Wearable Garment

Today i have finished making my wearable garment and my max patch. I have soldered all of the wires on to the to the keyboard chip and made the wires go through the shirt and through holes i cut in the sleeve. The wires are then connected to the donut like metal pieces which are glued to the sleeve. I soldered these pieces together. Each of the metal piece is connected to individual part of the key board chip. On the other side of the keyboard chip there was one wire connected to it. This was the main wire that when touched on each of the different wires in will make a different key. I put this wore through the right arm of the shirt then made a whole in the glove. There is small metal pieces on each of the fingers of the glove. There is a wire that connects each ends of the fingers together so i don't have to re connect each finger to the key board chip. I have made the max patch now so it just plays sounds, so when i wear my garment i am able to play 5 different tunes and make small simple piano songs by just tapping my the pieces of metal from the glove to the pieces of metal on the arm. I also have a 6th piece which when you tap it will start a continuous drum beat. I wasn't able to get the drum beat to loop so i just made it real long and will key going for about 2 minutes until you switch it off.

Horror Film Project "Home"

Camera and sound work

Two cameras, one following the main character, and on showing close ups off their face.

Like from the movie dead silence, a main character will be in the room making pop corn, boiling water and listening to music, there is a lot of noise, and in the space from 0 to 3 seconds all the sound goes down, and it is completely silent, and all you can hear is the heart beat, and the door creaking when opened and closed.


Background of the main character

Could have a background of mental illness (sleep paralysis) She always see's things when she goes into sleep paralysis, except the things that she see's are actually true.

Somewhere isolated, a big wooden house, in a country area, or on a farm.

Mental illness schizophrenic or autistic (could be a savant which will make the story more realistic)

If shot right, this will give a deep understanding of what we are trying to communicate with the audience. The skill of acting does not matter but they right camera cuts are to most essential part of this film. If we do not cut scenes or change angles of the camera frequently the audience will get bored and it will feel like they are just watching something happen however if we cut and change angles frequently the audience will fell like they are in the movie and they will understand the story from different points of view more and therefore express the emotions that we were trying to achieve, ie. Frightened (which will be easy) and hopefully even scared (which will be really hard to do)
