Man in the library sound editing

In lesson we all had the same silent film about a man in a library who's trying to read but gets distracted by the sound made by the 3 people and a ticking clock. Once we've seen the short film Tobie sent us out in groups of 4 with a recording device and recorded sounds related to the sound that would be made in the library.

First location was the library where we just recorded the sound of the library which were people talking quietly and people using the computer, tapping on the keyboard.

The next location had to be somewhere quite just so we could make the sound without getting anything in the background. My group went to Hive B to recored but the other groups kept coming into the classroom so we only got one recording. We ended up moving to the performing arts room to recored all of our sounds.

After spending enough time down there to record all our sounds we went back to our classroom where we each downloaded the sound on to our computers and I downloaded the my sounds into a file then got Premiere Pro up, got the film and sound onto it then saved it and put it in the same file with the sounds we recored.

I started to measure and attach some of the sounds to part of the film that it should go to.

Today

I added more of the sounds to the film plus a background sound which was the recorded from the library.

I enjoy recorded the sound because it was fun trying to create a sound to sound like what we want it to sound.

I wouldn't say I haven completely enjoyed adding the sounds to the film, but it has be a bit hard trying to get the sounds at the right pace and right time as the people, who for say swallowing I found that bit hard to get at just the right time as the man/women swallowing.

The different between gain and volume is that gain is used on how loud the sounds on the film whereas the volume is how loud the person turns it up the film to make it louder.

The reason we need balance audio is important because if it's too loud then it won't sound right, so you need it at a certain level so that it'll sound clear and right.

Christmas cartoon

Sainsbury Mog advert

It's all real people except the cat which i think was a bit animated but might have be real in the shooting of the advert then changed into the animation to make it better, Plus the dream were good. I do think thought that its a bit unrealised mostly the whole neighbours coming over to the family's house and the cat starting the fire, I would say they went  bit over the top but at the end it was a good christmas advert; But I didn't really get what it had to do with Sainsbury it didn't show the shop, their food/drink nor prices.

Walt Disney "Santa's Workshop"

The silly symphony "Santa Workshop" is an old cartoon so in it, it has scenes where it would repeat itself over and over again. It was all hand drawn and had colour along with it instead of it being in black and white which makes it better because it christmas so it very colourful since it being in a toy factory and Santa Claus big red suit. It also had singing which to me shows that its a old film because of the type of music. For it being made in the 1930's I would say that Walt Disney did a really good cartoon animation. Another thing was Santa Claus who only spoke at the beginning mostly laugh the same laugh so that was a repeat as well. Another thing is Santa's glove are like Micky Mouse's hands.

Silly Symphony Part 2 The night before christmas

This is kind of a part 2 to where santa is delivering the present to the house. I like how the objects sound and voices go well with the background music. Their was also toy of Micky Mouse which is what Walt Disney was famous for, Again it a nice, sweet little film and the music was really nice. The bit where all the toys started to to come along to the tree was nice and another was the candle when it was glowing you could tell it was and so was the tree. I also notices that all the children were all the same just different hair length and colour except for the small boy which I think was a bit different to the rest. Again in this one Santa didn't talk but laugh and play the trumpet and piano.

Santa Claus is coming

I really did not like that one it was was not christmasy and should not be shown to small children. It was horrible, it kind of made me sad and something I would never want to see again. It was done by flash, the colouring was dark and gloomy so made it more less like christmas the drawing of the character were good (even thought I didn't like it) I would say that the person who made this should put his talent to good use and make a happier christmas.

Christmas comes but once a year

This was a bit different from the disney film, the ending was what i think was different was the tree because it looked when the scene went darker. It was kind of the same as the silly symphony with al the children looking the same except for the last one that looked liked a baby. What was different from the silly symphony was the voices because their was more different talking and not all the same except the singing, man laughing and the crying they were was more voices. I guess it did look a bit different from the Silly Symphony because it was darker then Silly Symphony but it didn't repeat itself so much as the Silly Symphony did.

Christmas tree

Well for a start this even thought it had instructions I found difficult getting the pine needle exactly like the one from the web.

This is my result of the christmas tree, I did try to remake the needle pine again and again but it all came out the same so when I did the tree and tried to make the the brush again and still nothing change so I left it how it was.

My christmas card design result

This is the my final design of my christmas card and from what i think i think i did a good job for it being my first time but I would say i've not done a bad job at it. My one downer was the snow on the sea, wasn't how I imaged it to look like but it was the nears thing so if could have been done again, I would try and figure a way to get the snow looking more like snow.

Inside the message is Have a magically Christmas and an amazing new year'.

This card i would say would soemthing that females between 30-55 and men aged between 50-65. I think people who like the sea and maybe more of a nighttime person would like this more.

I would probley market my card from a tourist shop, because i think it would make a good card for someone who here on holiday and something they would pick up to keep maybe or you know to give to someone.

Candy

In this lesson we learn how to create this.

We started by getting a new page up using 100 pixels for both width and hight, Once that was up we dragged the ruler into the middle of the page. With that we used shapes to get a rectangle and drew it in the middle. Then instead of making two more we pressed alt button and moved them to each side; Once that was done I moved the side rectangle more at the side to give the gaps more space.

The next bit was we made a new page where we used the Text tool and wrote Candy in a white, pink, red colour. Next we used the paint bucket and changed it to pattern so when we pressed it onto the page all the stripes were on top of Candy; Next was the Create Clipper Mask which made the stripes disappear into the background and leaves the stripes on the candy along with the pink, white, red colour


Once that was done we went and used fx Tool on the right bottom bit where we used stroke which gave the outer word a bright colour line,  Next was the Drop Shadow with gave us the green glow.

Lastly we used Bevel & Emboss which made the word bolder and comes out at you which makes it look better.

Christmas card plan

This is a small christmas design I made. These are the layers of each bit I did to get to the last one.It just a little play around which I made into a moon which I'll be using in my actual card.

This is the start of my design for my cards, still got a bit more to go.

Moving animation

This is the animation of a ball getting dropped then bounces. What I was drew circles coming down a bit at a time so it would look better when fall and bouncing. At the end we had to make the ball do something at the end my was meant to be blood squirting out but it looks more like maybe legs or ears. For a first try I would say i've done o, Just maybe

Guitarist interview

Interviewing Guitarist 

Todays lesson we edited a interview video recorded from 5 shots. (Close up, Over shoulder, Wide shot, unusual shot and a interview shot). Now when that was happening I was ill so I wasn't really sure what we were doing but Tobie explained it to me and gave me a sheet with what each shot was. At the end I got my video edited and finish. I've now exported and is now download onto Youtube plus theres a link on Facebook. It was a bit tricky getting the sound the same as the video but I think I did good.

I enjoyed also watching the others video, some were quite funny and loud,  some were very good.

I think for mine if I were to do it again I would have done it differently by having the interview sound playing whilst different shots of Tobie playing the guitar.
