I’m still working on the ‘good’ version of the chase scene I discussed before and I feel it has potential, but I feel a bit disappointed that I couldn’t record an electric guitar because of the outbreak. I made my project brief and picked the scenes assuming I’d get some time in the studio so it’s been hard to make everything sound good.
The idea was that I would be using as many real instruments as possible and, while I have been able to improvise percussive sounds from normal objects, the main voice for this particular scene was intended to be an actual recording of a guitar. I tried to make it sound as good as I could but I still feel it sounds artificial. I feel like the idea of combining a “rock” vibe with Arab undertones is really good but, because of the limitations, it won’t sound as good as I was expecting it to when I first came up with the idea.
I know the university will take the circumstances into consideration for our projects but I always feel inclined to do as best as I can and I feel like this project won’t meet my expectations.
I’ll still put in all the effort and maybe I surprise myself in the end.
