Now I don't know what to say... This is going to be so awkward... :S At least I did something right for a change, well like I do anything wrong though... maybe not printing out the task sheet like Mr Andrews told us do to for homework. Like it's that hard to just print a couple of sheets off, seriously!! How can I forget to do that!! I was was panicking this morning because I asked Shelby to do it but the computers were so SLOW (as usual) and the bell rang so we just left it. When I came to class I didn't know whither Mr A would be mad at me for forgetting to print them off or not... so I was considering on telling a white lie but then I thought that lies don't make problems better they just make a situation worse so I told him that I don't have it but I do have it on my USB. Surprisingly enough he didn't do much... or maybe he did, I was not watching him do anything...
So the start of the lesson was pretty agonising... well not that agonising I was just panicking. Mr Andrews started off telling us that we need to take out our homework. So for me having no homework I had to take one of Shelby's task sheets and pretend it was mine so I wouldn't get in trouble. But he didn't notice that I didn't have mine, until he called one of us up to show him our blogs. This was the whole class and in alphabetical order so I was third of the mark... You know I didn't know what to expect because I was more worried about getting in trouble for not printing off the sheets but Mr Andrews was pretty cool. I went up to... My gosh this is so embarrassing!! Well anyways I went up to him and I showed him my blogs and he told me that I must be doing something wrong. (This is only in a sarcastic way... but at first I believed him that I was really doing something wrong... :S). Then he mentioned that I was the only (or so) one do be doing reflections for a whole week or so. I didn't know what to say because what do you say when someone says that and then says that they knew all ready that you've been doing the reflections plus that they are reading them as well... so there is not comment or reply to that remark.
While Mr Andrews was asking students to talk to him about their blogs, I carried on with doing my work on GarageBand. I didn't get much down because I was looking through the loops to find the perfect fit for the footage. The scenes that I was doing was where Susie is in the kitchen with her mum talking about going to this party or not. I was looking through these different loops and I couldn't find a rhythm or anything to fit in but then I found something that was similar to what I was looking for or it just blinded well with the footage. I believe for me is finding the right loop to match with the footage because you can't have a random loop and place it there because that'll sound really strange. You have to blind everything in together and not let the ending of the loop end really strange. After you found the base of the texture you have to add layers, which I had fun deleting and adding to the base because I thought that it would blind well but as the conclusion was I had just left it as it was with just the base of the texture. By the end of the lesson I had only put 1 loop in the footage and looked through lots of loops. The bad thing about having these loops is that none of them are the right loop for what I have in mind. Maybe I'm really thinking as a composer by just creating a rhythm in my head and finding a similar rhythm through the loops. This possibility isn't that possible because these loops are created for us and we can't add our own rhythm to this program.
So far I am sort of happy with my progress because the progress of creating a soundtrack is taking a very long time but as we have the long weekend I'll focus on it during the weekend.
TO DO LIST:
1. See what my other group have on their blogs
2. Do an hour or so on GarageBand
3. See what I need to add onto my blog
