I'm doing an installation that, fore the time being at least, I've labelled "Rage". Basically it's my way of venting my frustration over having to take this course, lol.
Anyway, it involves sounds of anger, and I've already recorded sounds of breaking glass and clanging kitchenware, as well as screaming (mine and

tuinen's) and a series of more or less anxious sounds produced on a syhthesizer (and occasionally accomppanied by more screaming, lol). Problem is, the ideal situation would be to have at least an hour's worth of sounds (preferrably longer), and I can only scream so many times before I go hoarse. I guess I could always record some crocodile tears - I can actually be pretty convincing - to include the more fragile side of anger or something. I don't know.Incidentally, for the video part, suggestions of violent actions executable by a single person (and that don't involve actually hurting anyone) are also welcome.

..hour's worth of sound still sounds a lot of work. 8( Frustrated crying sounds good though.
And as for the video. Ho hum. Smashing walls and pillows, again? Try to get some junk you're allowed to break and throw it around in a sturdy room. Also scream and rip your hair and crawl on the ground in DESPAIR. Just imagine that you're fucking pissed at something, that should do it? 8D;
And the video part suggestions sound REALLY DAMN GOOD. Thanks!
Car horns are a good expression of anger I think, haha. Maybe any noise that starts out really soft and gradually builds up? Like thundering or rumbling sounds? ...Fabric being torn, angry winds? EXPLOSIONS! ...
I'm not sure if editting actual existing footage is plausible but I'm sure there's tons of destructive stuff on youtube if that's okay. Lots of red will do the trick if not, just for symbolism or something? :9
Unfortunately, editing existing footage isn't really an option, as we've been told to only use material we either own the rights to or is in the public domain. But the usage of red is a valid idea. I've actually been thinking of including a red lightsource in the space.
Like...the ones a train makes while stopping, that sort of metallic screechy sound I think I recall hearing sometimes... Althought I'm not sure I personally assosiate that with anger, it might work with other "angry" noises?
Oh, and how about scraping a blackboard?
Violent actions...
tearing things, like paper, and throwing the pieces away. Or sweeping things from a table.
Ouch, my eyes x_x
And sharp footsteps, too, like your trying to puch your heels through the floor. Your doing it correctly if your
family tries to hide when they hear you comingheels actually hurt when they hit the ground. *g* Same with other actions: you don't need to break anything, just wrench doors open, slam something on a table etc.
