INSTRUCTION

Project 1: Audio Dubbing

1. Record your voice following the dialogue provided
2. Place audio files on timeline, sync it with video
3. Audio track:
• 3 tracks for dialogue, one character one track
• 4 tracks for sound effect
• 3 tracks for ambience sound
4. Edit voice from female to male/male to female using pitch shifter
5. Volume: Dialogue (between -6 to -12 dB), ambience (below -20dB), hard sound effect (depend)

Before doing the editing, Mr. Martin told us to analyze the sound effect in the video and put write it, so we can easily put the sound effect into the video.  This was done in a group.

For the phone call, I applied the parametric equalizer effect, with the setting below:

For this sound effect, I used 3 different effects, there are:

1. Pitch Shifter (custom)
2. Studio Reverb
3. Flanger

3. Inside Closet

(Week 9)

I used effects, actually, it was good enough if I only used a scientific filter, but then I added the parametric filter and it sounds better to me.

(Week 9)

4. Cave

I used surround reverb with the hall setting because the sound inside a cave is similar to when we talk in an empty hall.  Here's the setting:

Exercises Week 10

Before entering the final project, Mr. Martin teaches us how to film stop motion.  We were divided into groups.  Each group has 1 hour to practice filming stop-motion animation.

The trial shoot allows students to experience shooting of clay stop-motion, and paper cut stop-motion. Each scene will be shot twice, once with a DSLR, once with smart phone.

Clay: The Cost of the Call 1st scene: 00:04-00:13 (Stop at 00:13 second, no need for lego background)

Paper cut: Adopt Don't Shop 2nd scene: 00:19-00:43

Before attempting to shoot, each group should prepare all of the material, including the figures, phone, and tripod.

REFLECTION

Experience

I really enjoyed working on this project because it allowed me to learn video editing and experience real shooting, just like in the movies.

Observation

Filming scenes requires discipline and precision since it involves many crew members. Especially when shooting a complex movie scene like those in (Everything Everywhere All At Once), everyone needs to know their specific roles to keep the shooting location conducive and efficient.

Findings

Every task in the shooting process is crucial, even those that seem minor, like directing the lighting. Each role significantly impacts the final result of the shoot.
