Foley evaluation

Over the past weeks we have worked on Foley with the psycho shower scene. This most recent lesson we had our production and have been assigned to evaluate it. Throughout the overall task I fell I have struggled in some areas as some things such as adobe premier pro software is new to me. Besides this I felt that I could be very helpful when considering the certain sounds to use. Concerning the sound effects used in the production most of them worked well with the video. For example sound effects such as the door closing and the scream seemed on point and the sound was decent. However sounds like the shower and the footsteps could've been made more realistic. If I was to do things differently I would record more sounds so that I could pinpoint the best sound for the specific action. I think I was able to make strong suggestions and ideas when it came to editing but I still have not had the opportunity to use the software without others. There was many challenges when we were editing such as the audio clips kept moving and being on point with the timing was difficult. I would have liked to have more than 1 audio clip playing at the same time but I didn't know how. I think that we were able to control the sync and the volume balance as one sound would not dominate over everything else. In addition we used some found content and used it as music to add and eerie tone. However I don't think we focused on EQ or effects so that would be something to improve on.


Some feedback given:
- Good use of music
-Clever way of using water noises
- Could use more sounds
- Good editing
- Needs a stabbing sound

For this you first need to find the best location so that it can be engaging and interesting instead of a plain background. Also when considering locations you want to find an area where there is minimum distractions so there are no interruptions. To reduce distractions and interruptions when listening to the person you are interviewing it is best to nod because there is no audio interference and it shows to the person you are interested motivating them to continue on giving information. It is also good to keep the person comfortable because you will be able to get a good amount of information otherwise they could be straight to the point and may not elaborate. To do this you must be able to keep eye contact with the interviewee and make sure they are not looking at the camera. When it comes to more technical side of this ...

College TV

Date: 31/10/17 Today I worked on ideas about college TV this had to based about news with the theme of new years. So for this I have successfully made 3 ideas/ mind maps for this. The first idea consisted of reflection as so much has happened in the past year. This links to the idea of new years as it links to the past and reflecting on what we have done. In this I mentioned how some things should be presented and deeper meanings within simple aspects. For the second idea it involved change this idea occurred as many people make new years resolutions to try and follow. This showed more of an idea of mystery as we do not know what is to come. The final idea was about being festive this is because it involved more of a cultural and diverse look on how people celebrate and it allows the audience to interpret the piece how they want to. I think that the main problem was being able to continuously create unique ideas as I had only though of 1 originally. I was able to ...
