D1: Evaluate

Image
- Evaluate feedback From the survey I sent to my peers, I gained a collection of qualitative and quantitative feedback with detailed responses on how I can improve my sound. Adobe Podcast: One main suggestion was the quality of the voice over where I was tasked with making the audio clearer and higher quality. If I was to run my file through Adobe Podcast, it would allow my audio to sound higher quality and more professional. I did this by putting my voice over through Adobe's AI speech enhancer, which helps to remove unwanted background noise, such as speaking or other sounds, and ensures the recording sounds like they have been done in a studio setting. Furthermore, the feedback from the survey was constructive and allowed me to make positive changes to my own work and allowed me to learn new tools, which i can use in future pieces of work. One major thing I was pleased about from the feedback was that overall every viewer enjoyed the sound with the animation, which was ideal as ...

M2: Produce the soundtrack to a group

Image
Once I created the sound for my animation I exported the animation with sound as an MP4 file and uploaded it as an unlisted video to Youtube. I then created a survey to gather feedback from a group of people. I asked the group to keep their feedback specific to the sound. It helped because the group were other media students and teachers, with experience in the same software and tools. They will provide feedback on target audience, tools used, suitability and how I could improve viewing experience.  Overall, the feedback I gathered was positive, with some adjustments I could make to make the viewing experience more pleasurable. This is important as it ensures the sound is suitable to the target audience. The feedback mentions specifics such as foley sounds, atmospheric sounds and how they fulfilled their purpose. The audience felt the voice overs were clear and good quality, which is important because the voice overs guide the viewers through the animation.  Even though the fe...

P5: Record the soundtrack

Image
In this blog post, I will discuss my recording process, including equipment used, software, and props used to create my sounds. I recorded my sounds using the shotgun microphone with a pop filter to block out wind or other noises affecting my audio. I screwed it onto a shelf above me and hung it down, so that the microphone was stable and so that it was a suitable distance away  I recorded all of the sounds in the equipment cupboard, as it was a small room resulting in minimum echo bc the sound would be absorbed by the carpets and other fabric materials in there, and I could lock the doors meaning no one could disturb me. The narration of the planets is OK quality however it could be improved by enhancing the audio using tools available, or by re-recording.  Although the quality of this recording is decent, it could benefit from additional enhancements, such as eliminating background noise using Adobe Podcast. This can also be achieved through post-production techniques. Addit...
