Independent research 1

The first part of my research is how to make a monster effect using sound, the video I found shows the process behind making these creatures and monster effects.  

• The process behind making these creature sounds starts with a simple noise made from a recording, this recording could be of tongue clicking or any of the above. 

• This photo here shows someone recording noises from themselves, these noises can be very simple and it doesn't matter if they are perfect because you can always take out certain unwanted sounds. An example of an unwanted sound would be breathing, although it could be one of the main noises you may want to represent a sound a creature would make as well. 

• The use of third party props like water can also be used to make noises that represent a creature of slimy nature.

•  The next step of the process of creating these realistic creature sounds is too edit up all the audio recordings and cut them to the sections of sound which will actually be used. 

• This is the final and most time consuming step of creating these creature noises, this process includes layering multiple recordings, and amplifying or decreasing the tone. All together these layered sounds create an unheard of noise with a mixture of clicking and growling at the same time creating an unsettling feeling when listening to it. 

How to create Fake saliva 

In our opening scene the use of saliva may be used, this is to capture the drooling nature and hunger of this creature that curses this forest the old man walks through. But for hygiene reasons we can't use real saliva so my next bit of research will be about how to creature fake saliva.

This video shows a step by step process in how to create this fake saliva, I picked this video because although it says saliva slime, I think that this will have a better effect, as this thicker texture would make the creature seem even more unnatural, and this is something I will be trying to achieve in creating a scary opening scene. 

The ingredients needed to create this includes:

• Clear glue
• Clear soap
• Baking soda
• Water
• Eye lotion
• A small cup (a shot glass)
• A small clear bowl
• A wooden spoon

The amount of this slime saliva that I would make will be the same amount as shown in the video. 

• The process of creating this slime starts with a small amount of clear glue which will be poured into a small clear bowl. 
• Then you add around the same amount to the bowl, and mix it around with the wooden spoon. 
• After this you put aside the bowl and poor a tiny amount of baking soda into the shot glass 

• After this you add a few drops of water to the shot glass after this mix it around a little bit. 
• next step is add the shot glass to the bowl and mix it around till its bubbly, next step is too added a few drops of eye lotion.
• Final step is to keep mixing until it becomes a slime.
