For this project I have chosen to visually respond to the given sound piece Foley. When listening to it I liked the relation to nature and the sounds that you might hear in some sort of woodland. I liked how even though the material was an audio piece there still seemed to be some narrative and story going on within it. I particularly liked how this narrative is open to interpretation and how everyone's opinion of it will be different as they would have gone though different experiences through out life that might influence this. Therefore no two peoples version of the story would be different so I decided to go with what ever comes to my mind when listening to it.
Throughout the piece there seem to be lots of different animal noises such as those from birds and maybe a frog. And given one of our tasks will be to create a character, I decided to base my made up story, in response to the sound piece, from the point of view of one of these animals.
My initial thoughts were maybe to set this "story" in a rainforest of some sort so then my character could be some sort of tropical frog which might have been interesting to explore in multiple visual ways. However I decided that the sounds within the piece didn't really depict a rainforest environment but rather of just a normal woodland, maybe within a local park.
In the audio track there seems to be several transitions, it starts off slow and then builds to some sort of climax and then dies down again at the end. I thought this could maybe be an indication of a daily process, with the beginning starting off slow as all the animals are waking up, and then in the middle of the day there is some sort of dramatic event, and then night comes, which might lead to other perhaps nocturnal animals coming out and then morning comes again at the end of the piece as it sort of finishes off how it started.
I therefore thought the story could be from the point of view of a bird of some kind, that maybe follows it's journey throughout the day, documenting what it might see and the things it might come across. The climax could be the occurrence of a threat of some kind, maybe a cat chases it and then the story could document what happens around it as night falls and the bird goes to sleep.
For this project I wanted to produce a proper final outcome that relates more to what I am interested in doing in the future such as surface pattern or textile design. I therefore thought that I could produce a series of 4 images that could be translated on to fabrics or other materials and then used to make products such as cushions, clothes, diaries etc. In these images I plan to explore my made up story produced in response to the "Foley" sound piece, and hopefully when all the images are played out at the end of the project, however they might be displayed, they will illustrate this narrative.
