Instructions


Exercise 1: Sound Dubbing

We were given a muted clip from the movie 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' and we are required to sync our self-recorded dialogue and sound effects to make the sound design of this clip our own. I had to look at the original scene to understand what was going on before I went to look for suitable sound effects online. I used sound effects from the website freesound.org. I inserted the clip and the sound effects I found into Adobe Premiere Pro and played with the settings until I got the audio I want.


I followed the breakdown spreadsheet that we were required to do to sync up the sound effects with certain parts of the clip. I made it sync up as close as possible, enough that there's no obvious delay between the audio and the clip.
 

I inserted my recorded lines that were recorded with my phone using an earphone microphone for better audio. I used the pitch shifter to my advantage to change my voice to sound higher or deeper for the appropriate character I was dubbing over. I also added some ambience audio that would sound appropriate for this clip, and adjusted the settings so that it would not sound louder than the dialogue.

Final Exercise 1


Exercise 2: Sound Shaping

For this exercise we were required to shape our audio with an equalizer in Adobe Audition. We needed to shape our audio into sounding like we are in a phone call, in a closet, in a bathroom, in a cave, and sound like alien or orc.


The equalizer plays a big part in sound shaping so it was down to us to experiment with it so that we know how it works.


Final Exercise 2

Phone call

In a closet

In a bathroom

In a cave

Orc/Alien

Reflection

This was an interesting project as we were given the opportunity to play around with the sound using our own recorded audio. It was interesting to learn how to use Adobe Audition since it looked very complicated at first glance, but you will know how to use it after some practice. These tasks were quite easy to do if you know how you want your audio to sound like. The tutorials given to us were definitely helpful and because of those I was able to get these done quickly.

Week 1 - 6 SUNG J XIN/ 0370139/ Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media GCD60904 Interactive Design Project 1 Instructions Submission Presentation Design Evaluation From the homepag e, it can be determined that the website’s representative colours are red, black and white. These colours contrast with each other nicely and makes the important information stand out clearly. The colours could be applied differently to make the website look more visually pleasing to the eye. The fonts used in this website are Arial and Helvetica. These fonts make the contents of the pages look easy to read without looking too cluttered. However, In some pages, the font used is Cormorant Garamond, which looks very different from Arial and Helvetica , so there is a dip in consistentency in its font choices. The same can be said about the branding or logo, which has 3 different fonts that don’t match with each other at all. User Experience (UX) When a user wants to go to any of the tabs such as ...

A topic came to mind about minimal illustrations because I had been looking at some minimal designs prior to the start of the semester, so I decided to base my topic around it. It was a bit difficult to think of the research questions and research objectives that aren’t too basic and easy to answer. I came up with some and received feedback from Miss Jinchi to improve the research questions and research objectives to make them more interesting. I wrote down the problem statement using paraphrased sentences from existing sources and shortened it more to make it mo...

Week 1 - 7 SUNG J XIN/ 0370139/ Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media GCD 60504 Information Design Exercises Instructions Exercises Exercise 1 - Quantifiable Information I have a packet of colorful cotton balls that I could use for this exercise. There were too many so I picked out a usable amount that still has some variety in colors.  Fig. 1, unsorted cotton balls Then I arranged them by color in a swirly pattern and counted how many of each colored cotton ball there is. Final Composition Fig. 2, final composition with cotton balls Exercise 2 - L.A.T.C.H Infographic Poster For this exercise, we needed to organise a group of information that combines and utilised at least 4 of the L.A.T.C.H principles. I have decided to choose sharks as my topic and listed out the L.A.T.C.H principles I will be using, which will be; L (Location) = The Mediterranean Sea A (Alphabet) = Shark Names by Alphabet C (Category) = Species of Sharks H (Hierarchy) = Apex Predators, Mid-Level Predators,...
