Tony's Week Projects- Week One

Project Audio~ Dear Alice

Introduction:

For this week we had to choose a video of our choice, preferably one with bad audio and create new audio for it, I wrote this on my week by week page under the heading 'Dear Alice'. This is my long post about my progress and how I made my sound. 
I chose Dear Alice as my video choice because I felt like the original audio didn't match up at times with the video, though the audio wasn't exactly bad I just thought I could fix some of the non-matching sounds, like the drawing sync-ing and add more detail to the bus sounds and paper movements by layering more noise and making the sound perception better to how the camera was angled at the scene. 

Recording My Own Sounds:

I used Adobe Audition to create a lot of my own sounds to make the project a bit more challenging I made as many as the sounds as I could. I recorded in SpringBoard TV's Sound booth the sounds straight onto Audition making a multi-track for them. In the picture, you can see all the sound recordings on the multi-track board. 
As you can see in the pictures I added the video when I recorded my sounds so I could get the right movements and sound patterns so they would match up better with the video. It also made it easier to see what other sounds were needed and things I didn't think about in the planning. 

Starting to build the sound:

After recording my sound I got some of the sounds that I couldn't record myself off of Tony's hard-drive, like the bus sounds and footsteps est. Then I made a new multi-track to start building up the final soundtrack for the video. I decided to go with the bigger sounds or the most important sounds. So I put in the repeated overlay of the bus sound. Even though the bus stops within the video I did this as it would be easier to take out the bits I didn't need when I edit that part in detail. 


I labelled the tracks to keep them in order, as this made it simpler to see what tracks are what. 
 Overall, the project went well I think if I worked the audio for the little sounds and detail it more I think I would be able to create a realistic sounding audio track for this project.


Note: the video here isn't as finished and fine-tuned as I would have liked but since I am now moving on into next two-week project I am finished with how it looks. I am happy with the outcome but I would have liked to fiddle around with some more and current sounds within the piece.

Tony's Week Projects- Week Two- Three

Introduction: This week Tony has asked us to plan an opening and closing for a thriller based in Kings Lynn. I plan to research and look at the popular fonts and graphics used in thrillers and find a common theme, I also plan to look at the demographics within Kings Lynn and find the target audience for thrillers as it most likely views by those people as it is filmed in their area. I noticed a common two themes in thriller fonts and graphics. The first two photos below show the first theme I will talk about both of these thriller films use fonts that add extra detailing to the ends of letters and lowers letters like 'j'. The second example of thriller fonts is a bold and simplistic font like below. Using bold and oversimplified fonts to give a strong look to the overall look of the other media. Looking at these two font themes I feel like the font I will be going with for this project will be the first one because I feel like it is more effective for...

Summer Project 2018- Camp Rock Opening in Sims 4

Introduction: For this summer we had to create one of our favourite scenes from any film, I decided to go with the opening scene from the original Camp Rock. This is one of the most memorable films within my childhood specifically in the summer as my sister and I when we were younger and sometimes even now when we are together, watch the film and its sequel. The reason why I chose the opening scene of the first is that I use to be such a morning person and I use to relate to this scene a lot about enjoying waking up for the last day before the summer break. I wanted to make a different twist to the scene and create it through my editing, so I decided that I was going to use the game ‘The Sims4’ to make it more challenging to create the same emotion and feeling of the scene. This made me focus on the editing part of the project as it meant that the editing was what held the whole thing together. Directors: The director, Matthew Diamond, was born on 26 th  November 1951...

SUMMER!

What is going on this summer with me online? So this summer I want to make the most of everything and make my online presence more active so I am going to come up with some schedules for me to be more online.  I am not   going to be uploading videos, for a valid reason.  I am currently without editing software. The videos on the second channel will continue around when my first project drops... will be doing a video around September on my main channel explaining what that means :D. (If you don't know what that meant I have two YouTube channels go check them out I guess but leave a comment on how you got here without knowing that because I am curious... :P) My Schedule-  This will be updated over the summer and everything when I come up with the finished but it probably will be at the side of the page... Wattpad writing- Monday- updates when needed Wednesday- original stories Friday- Fanfiction (nothing bad just writing stories about real-life people)...
