Sound Confession

Assignment:

This assignment incorporates the medium of audio. Record a confession. The confession can be in the form of a secret or an apology.  You may use your voice, or the voice of someone else, to make the recording. Make a container to house the recording device.  The materials and processes used to construct the container should be reflective of the content of the confession.  No size limit. 

Objective:

Development of an idea that results in an expressive and meaningful visual and audio experience.

Materials:

Small recording device
9 volt battery
Foam board
Felt
Bandana
Drawing inks
Feather trim

My inspiration for the confession was from an episode of CSI. In the episode, a woman has an affair with a clown and then murders him. This is a link to it.

 I made a pillow like structure out of four pieces of felt.

 I cut up a bandana to make the shape of a bow tie.

The recording device was attached to the pillow after the confession was recorded.

 I used cut up feather trim to create hair for the clown. The nose was made of red foam cut into a circle.

 The blood was made by mixing red and brown drawing inks and adding a little bit of water.

I brushed blood around the clown and on the pillow to recreate the scene of the murder. The recording device is concealed beneath the hair. The button to activate the confession is inside a small cutout of the foam nose.

And now the feature presentation
