sociology of sound

This song here makes me feel happy, uplifted, excited and FUNKY!!!.
I like the fast techno trum beat in the background and the fast paste music that keeps coming and coming like a good weave and the parts were it builds the tension and unleash the awsomeness energectic music like a massive explosion.
this song actually isn't on itunes.

I like this for many and complicated reasons but like it because of how it starts, it builds the tension then release the carm soving singing voice but still holding that tension making sound cool and how it sounds old but also hip so the young generation might like and keeps going on  and on with a cool beat. I feel like the sound is meaning full like there's a purpose, like he's shouting out for a good cause, its rare jem this song is. The giutar in the background that keeps going un-interupted i just love how it keeps going.

This song i like because its so energetic, fast paste, powerfully loud and builds up the tension quiet nicely and mainly because it was in iron man and the avengers and even though its rock music its actually cool.

In my opinion music is an expression of the artist feelings or a part of it, but i think the reason why we like certain music is because we can relate to those feelings and i think its that connection that drives a connection to liking certain music.
Were as some music, i think, can control our feelings, which may or may not control or feelings to liking certain music, with some music it can make us so happy, stong, enogetic amd proud were as other music can destory those feelings and make us feel sad, depressed, suicidle and philisothicla. I believe the other part of music can control or emotion, it may be why there's consprises that their are hidden messages in music but i was thinking not that saddistic.
As well as control our feelings and emotion towards, i beleave that music is used to set the mood in scenario a situation that accours, but not music as in singing, i mean of course theme music to tell the type of situation that has a rosen, like for example there would be tunes for; inamate danger, horrorific scenes, silence, being chased, heroic moments, saddness over a well known character death and a triomph day and as well as an iconic theme tune for a triligoy or more of games and films that people reckonise istantly when they here it . I beleave in doing this creates a more realistic atsmosphere for film or game.
Here are some examples of what i'm talking about;

This tune right here is from the Halo legends, a different bunch of collection of animation sournding the story of Master Chef.
Now i like because it sounds perfect, through out there's no interupions through out the tune and it sounds loud and powerful, when i listen to it sounds like the type of music were a battle is about to comence and that you get to see a bird eye view of the whole battle and just at the end it sounds like a series of heroism is taking place in 3D HD with surrond sound.

Know when i here this tune i instantly know its the pirates of the caribbean tune because its well know and its been through out all four pirates of the caribbean, this was played when something awsome and adventuress was happening and thats what i think when i here the tune, that we are on one hell of an awsome journey and adventure.

This is the The Dark Knight Rises theme tune, i think this suits batman personality to how much he's muchord of the years from the comics books, to the horrid tv show to the cartoon series to the early movies and now the dark knight rises triliogy. I like the way it starts off because it kinda sounds like the type of tune that would be played when someone sneaking around, thats very much batman. I like it at the start when it builds up the tension then release the orcistarted dramatic music that is Batman.

With games you will be needing soundtracks for games that suit moments such as, fight scenes, pursuits or inamate danger.

This is a piece of soundtrack from the the assassins creed brotherhood soundtrack, i like it for its fast pace and how it keeps getting louder near the end, when i here this it makes feel that its the type of music used when someone is being pursued/in a real good chase scene.

This is a piece of soundtrack from Halo 4 soundtrack, I like how it starts of very calmly and very slowly builds up the tension with such beautiful orchstrated music and then out of no where it release the loud bounding beats, when i hear it sounds like your walking up to near coming battle scenario and when the loud beats comes on it makes me feel that the protaganis has just gone head first in to  glorious battle where he rises up victouris at the end.

This is a piece of soundtrack from Uncharted 3 Drake Deception, I like it for it sounds so beautiful orchstarted like something you would get from a opreha house and for its hidden beat in the background, when i hear it sounds some sort of pursuit with some high intense action

What I need to finish

I have basically just about done everything for this project that i need to do, i have my icons for the points of intrest, i have my map that i'm going to use. All that is needed to do is to basically turn my icons into buttons on my maps and make it so they do something like change a bit when hovered over and maybe a bit of animation to happen when clicked upon as well as section of infomation come on screen explaining the some infomation about the area. i was thinking about a video as well as text when clicking about the area, my original idea about using a video was to film the actor/actress talking about the area but floors were shot through this plan because the camera equipment wasn't good at recording sound and there were people hovering around the dam area, but i came up with an alternative which would be to do a 360o turning of the point of intrest and maybe have an actor/actress talk about the area.

The route

(Steven, Ali) we started in Robert’s park (Steven, Ali) near graffiti park from that starting point were led under the bridge that connects saltaire to Roberts park where we were told a story  that in distance going down river we told that there used to be a bridge there and in world war II they used to drive tanks over this bridge to test them and in the 1960’s the bridge was taken down for some reason, from there we walked into the middle of Robert’s park sticking to river aire were we stop by this small beach area  opposite the boat house where we were told about how people used to sun bathe, swim and play and stuff but as the years went it wasn’t advisable to be there because of some floaters they told us in the early 21^st century from that little beach to the half moon cafe it was once flooded.  From the beach we walked to and past the cricket pavilion to an open bit of land that was owned and bought by Sir Titus Salt in the 1800’s (allotments), when we arrived at this point they said that all this land was actually all water and they built this land on top of it with a particular soil so they were able to build the allotments and other various bits and pieces,  under this land there is a pipeline excrement’s,  they also explained that this land was more rural, it was all opened land, there were boulders and animals were roaming the land. From there we moved to the tree were our tour guide explained that there was a man that lived near this tree who was in WWII, they told us how this man was once captured and tried to escape the prison camp but because he got caught he was nailed to the floor and left to roast in the sun, eventually this man got to get home where he found some sweet puppy love.  From this point they walked us to a Hirst foot bridge that crossed the river were they explained that this river carried many multi coloured excrement’s and that the water was uninhabittle for swimming and bathing for a while anyway.  From Hirst foot bridge  we walked to Hirst boat house were they told us that the boat house didn’t originate there but across the river, they dismantled it and re-build across the river.

