Year 8 Rotation 3 Week 5

This Week...

This week, we had came back from Spring break, which means that we will not have a lot of time until our performance. We had aimed to create at least one piece of music this week, which we had achieved to do so. We have everything noted down, so that it will be easy for us to finish the piece. Our goal this week was to create one piece of music and finish off the script

In this lesson, we had a short recap on the piece of music that we had created last term. We had thought of recording our piece, however the room was too noisy and we did not know how long we should play each instrument for, since the script was not yet fully done. Then we had started to finishing off the script so that it will be easy for us to also create and record the piece. At the same time, this way, we could calculate on how many seconds we will need to record for, since the length of the audio depends on the length of the story. We will add the final touch in the next lesson so that we can perfect it by spending more time on it.

In today's lesson, I used the link that I had searched up during the spring break. It was the video on YouTube which was the tutorial for creating Halloween based music. At the beginning of this lesson, we took some time to change and add details to the script which I had planned to get it finished by today. Then us, as the music group was successful in creating the piece, practicing it, and also deciding which sound effect on the key board we should use. This piece is meant to be used for the music before the jump scare occurs so that I can frighten the audiences even more. Although we figured these things out, we have to find the audio which is used to SCARE the audiences whether it could be a scream, bang noise, big sound, and many more. I am happy that I was able to stick with the action plan at least for this week.

Next Week...

Next week, we will have to create more piece of music and possibly explore more types of instruments that we could use. I am aiming to create 1 piece of music at least so that we can stick to our action plan. At the same time, I may have to help out the art group since they seem to be having trouble creating. We can take more time on the creation in stead of filming as Raushan (who is member of our group) made stop motion video before and she has the app to put everything together. I am thinking that this will be a very helpful tool when we are creating the movie or the video. We may have to plan out an after school creation since we are not sticking to the plan at the moment especially regarding the script.
