Introduction to the Psycho Shower Scene


Introduction to the
Psycho Shower Scene Task


Our Task:

Our task was to take a look at a silent version of the shower scene from psycho and think about which sounds we could put over it, such as pouring rice into a container for the running water and a deflating balloon for the screaming.


Definition of Foley:

Foley is the process of creating additional sounds for film footage. An exemple would be a montage of various scenes with the use of background music, known as Non-diegetic sound.

Our workshop provided many objects that we could use for sound effects, including the rice and the deflating balloon as mentioned above, as well as using a knife to "stab" a cabbage for the woman being killed. We sometimes had to make our own sounds, notably recording footsteps as audio for the murderer entering the bathroom.


What went well?


Recording the sounds was overall a very easy process and gave us a chance to improvise with the various objects provided.


What didn't go so well?


The hardest sound to recreate was the stabbing. This was mainly because it was difficault to make it sound like a knife piercing something.


Editing Process:


For the editing, I am using Adobe Premiere as I have used it many times throughout my GCSEs and my previous media course.


So far, I am finding it to be quite a simple process, as I am currently arranging the recordings into their appropriate positions.


This task still requires more to be done, but it is not very far from completion. It mainly revolves around adding in more recordings and potentially a soundtrack.

The Filming Process

Week 1 We finalised our pre-production paperwork before we got started on our filming. For those who had already completed their assigned paperwork, it was a case of sorting out the production's props. On the Wednesday and Thursday of that week, we managed to film most of, if not pretty much all of the footage for my segment and some of Kian's as well. Week 2 During this week, the filming experienced some heavy setbacks due to the extreme weather, which consisted of freezing temperatures and extensive snowfall. We were only able to come in on Monday and run through the first few lines of the first scene. On Tuesday, not everyone managed to come in, and on Wednesday and Thursday, the college was closed full stop, so that got rid of any chances of filming. Week 3 This week consisted mostly of filming Cameron's scenes and the scenes using the mini-figures. Most of the live action was filmed on Monday, with the scenes using the mini-figures being filmed from Tues

1. Document what you did in the session on Tuesday and Wednesday (Pictures, Diary entries, Printouts ETC) 2. List under the following   Processes carried out in the sessions: Processes a) To begin the sessions, We were assigned in to four different groups so that we could come up with a 1 minute advert for the BIC four colour pen. b) My groups idea was very different to that of the other groups. This was because our had a 'hippies on the moon' theme to it which I thought was a bit silly at first, but was suprised at how it worked later on. c) All four groups had to listen to the ideas developed by others so that we could vote on which one the advert would be based on. d) To my surprise, my group's idea actually ended up winning the vote, and it took a lot of thought into how to make it into a production. e) A makeshift spacecraft was set up for the 'landing on the moon' scene. It was primarily made up of a few chairs and a table
