#hwa6 #refusalasform to also return to my choice to distort and muffle Voice 2 during SME2, it is not by any means an ideal listening experience. the listener is left craning their neck, straining their ears to understand what is being said there.

#hwa6 #refusalasform I tried to make one of the audio parts of the video sync well with the video tracks.

I felt a bit uncomfortable with the idea of straying from what feels typical in formal recordings or films. Adding to the original response from SME #1 for SME #2 introduced additional perspective by interrupting the flow and adding complexity that promotes more questioning #hwa6 #refusalasform

I distorted and slowed voice down to reflect how is sounded to the interviewer in the confusing situation. In that situation, my words don't have meaning but exist there as ambient noise.

In my SME 3 my videos were not always a visual aide to the subject of freedom. They were the feeling that didn't always come across right. The placement of my images didn't always it.

In SME #2, I layered music behind my voice and added a subtle background orchestra, then cranked the static at the end, almost erasing myself. Part Four says “refusal in form reshapes narrative space,” and here it reframed how the story lived. #hwa6 #refusalasform

In my SME No. 2, I refused resolution by preventing by layering rain over the second half of my audio. I think in a sense, it contributed to its structure in that it is meant to create a sense of sorrow that comes with the more mournful tone I take. #hwa6 #refusalasform

In SME no. 3. I added a door slamming shut in the background. Sometimes it happens in the middle of my sentence. This shows the idea mentioned in #hwa6 of how form trains our attention. In this case, it's through interruption. #refusalasform

In SME 3, I refused to resolve it by never explaining why I was testing the objects or what they meant. The film stayed committed to its visual rules instead of revealing a message at the end. In Part 4 of HWA, a media object can "recondition the terms of attention"

#hwa6 #refusalasform I interrupted my own voice through editing my voice by addiing reverb and echo to the point of it being almost unpleasant to listen to for a long time. Part four made me realize that this refusal restructured my piece because as DLMBL is composed to disorient us, I did the same

In this part, I think the most important words our teacher said is "absorb". The author is no longer representing herself, but immersing herself in the media that's full of grief.
We can't distinguish if she was talking about others or expressing herself through these events.

In SME No. 3, I ended with the paper card only half visible instead of bringing it back to the center. Part four’s idea of negative capability helped me see this as a refusal of resolution. The viewer is left waiting for the card to return, but it never does.

I think that my SME 3 refuses to allow you to understand exactly what you are looking at. You are meant to be confused while watching, but also realize that it is still beautiful even if you don't understand it. "it refused to give you a story about what happened" #hwa6 #refusalasform

Similar to the image of the wood planks sitting on the road, the music wasn't meant to explain it was there just to sit and not deliver clarity #hwa6 #refusalasform

One precise time when I refused resolution in SME 2 is when I layered a sound that didn't fit. In the background of my disrupted monologue I chose background music that had nothing to do with the actual words that were being said. #hwa6 #refusalasform

n *SME 2*, I refused to resolve the issue by fragmenting my voice into disjointed sentences detached from my own natural rhythm and by sustaining this fragmentation rather than resolving it...

this connects to the idea that refusing coherence can be a form itself, by disrupting flow, the piece shifts from explaining to disorienting, forcing the audience to sit in uncertainty instead of resolution. #hwa6 #refusalasform

in SME 2 i refused resolution by cutting off a sentence mid-thought and not returning to it, leaving the idea unresolved. the technique was interruption of voice to break narrative closure. #hwa6 #refusalasform

In my last SME, I put a muffled sound over my voice at certain points to create the effect that I was almost whispering. I was almost unsure of what I was saying. I was forcing the listener to listen more closely to what I was saying as a deliberate choice. #hwa6 #refusalasform
March 28, 2026 at 3:09 AM
#hwa6 #refusalasform By altering my voice I created an echo and because of that. I felt very ominous which ended up being the direction that I decided to move in when finishing that SME2
March 30, 2026 at 4:20 AM
I put an echo effect over part of my dialogue in my original response in SME2. It made it seem like I was second-guessing my own thoughts, like I couldn't figure out what I wanted. The distortion shapes the meaning, as I am confused about what my life's true meaning was. #hwa6 #refusalasform
March 30, 2026 at 12:12 AM
#hwa6 #refusalasform During SME3, I chose to delay my voice and distort it in order to emphasize the change of tone and try and force the listener to stay more connected to what I was saying.

started you could immediately tell the difference in the chaos between both parts #hwa6 #refusalasform

to create the kind of environment that ancitipates uncertainty, and the contagion of feeling, like in her TV man/boy portion. #hwa6 #refusalasform