For unit 75 we need to do a simple to read map of leeds to liverpool canal map with button pressing infomation popping animtion.

for today we in-printed symbols into our map symboliezing key areas of our map so for example trees for trees, building for building and a H for hospital. the way we did this was we copied and pasted an image from the internet that symbolies our areas onto a new page on photoshop, I then went on to edit then pressed define brush pattern then went onto my map page, click onto the brush tool then brush preset picker and look for the newly designed brush and then click on the different parts of my map to put my symbols.

What i want for my map is a simple but very attractive map, colourful, and to have icons of certain building and landmarks placed all over my map but i want these icons to look cartoonish or to have some sort of cartoon characteristic to it and when you hovered over it with your mouse it would change slightly to let you know you can click and when you click onto it, it zooms in closer  to a box of infomation or it takes you to a different page or the whole infomation pops out underneath on a sticky note. People would follow the map up the canal bouncing from landmark to building to building to landmark.

 

 this is what i want to go for or its a ruth idea that im swinging with for know but i though since it a map i would go with a pirates map to make look good or to give it some charm. the main routes are the high lighted stuck out ones, the red for the road, blue for the canal and greenish grey the train. for icons i put trees as icons forest and basic greeny area, the trainstation symbol for the train, H for the hospital and certain building blocks for building, so far this is what i've done

Multi-Story-Water concept art work

this is concept work of my work on what type of icons that i might be using on a map, each of them represents and points a particular building or area on the map. when i was working on them i wanted to give a cartoonie type texture to make it look it more attractive to catch people eyes.

The top left one is a salt shaker with a human face this icon is the icon that represents all the major Sir titus salt building, that icon is humours joke to Sir titus salt name because he's the word salt in his name and i used a salt shaker as a joke and i thought that would be good as an icon.
The one underneath that one a train that looks like its about to speed off, this is the icon that gonna to represent all the train station in the area, when i was thinking of  a  train station icon i noticed that all of the weren't all that intresting so i thought putting a super dooper high speed train and i figured that would be cool.
The one underneath that one is the church icon, know at the time i wanted to use the tree of life symbol for the church icon but people may have missed understood it so i went with a 3D cross with a beaming jesus light behind it.
The top middle one is the icon for all the other major and historical building, i couldn't be bothered with doing individual so what i did to solve all problems with one is to have a icon with a bunch of buildings put together and made to look like they were jumping out of the page like some cartoon city.
The one underneath that is a icon for a music shop, when i was working on this i didn't want to put down a music symbol or some sort of musical instrument it was just to annoyingly common for so i went for a boom box jumping around with musical symbols coming out of it, all with each individual funky colours.
The one underneath that one is the icon that represents Roberts park, when working on this one i kinda struggle with this one because i didn't know what kind a icon i could of used to represent a park then i started to think about what people did in park which was playing around, so i made an icon with the stuff that people play with and i thought i would try to make it look like the bases of pirates symbol.
The bottom middle was the icon that represents major forest or a forest with a names and the area. it was hard to come up with something creative that could symbolizes a forest which inevatable lead me a tree, its hard not to use a tree there aren't that many things accosiated with trees.
The top right icon is an icon for a swing bridge for this i decide to immate the swing bridge symbol that you see on the side of the road on a road sign, to be oniste i didn't know what to put for a swing bridge so i decided to go with tho one you on a road sign.
The last icon is just a small drawing of a band for the icon to represent the band stand in roberts park.

What i could of done differently was i should of done my variation of icons for each of the icons that i've done, i should'n't of just relied on just the one drawing i did, it si very un-prof...

what i learnt is that is a kinda painful process to in a matter of speaking, i just find it tier-some.

iron man and halo music videos

halo music video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b9OJY7Ip_c

                                                                    iron man music


Thanks to the home bargins connection on the blogger i wasn't able to upload the videos so i had to make do with the youtube links, any the first link is my halo music video and the second is my iron man music.

the halo music video was an idea that came to me when i first saw the glitch on a videogame called halo reach were on the mission new alxeandrea were you basically fly around the whole mission in a falcon were after a while you have to press this secret button under the hosiptal and then go to the disco were you find the covernent getting their funk on, my original intention was to use my own recording on halo reach and use that as my music video but i couldn't get my videos to my computer for editing so i had to use videos on youtube to make my music video,so i used youtube downloader to download the videos of youtube  to put onto moviemaker were i edit out the bits i didn't need and compiled the rest into a music video and for the music i choose Madagaster-i like to move it.
i wouldn't know how to compare this to a professional example i would say this is the first time that someone has to took a videogame and made it look like a music video but as an idea a good opatuneatie.
i haven't shown the video to anyone yet but i bet anyone that is a Halo Fan would love my injanuitie.
it would be hard for me to improve it but to improve it i would add more scenes changes and maybe some louder funkadelic music and i wouldn't have done it any differently.

the iron man music video was a challenge that i set for myself, i wanted to do a stop motion animation music. the idea was to have iron man walk up on stage and start tapping to the music but without revealing that it was iron man and then when the main bit started iron man would exploded (meto-) on to screen where he would start to sing along to the music with different camera angles and then there would be screens were he would do a aire guitar. the music i choose for this was ACDC back in black.
if was to compare this to a professional example  i would say some of the scenes are to common and there need to be more different scenes were iron man is doing different things . this video has been shown and people loved it because i used and iron man action figure singing along to a piece of music that was used in the iron man films.
if i was to improve it i would have iron man doing different things with different angles with maybe a background.
