LECTURE 6
05/10/2018
Today, we were taught on Adobe Audition. After the first try of using the software, I think I have to buy a better headphone because the bass sound is not very clear. After that, Mr Martin briefed us project 2 and we also watched some videos for video act analyzing exercise.


Nature of sound 
  • the sound is actually a vibration if air molecules that stimulate our eardrums
  • production: sound source
  • prorogation: the wave the sound travel
  • perception: pitch, volume, loudness
Wavelength 
  • affects the pitch of the sound
  • the shorter the wavelength, the louder the sound
Amplitude
  • important for balancing and controlling the loudness of the sound
Frequency (Hz)
  • the speed of the vibration
  • more frequency in one second, higher pitch
Perceived duration 
  • how do you tell the speed of the speec
Envelope 
  • the main kind of the sound
  • represents the varying level of sound wave over the time
Spatialization
  • a representative of sound in space
  • example:1. a person is near to the camera, sound loud
                   2. a person is far from the camera, sound soft    



EXERCISES

Week 2
Today, we were given a task which is to edit a video filmed by our seniors. So, I followed the original video and do the trimming.

Week 4
Mr Martin said choosing 'Depression for my final project idea good. He also suggested choose a topic that we had experienced before. After that, we did an exercise on categorizing video into 3 acts. We were given 2 videos in this exercise.




3 Act Structure: Video analyzing form

After that, we did a shooting exercise with my partner Stephanie. We used DSLR to shoot 9 different angles, which are:
  1. Low Angle wide shot
  2. Low Angle MCU
  3. profile MS
  4. Close-Up shot
  5. Frontal MCU
  6. Over The Shoulder MCU shot
  7. Eye-Level MS
  8. Eye-Level MS
  9. Eye-Level Medium Wide Shot

Below are the outcomes of the 9 different shooting angles we did.


Low angle wide shot

Close-up shot

Over-the-shoulder MCU shot

Low angle MCU

Profile MS

Eye-level MS

Frontal MCU 

Eye-level medium wide shot

(I lost my all photograph due to laptop broke down and SD card is cleared, so all my photos are in the laptop. Thus, Stephanie and I reshot this exercise outside the campus.)



Week 6
Today, we got to learn about how to edit audio in Adobe Audition. After that we were given videos as a reference of how to create good story line.

Learning Audition (Sound editing)






Week 12
