     INSTRUCTIONS 









     PROJECT 01 

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Video clips and a selection of sounds clip will be provided to us to create sounds effect that enhance the visual element of the videos. We will need to identify which visual components require sounds and choose a scenario to develop its soundscape. We have to be careful on selecting and incorporating appropriate sounds, we have to bring our chosen video scenario to life.

    SUBMISSIONS

    We need to upload the final outcome to YouTube and put the link into the google slide that provided by our tutor. We were also required to insert the google spreadsheet for the audio breakdown of this project into the slide.

     Process 

    In the beginning of this project, we need to download the materials in the audio dubbing folder provided by our tutor, which include the google spreadsheet for us to the audio breakdown and the video clips to which we will need to add audio later on.

    In the week 4 practical class, our tutor arranged us into a few groups and asked us to do the audio breakdown together with our group mates. We then discussed and completed the Google Spreadsheet in class.

    After completing the audio breakdown, I started to record audio clips with my phone. While recording, I tried to ensure that each line matched the emotions of the given video clips.

    Then, I started to import the video clips and audio that I had recorded into Adobe Premiere Pro and began to edit it. I started by syncing the audio with the respective dialogue.

     ASYNCHRONOUS CLASS MATERIAL & QUIZ 

    [ WEEK 03 ASYNCHRONOUS CLASS MATERIAL ]

    Storytelling in filmmaking is a crucial pre-production tool provides a visual preferences of a film, animation or video game. Similar to a comic strip, it consists of a series of illustrations or images displayed in sequence, helping to pre-visualise a motion picture, animation, motion graphics or interactive media sequence.

    These storyboard are essential for planning shots, understanding narrative flow, and communicating ideas to the production team. They often include details such as camera angles, characters movement, dialogue and notes on special effects or sounds, aiding the director, cinematographer and crew in visualising scenes and preparing for the shooting process.

    By experimenting with different visual approaches through storyboarding, filmmakers can identify potential issues and make adjustments before filming begins, This process helps to save time and resources, ensuring a smoother and more efficient production phase.

    [ WEEK 04 ASYNCHRONOUS CLASS MATERIAL ]

    Filmmaking involves 3 main phases, pre-production, production and post-production. In pre-production, the planning stage, tasks include writing the script, creating storyboards, casting actors, scouting locations and hiring crew members. This phase sets the foundation for the film by organising all necessary preparations before filming begins.

    The production phase is where the actual filming occurs. The production team captures all the required footage, guided by the plans from pre-production. This stage is often logistically complex, involving coordination of a large team and adherence to a detailed schedule.

    Post-production is where the captured footage is edited and assembled into the final film. This include cutting and arranging scenes, adding music and sound effects, colour grading and incorporating visual effects. Post-production demands meticulous attention to detail to ensure the film is polished and ready for distribution and marketing, which occur after the production process.
