sound composition

I created this bed from foley sounds that I have collected over the years and also recorded. I wrote a narrative that is based on a trip I took this past weekend to town. While shooting for a video for another class, I saw this old guy walking down the sidewalk. I have seen him many times before and he always seemed lonely. I have tried to talk to him, yet he just nods and keeps walking. Pretty sad, either way.
Here is the soundcloud link to my comp

Media Arts Project Concept


 For my project I am going to shoot a short horror video, with the premise of a young girl who has telekinetic powers. Sort of like firestarter I suppose haha! Anyway, I will be shooting with either my sony vx1000 camera or possibly the canon xl h1 hd camera that my buddy has. I would be using my family as actors because they are easily accesible and will do release forms with them. I have an idea of where to shoot an exterior shot, an old girls school that is abandoned and rumoured to be haunted. Either way it is pretty creepy! Here is a pic of the school that I found online.





 I will be using Final Cut Pro and After Effects for special effects. I will then upload to youtube and supply the link for class to view.
