Week 9

For project 2, we will need to do narration and sound effects for a story. It was quite hard to get a story that I'm interested and I discussed with my friends and see if they have a website to introduce. On my friend says that we can even use video from YouTube since seniors did that too. So, I started to hunt for a good story with good graphics on YouTube. Finally, I found a monkey king story (Chinese Mythology) which I really like since I was young. The video was from TED and I decided to use it for his project. Below is the video: 



Week 10

After showing the story source that we found to Mr.Razif, we can start the project. As we didn't know we can import our video in Adobe Audition, I plan to edit all the sound effects on Adobe Audition then export them one by one and compile all the sound in Adobe Premiere Pro.


First, I get all the sound effects and soundtrack that I need from Freesound (https://freesound.org/) and YouTube. Then I import them in Adobe Audition and edit the sound one by one. Below is my progression:

Fg.1.0 Sound effects editing

After edit all the sound effects, I compile them with the video in Adobe premiere pro. Below is my first draft.


Then I realize the sound is too low, I increase the sound and come out with the second draft.


After that, I started to edit the narration since I need some dialogue and the original video doesn't have one. I also need to beware of the timing since I'm adding dialogue. Below is the script that I edit and the dialogue that I add on.

Then, I started to record the narration and dialogue by using my phone (Oppo F5) and edit them on Adobe Audition. I need to remove the reverb and try to lower down the noise as much as I can. Also for the character dialogue, Monkey King, Old woman, and God, I need to play with pitch shifter and even echo. 

Fg.1.1 Narration and Dialogue sound editing

And finally, I come out with my third draft which having narration and dialogue.


Week 11

This week weekend is going to be the submission date for this project. Even though, we have our last consultation. After Mr.Razif listens to my work, he says that I need to beware of the sound of the soundtrack, sound effects, and narration. My narration sound is ok but the sound of sound effects and soundtrack is too low. If people had a bad device they will not able to hear them. In this case, I need to balance the sounds. Then, I edited the sound level based on the feedback given and come out the final version:


I feel this project is really interesting but we got limited time, so it was really challenging!

Major Project

  Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Major Project INSTRUCTION Week 1 For the first class of Major Project, we were given a short brief by Mr. Asrizal in the class. It was the first time we can all sit in class together after so long since the pandemic. We went through the MIB and we were told that we can conduct the project in 3 ways. The first is to continue with our dissertation topic, the second is to get a client and the last is to make something with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.  After the instruction, Mr.Asrizal showed us some seniors' work to give us some ideas. Someone designed a font for Pasar Raya, someone illustrated her own Tarot card, and someone designed a series of collateral. We will need to propose our ideas to Mr. Asrizal in the next class and we started to brainstorm our idea until the class ended. Week 2 This week, the class was separated according to the 4 specializations. The animation group started for the first and we propose our ideas to Mr. A...

Sonic Design Final Project

Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Sonic Design Final Project  INSTRUCTION Week 12 In the final project, it is different from what we did before. Before this, we normally use the free stocks sound effect to conduct our exercises. But this time we will need to record our own sound effects. We were given a variety of videos to choose from. Also, an audio storyboard was prepared by Mr.Razif. The reason to have an audio storyboard is that if we are going to record sound in a studio, we need to save time as it is not cheap. We need to get ready for all the materials and know what sound we need to create. Audio storyboard and video provided by Mr. Razif: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4qFCRRLg21uaVVfNTFsMGsyMU0?resourcekey=0-aaijjah6ADp53WbCOfaCsg&usp=sharing Other than sound effects, we were required to create simple background music and some narration if needed. In this case, our classmate Avery Ong was invited to give us a talk about piano.    The tone for different...

Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Professional Development Week Introduction As this is our final semester and we will be graduating very soon, we were asked to learn different knowledge from the people working in the industry and make a report. Hence, we were assigned to take part in the Professional Development Week. Professional Development Week is on week 8 of this semester, and there are many types of workshops provided. In this case, we will need to attend at least 6 workshops which is a total of 6 learning hours. Some workshops were compulsory as it was selected by our Program Director but for the rest, we can choose for ourselves. Below are the workshops that I took part in: Tuesday, May 17 For me personally, I enjoyed the “Financial Literacy for Fresh Graduates" workshop by Mr. Fairuz Izman from MAYBANK the most. The way he presented was really interesting and made me feel like I want to listen more from him as he was sharing his own story as an example. From this workshop, I ...
