Hello world. Ok, so the plan was to create a short animation of something completely void of stirring up any emotion for the viewer when watching it, then to add sound and experiment with how it alters the mood of the scene. I knew that finding something with no emotional attachment would not be easy, as the world is surrounded by symbols and hidden meanings for people. But I'm now wondering if anything at all is completely void of emotion, and if there is such a thing, I'm not sure how much sound could change that. I wonder if it needs to be something of interest that dependant on the sound added, changes its meaning. Such as if I animated a panning shot of a tabletop with dirty dishes and added, say, Gary Jules' 'Mad World'- it would create an uneasy atmosphere and make the viewer wonder what had happened previously in this scene, or as though this kitchen is belonging to a dysfunctional group. Or if I added a piece of music such as 'Henrietta' by The Fratellis, it would seem as though about to introduce you to a flat of stay-up-all-night students, living in mess because of their care-free lifestyle. However, with this image, I'm not sure how many other emotions I could create. I'd like to animate something with more possibilities.
Another thought... If I animated a person, I could not show their face as this would very quickly give it a mood. Body language also gives alot away but can be controlled I think. Needs more thought.
Also, for this part of my project, I'm focusing on the relationship between sound and image. Therefore, the image I use doesn't need to be made using animation - it could just be filmed and still produce to same effect. Need to research into buying a video camera. However, for now, I will test my theory out on still photographs.
