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:

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 emotions was introduced during the talk. I was having panic when I heard we need to create BGM on our own because I never touch the music field. After Avery giving us the talk, I started to understand a little bit. At the end of the class, Mr.Razif keeps remind us that we are supposed to play around with it, if it sounds ok with the scene then it is correct, if it doesn't sound ok with the scene then it is wrong.

After that, I started to fill up my audio storyboard, and below is the one I filled up:


Week 13

This week I started to create the sound effects based on my audio storyboard. Before I started to record the sound, I gather all the material and props that I need. Below are some of the things that I need to create the sound that I want:

Fg.1.0 Paper

Fg.1.1 Piggy bank (dragon) and a box

Fg.1.2 My hand and legs

Fg.1.3 leather shoes

For the open drawer sound, I record the actual sound from opening my drawer. And the scene when he takes out the clothes, I record the actual sound when I was taking out my clothes too. After that, I started to edit the sounds that I recorded and put them in the video. Fg.1.4 shows my progression on Adobe Audition.

Fg.1.4 Progression on Adobe Audition

And below is my first draft (without BGM) for this project:


Week 14

This week, I have moved to the last step which is adding BGM, this is where my nightmare starts. It was really hard for me as I have 0 knowledge about music. I try to play with the piano on Bandlab (https://www.bandlab.com/mix-editor) and explore the sound for a really long time. I even went to ask my friends who know how to play piano. But they told me that knowing how to play piano and create music is a different thing. At last, I decided to just make some very simple sounds. 

My recorded sound effects and BGM:

After the recording, I started to add the BGM and piano sound to my video. Below is my final outcome:

  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...

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 ...
