The addition of Film/Flash to sound.

Below is the video composition for my Digital Practice assignment 'Adding Flash/Film to sound'. I created a short film to add visual narration to my Soundscape that was composed to represent the word 'Nervous'. The Soundscape was performed and recorded by myself using various musical instruments. I wanted to set a similar tone for the video as I did for the music. My final idea was to gradually build the tension for the audience, making them more and more anxious. Then just as they get uncomfortable, they experience an on screen visual attack. The purpose of this tension build up was to allow the thought of fear to take over the viewer until they reach the climax of the film where everything becomes instantly black. This emotional journey constructed was intended to be similar to the feelings you would get if you were having an actual panic attack. I decided to create a dream/nightmare sequence using actors, D.I.Y camera tricks, costumes, Flash and digital effects.
