Light Design

| The fine lines of lights from the bedroom, seeking through the bathroom. |

| An artificial light hanging from the ceiling reflects the wall made out acrylic in a dark atmosphere. |

| The reflection of the light from the inside shine on the pathway , hitting all the patterns on the glass wall. |

| Multiples glasses hanging from the ceiling; I'm using a different shape of glass to get a mix of reflection on the wall. |
Sound Design
 |
In this exercise, we were asked to design a sound effect to go with the video we made in the previous exercise.I tried to explore with different methods of sound making using the things I have at home. The photos illustrate one of the methods I used. I used glasses fill up with different amounts of water in each glass and I used plastic sticks to hits the glass to see if it makes a different sounds or not.As a result, I used the sound that I record at home mix it with the sound of slow music box. Immersive Environment |
In this exercise, we were asked to create an immersive environment in our home by using light and sounds. From the two previous activities, I decided to use one of the methods I used in exercise 5 when I was exploring and documenting the light of its shadow and effect. By using a different texture of glass, it gave me an unexpected result when I move my light sources around. The colors that appear on the glass surface, which reflects, from the lamp were surprising and in my opinion, the variety of colors on the glass surface created an immersive environment. For the sounds, I continuing to use the soft, slow sounds from the music box to match with the video. In my opinion, you do not necessarily need to use a lot of different kind of sounds to create an immersive environment. For me it also depends on the volume of the sounds and the surrounding as well (quite room/noisy room).
My intention is to create an experience that I experience at home every night in my bedroom, as I need to turn lights on and have a glass of water besides me when I sleep. Sometimes, when I wake up in the middle of the night, before I turn to take a glass of water to drink I will see the reflection on the glass as the lamp is sitting behind it. Furthermore, the reason that I choose these sounds is because of the apprehension I have towards the dark. Thus, I want to express the personal feelings I have through sounds in the video.
