The day when we are having our first session for Sound for screen, I used hydrophone to capture sound of the water from the little area outside Castle Center. I recorded three clips, and found that only the first one has sound. I listened to it with headphones and visualised it at home and generate this image which is so different from what came to my mind when we are doing the eye-closed listening exercise with Jessica.
The sound under water recorded by hydrophone sounds like trains and metal hitting with sparkles of strings and bubbles, which make me think of a pumpkin shaped jellyfish with beer foams in it and a train to pass by. This picture was very different to what I used to visualise that is more graphical and made up of fundamental shapes. What’s more, the sound quality and texture the hydrophone gives might not be good as the pole when we come to the application in commercial film production. What captured by H5’s microphone sounds more realistic to what we expect to how the water sounds.
