Sample Planning

• Around 5 girls saying and repeating the text/ speaking over each other
• About 15 seconds long
• Volume heightened at around 7-8 seconds 
• Not much changed in pitch of voices 

Sketchbook Page

This is the text that I want to use in this project. I wrote it when I was completing my Foundation course but never created work from it because I wanted to use it in future 'sound' work. 

Artist Research

The most influential artists I have looked at in the past are: Tracey Emin, Louise Bourgeois and Rosa Barba. This research is a continuation from my Foundation FMP research.
Tracey Emin allows me to explore themes that are extremely personal and private. I enjoy the simplicity and outburst in her work and theme.
Louise Bourgeois suggested a rationale for my work- "It is necessary to recreate the past, in order to get rid of it". Her 'cages' were also extremely important in the process of my installation.
Lastly, the Rosa Barba exhibition that I visited was the third important element towards my film, in the way of aesthetic, and actually making a film.

Examples of artists' work:

Rosa Barba: Subject To Constant Change

Louise Bourgeois

 Always Welcome, 1998. Monoprint

Other artists I have explored include: Hannah Perry, Frank Auerbach, Christian Marclay and Bruce Nauman. 

Past Work/Concept

UAL Foundation- Final Exhibition (June 2013)

In this exhibition, I have used personal subjects to fuel my work. These subjects include sex, relationships, self-identity, love, personal experience and vulnerable states. I plan to continue to use these subject areas in the foreseeable future at Camberwell. The media I used in this exhibition is film (scratch), sound and collage. 

Recording Equipment

Since I don't have any professional recording equipment, and don't have the money to buy some, I decided the only way I was going to be able to record sound was on my phone.
I downloaded an 'app' called 'Easy Voice Recorder' that allows me to record sound at 16000 Hz, which means the sound is clear and of decent quality. It also has a storage capacity of 30 minutes which I think is enough for the amount of samples I need. The app is also quite simple to use, with a basic layout and is fitting for what I want to use the app for, as I am only creating samples.

Ideas

I wanted to keep it simple, and not overwhelm myself by planning a massive project and that in the time frame, I would not be able to complete. I knew from my last Final Major Project at college, that it might be a good idea to continue from there.
One of the most important elements of my final piece, was sound. I have planned to develop and focus on this media throughout my first year at Camberwell, so I think using it in my summer project would be a good start. This is the sound and film to my final piece at college (JUNE 2013): http://alicesagarfmp.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/finishing-filmsound.html

I have had an idea for a while now that I wanted to use sound in a major project in the first year of my degree. Since this would take a lot of planning and experiments, it might be a good idea to start early. So, for my summer project, I plan to: carry out research, record progress on my blog and in a sketchbook and then make audio samples that resembles a 'final piece'.

Brief

I received an email from Camberwell which included a brief for a summer project that had to be completed by the first week of term- which means I only have a month!
