The Hunt For the Campus Cat ?!

Our documentary consists of a noir style genre/humour approach and my role in the team is to come up and creates music that fits the style of the documentary so as sound designer i have to create a whole other world for my group to work with and use it to give the documentary a solid foundation and an identity and create space for thought and emotion to manifest itself while maintaing enough space for the audience to have there own feelings towards the documentary i feel like my role is important so while it is good to have a strong musical foundation with background music to feel space i believe in my ability to create original music and sounds to add to the noir aspect of the film having a documentary with a noir twist allows me to be creative with the sounds and instruments used in the documentary

Above is the film sin city 2 and the sounds a style of this film is what i would refer to as a great film for noir mystery and a detective story line even though our group isn't going for a storyline as hard as this i think the way the directors sound producers and DOP was able blend all the different elements together is pretty cool to me

Hans Zimmer is my personal favourite in terms of composing music and his audio and mental imagination and genuis is what inspires me and makes me love sound even more his work pushes me and drives me and is why i chose to be the sound editor for our group in a field that i love a genre that i am constantly learning about and still find myself being able to more than i though within the genre of sound design

The hunt for the campus cat is based around a common known cat that roams around campus and goes by a lot of names and if rumoured to be owned by and elderly person some students even want to claim the cat for themselves and the our team felt as though the relationship between humans and pets would be an important part of the documentary because we can balance out how people feel about him and pets in general even if they are objective and don't like cats its nice to express that and show this relationship can be documented we wanted explore we also felt like we wanted a noir aspect to the decade scenes we came up with and had interviews filmed and our plan was to change the colour of the scenes and make them a particular tone and highlights to being a noir feel to the documentary





dr dre is an inspiration to me from the stand point of music sound and the way he reinvents himself as an artist and how he makes all his productions as a producer stand out and is another one of my sonically advanced examples within the sound and music culture

this is the end result of all our hard work i know i could of done more to help elevate the sound and completely stamp myself in the team but i believe with time i will be a better team orientated person
