) So for this film, I believe that you're going to work a lot after post-production.(3:24) It can be a lot of work. Not a lot of work, yeah. (3:29) A lot of editing.(3:30) Yeah, editing, something like that. So make sure that the garage band or the sound effect, yeah. (3:38) It will be very cool.If you mentioned you want to use live, maybe it's also possible. (3:44) Because then it's easy for you to record from music. (3:49) It could also be moments where you live and then you think about this person's desires as though it's drawings.(3:58) It could be a whole range of animated drawings that we hung or Dieter could also get involved in. (4:03) And it's what they really want out of life, but they're so oppressed and not able to do what they're wanting to do. (4:09) So you could go between reality and fantasy almost.Just an idea. (4:14) Okay team, hopefully that gives you some food for thought.

I began researching camera angles and editing techniques by reading articles and watching tutorials on YouTube. I plan on editing a short video with clips taken by me and some from Retake to test my knowledge of editing and filming. As for choreography, I have not begun researching it yet, but am planning to soon.

Today, I mainly focused on adding more to the storyboard and discussing with Dita on what else could possibly be implemented and what needs to be changed. I will redirect time from other things and experiments such as editing and filming to complete the storyboard before I truly begin experimenting, since filming would need a concrete storyboard for planning different camera angles and other aspects such as camera angle, etc. At this point, we manage to plan about 4 acts. I also added some choreography ideas I have for the film into the storyboard, and possible ways we can use to add elements of Chinese into the film.

This was my original idea for the first part, however, I decided to restart it because it didn't have a flow or show the mouse as a character. Another reason was that it was small, and you didn't see the characters (mouse and snake) well.

This film shares the same idea as ours: it is the story of an abusive relationship that started off happily before slowly devolving into something worse. The main difference is that they could speak whereas we can't. I'm using this film for ideas when it comes to filming for our video.

This is the base and a short layout of what the animation will look like. The speed is 5 f/s. I will now start draft 3 with more flowy movement and Chinese art style.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I started using the a more Chinese style for animation. After this, I will continue to add more scenes of the mouse and the snake, as this part is only how they meet. My steps forward is to finish the base animation then go over it with color then background.

How did you develop your practical skills for this project?

I was able to develop my practical skills by looking at different Chinese art styles, like watercolor and an ink-based style. I would look at the way they use the brush and how much pressure they put at the end or the beginning of the line. After I would try to do this skill myself, which is shown in my research document in tab 2. In this film, I get a small acting role. So In a similar way, I did this in the short practice film on the 04/05/25. I would watch the movement, then try to copy it as my way of learning. Doing this, I was able to understand the flow with the sleeves much better, as well as the pace.

How did you use your new knowledge and skills to contribute to this project?

I was able to use my knowledge of animation to slowly create the beginning of the film. Since the film is split into a few parts, my animation will be at the start, which tells the story of how the two lovers met before it got abusive. By learning more the the chinese artstyle, I was able to make my work look more connected with my group while still showing that it’s my work. In drafts 1 and 2, is where I was planning where the characters would go, but in draft 3.1, I started using the Chinese art style.

How did collaboration help create new ideas?

Collaboration was able to help create many ideas. This is most shown when 5 of us got together at my house to practice some moves for the timelapse scene. We were able to come up with a draft idea of the choreography and practice it. Even with a few of us working together, we were able to brainstorm many ideas, which led to the thought draft of this one scene. We were also able to discuss how many actors would be needed, and the same with colors.

Today, my role changed from filming to just lighting, editing, and a little bit of choreography. This impacted me quite substantially, as I mainly put most of my time into researching and filming for each different act and what camera angle and editing technique would fit them, but due to the change, I would have to restart from the beginning with lighting, as our performance slowly went from film to mainly live. I would have to put in overtime to analyse our performance and timing to see what lighting would fit perfectly. It's a slight inconvenience, but I'll make do with what I have.
