Exploring Audio Production and Technology

Evaluation

The sound I used in the film diegetic and non-diegetic sound. I used the Foley Artist of footsteps. I got the sound from recording. I also got the music from the internet. I used the sounds to go for the horror images, like footsteps and growling. The music gives an entertainment feeling like joyful and lively. The skills i learn was converting the music from the internet as mp3 and editing the sound on PremierPro. I find the exporting the video a bit difficult but I got some help to set up the video to upload it on YouTube. In the future I am confident to it on my own.

The purpose of the video was Foley Artist and Diegetic Sound. The different ways I got my sounds for my video that I upload the sound from files and download the music from YouTube by using the converter. The skills I have learned are converting music from the internet, video editing and sound recording. The equipment I use to record my voice was the sound recorder, I talk about myself similar like from the previous unit- the diversity, I then uploaded on the files and added to PremierPro. I edit the sound to make my voice moderate high, the music on the background was softer, I made it lower so the audience will hear my voice. I research about diegetic and non-diegetic sound gives me the information about the different sound. For example, diegetic sound is a source visible on screen, voices of characters, music represented and sound of objects in the film. Non-diegetic is source that is not present in the narrative universe. It creates mood music, no dialogue of characters, dramatic effects and narrator’s commentary. I went on creativeskillset to research about Foley Artist of what skills they produce the sound on the films. On PremierPro the other skill I have learn was Ken Burns effects to move the images, also I insert my own Foley Artist on the video.  This is the way I like it because it’s very effective and entertaining.  

Ken Burns Effects

I learnt how to do Ken Burns effects on Premier Pro. I learn how to move the images, clicking on motion, then playing around with the circles to set the position. After that, I inset my favorite music and voiceover. However, my voice seems to be a bit low, I manage to make my voice higher by dragging the line down. Also I make the music little bit lower so the audience can hear my voice. The effects are my new skills, I found it bit hard but was fun at the end.

Self-Portrait

I went to the Studio to take pictures of myself. I use Studio Flash,  the camera was set to manual and then take a picture with a white background. After that, I upload the image on Photoshop, before I start editing  I search the image on Google related to my life or something that I am passion of. The image I am passion of is games. I save it on desktop and then upload it selecting Place Embbedded and blend the color to Screen. I prefer in color than black & white because it’s much brighter and suits my personality. I found the tutorial a bit complicated because it was my first time learning new technique, however it is fun blending the color and taking shots of myself. The technique is one of my strengths for photography, also I am capable of using Photoshop tools such as color blending and filter.
