Fig. 3.2 / Sound Elements, Week 3 (04.11.2022)

Speech
Speech is one of the most important tools for understanding the story of the film. 
  • Dialogue
    Conversation between characters in the movie.
  • Voice over
    The voice of an unseen narrator speaking.
Sound Effects
  • Ambience
    Audio refers to the background noise present at a given scene or a location.
  • Hard or "cut" effects
    Almost every sound we hear at the movies that aren't dialogue or music is a sound effect. Train sliding door open and close, footsteps, train moving on tracks, the ambience in the train etc.
Music
to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact.

Dubbing (tutorial)
Or automated Dialog Replacement (ADR), is the process of re-recording dialogue after the filming process to improve audio quality or reflect dialogue changes

A sound effects technique for synchronous effects or live effects. The Foley technique is named for Jack Foley, a sound editor at Universal Studios


Exercise
In this project, we need to do an audio editing exercise. Mr Martin gives us a muted video clip and a script from Soul Movie.

Feedback

Week 7 / 05.09.2022
  • (Sound) You can add ambient sound at the beginning. The traffic sound effect is quite distracting, once enough.


REFLECTION

It turned out that after I followed the module this time, the audio editing exercise turned out to be quite fun. It's not easy to imagine sounds like never before, but once you're done, the results are delightful. I can channel my creativity in this audio editing exercise. We learn to use Adobe Audition. It's not as easy as I imagined but it's quite fun and very useful for me if I want to focus on animation in the future.
