PROJECT 1  - Exercise 1 Audio Dubbing

We have to record the dialogue in the one and a half minute video that Mr. Martin provided us.

To find the pertinent sound effects online, we must first create a spreadsheet listing the sound effects that are required at each stage. 

I looked for sound effects on https://freesound.org/ and downloaded them to utilise in my video.

This is my spreadsheet i done for this video .

After that , i proceed to editing the video , to get better at this task, I also went and got the original video and watched it, then started adding my own audio to it.

PROJECT 1 - Exercise 2 Sound Shaping

In this exercise, we need to record an audio clip ourselves and then use Adobe Audition to make adjustments to simulate the following five sound effects:

1. Voice of phone call.
2. Voice coming from inside of closet.
3. Voice of toilet/bathroom.
4. Underground cave.
5. Alien/ Orc voice

REFLECTIONS

Exercise 1 is interesting, but I have trouble finding sound effects. Sometimes, things I take for granted, like tapping on a window, turn out to be difficult to locate. It could be the result of employing the incorrect terms or not doing a comprehensive enough search.

When using Audition for the first time, the sheer number of features can be daunting. Luckily, Exercise 2 is rather simple and only requires a small number of characteristics. But sometimes, I find it difficult to distinguish the minute variations in fine-tuning, which leaves me a little confused.
