De-fective Love_DVD_Design
This is the final design for the DVD case cover. I kept it really simple with just one image of the main character and a brief blurb at the back, giving a rough idea what the short film is about.
FVIA Sound Experimental
For my music and sounds, I used apple GarageBand to help me produce the music that suits my short film. Below shows a few sample clip and photos during the process. Not only this but I also put clips of the music that influence me with the idea I came up with during composing.

De-fective Love
“A psychological disorder that drives people to kill the ones they love in order to preserve or consummate their beloved one...”
Synopsis:
Jay, an unemployed independent photographer, who falls in love with an undergraduate student, Eva from the very first sight. To capture her heart and soul he makes a way to get into her life. Thinking he has succeed, something else has occurred and another side of Jay has came out, a side that will definitely make Eva, his forever, at any cost and ways.
Target Audience:
Anyone, no particular groups or age boundaries.
Context:
“It’s Called Love” has no relation to previous work.
Everyone has a different approach or perspective towards the word “love”. It can be expressed in many ways and terms as some believes it and some doesn’t. Having psychological disorders involved in this short film, it may not be an important issue for today but this depends on how people deals with “love” around them in the nearer future. “Love” can definitely play with people minds and sometime in can even control their life or the way they behave and act. It could turn someone behaving unexpectedly and do things that you wouldn’t expect or imagine them doing at the first place. (Refer to real life/personal case study).
Research:
Ab-normal Beauty_Oxide Pang Chun (2004)
Use of camera and lighting effects
American Psycho_Mary Harron (2000)
Character behaviors and attitude - hiding the characters alternate psychopathic ego from others as they escalates deeper into their own illogical, gratuitous fantasies.
Obsessed_Steve Shill (2009)
How love can make people behave differently and dangerously - desperate to get close to someone, at any cost.
“How far would you go to protect what’s yours?”

FVIA Sound Design
The sound that will be involved in my production work is exploring the emotions of the characters as well as creating the right sense of atmosphere with the use of music. However, I do not want to turn each scene in to some sort of music video kind of feeling with music playing in the background and just actions with no dialogues. The major sound in this production will be mainly diegetic sound where the audience will be able to hear the sound that is being played on screen. The music or sound I will be using will be play through live instruments, the keyboard, where my character will be expressing his feelings through the music being played on the keyboard. A way of expressing the characters feeling through music rather than words. It also creates the mood and atmosphere of happiness, anger and sadness.
The sound that will be use in this production will consider as pretty important to me especially as the production work will not be containing heavy dialogues or speeches but actions, movements and use of diegetic sounds which will be expressed visually. The idea of using music to express the characters feeling and the mood of the scene came through an interest of Korean dramas. With the influence of Korean dramas, I came across a drama called “You’re beautiful” directed by Hong Sung Chang, where music is used in the drama to express a characters feeling, not only this but also a skill of approaching to another character without the use of dialogues but music. This type of technique has been used throughout most of the 16 episodes. After watching this drama and impressed with the sound being used, I wanted to explore a similar technique for my production work but rather than singing a song, I have gone for just music instrument on its own without vocals. As an audience point of view, watching the korean drama “You’re beautiful”, I was able to feel the atmosphere of the scenes more stronger with the music being played by the characters. It makes the scene more realistic and puts the audience mind more into the story and gives the audience a rough guide of how or what the characters emotion is saying or feeling.
To conclude my sound design for my production work, I have attached a few clip examples from the Korean drama “You’re Beautiful” of how the sounds were used in the drama.
