Audio Piece

Today we were given a project to produce an experimental audio piece. Because I want to do animation, I was thinking of doing something with the cartoon sounds and make a story from that. Then I thought about the Sex Pistols covers and how they use different texts that look like they have been torn out of a paper. I could mix them together to create different words said by different cartoon characters, and maybe but them into a quote of some sort.
Jamie Reid, who designed the famous covers for the Sex Pistols is who I'm talking my inspiration from because I think there could be a few more different ways that I could explore into my audio piece.



Idea 1- Use Jamie Reid's style of the "ransom note" to create a collage of words from different well known cartoon characters and make their catch phrases (or quotes) from them.
       A- Possibley guess who says what?
       B- Change the catch phrases for the confessionals of the character. Example- "I hate that rabbit"= Elmer Fudd.
Idea 1 is to complicated to do because the words are to unique to find instead of more commonly used words. I got the idea of the confessionals from a previouse project that I was given and I thought it would be a good angle to put onto this one. I could encorporate the guess who says what idea with the confessions.

I've recorded cartoon voices like Stewie Griffin, Mouse soup- Feeling good, Biker Mice from Mars, Looney Tunes and more. The snipits that I choose have the most used words like them, it, I, and, feel and so on, but they also have uncommon words like, king, queen, commoners, decenders.


I've wrote out all the recordings, used different colours for the different characters, lettered the seperate recordings and numbered the words so that when it comes to me writing down the words that I am going to use for the confessionals it will be easier to refer back to them when I get to the editing. 

These are some character's confessional ideas. Just a few things on what they could have to hide, some work better than others.
