嗯,那時候我們都很年青,你20歲,我23歲。那一年的我們都想看多一點這個世界,於是我們就巧合地遇上了。我們談及自己的背景、喜歡的音樂、旅途上的人與事。記得嗎?我們坐在梯級上望著那條橋,無言了很久,突然你說對生活開始感到迷失,面對這句突如其來像是要交心的對白,在毫無準備下,隨便問一下原因就很刻意地把話題轉換過來,然後又再回復沉默。

十六小時後,彼此頂多只是說了一句很高興遇到你呀,然後就話別了,自始我們就沒有在那個國土再見過。當時心想,不見也好,晏花一現的緣份最美好。

可惜俗套的劇情當然會安排我們再見。當時心想,轟轟烈烈也好,應該比晏花一現更值得回味。

我們的命運應該是在那時候產生了強烈的變化。

隨著年紀增長,彼此都好像很很害怕改變,但是安穩的生活又會為人帶來不安的感覺。可能那不安的感覺是因為我們感覺到自己長大,明白了自己正在背負著不同的社會和自身的責任,人生不一定可以再率性而行。那年我們遇見,你沒有說過你希望將來買一套房子;你說你希望駕電單車游遍印度。你也沒有投訴過生活不夠富庶;你說你能夠旅遊已經感到知足。是呀,我們的想法一直在變,我們不知不覺間都在放棄年輕時那份冒險、知足的心,轉而尋求安穩的生活。

分別是兩年半前和一年前,我做了兩個重要的決定,自此之後,我再沒勇氣為人生再下決定,因為,我覺得我應該再承受不起的。一時間,我覺得自己其實是身處在困局裡面,身與心都不能夠坦誠面對自己。

然後,某天我看到了我們還未相愛的一張合照,那時我不會打扮(雖然現在也不會),但是我很喜歡那時的我。我記得那時你說過你很欣賞我隻身旅行的那份勇氣,而今天,你亦都可以同樣以那一份的欣賞目光去看待我這一個不理後果的任性行為。人海茫茫,世界之大,我想我終於明白我們為甚麼會選中對方了。

 

So long , Farewell

 

 

 


 

This assignment was made for interpreting the relationship between sound effects and emotion.

I tried to apply two different mixing approaches into the same video clip. For the first version, I created more noisy inside the bike shed and used some ‘gentle’ sound effects to create a harmonic environment. (eg. birds singing, people talking and walking etc) For the second version, I emphasized the emptiness of the space by putting a strong room tone and I used some ‘threatening’ sound effects (eg. dog barking and machine drilling etc)

Importance of response!

Unfortunately the test is not good enough to prove the relationship between sound effects and emotion. It is because I neglected the reaction of actors and actresses. It will not give any meaning to sound effects. Only changing soundtrack is not enough to give different emotions to actors/ actress.

Most of time, we see an image and then we will believe that we heard what we saw.

 

 

When you heard the image of raining, you will be easy to connect to sound of raining. It is understanding because we get used to perceive image first. So, is that necessary to show the audiences that ‘we heard what we saw’?

In fact,the sound of the video came from a baking meat! (of course, you had to tune it a bit after you recorded it)

 

 

Sound is fun. You can always explore the possibilities of anythings you heard in your daily life!
