For our first project task, we were assigned to edit the audio dubbing and some sound effects , the video clip is from the Disney film "soul" with the characters Joe and the cat, Mr Mittens.

Firstly, I recorded the speech with using my own phone and with using the mic to make sure the voice is clear. The app I using is Voice Memos from the App store. Next, I downloaded the drive folder video clips and speech from google docs provided by Mr Martin.

After the first attempt, I realized there are few problems in the video, the empty part without audio seems slightly awkward in silence , so i tried to search some background music from soul and add them to fill it up the video become to set it as finalize video.

PROJECT 1 EXERCISE 3 - SOUND DESIGN:

Note :
- Time stretching / compression : Time Stretching/ compression changes the length of audio without altering its pitch.
- Pitch Shifting : Process of adjusting the pitch of an audio signal upwards or downwards, for both corrective (getting a vocal perfectly in tune, for example) and purely creative (changing the character of a drum loop, say) purposes.
- Reversing : The end of the audio will be heard first and the beginning last. Reverse audio changes the whole feeling and rhythm of the sound.
- Layering : Arranging several separate sounds together, in such a way the overall effect is of a single complete sound.
Sound Design Task:
-Magnification Explosion Sound
-Variation of Punch Sounds / Triple Punch
-Monster or Alien Voice
During week 10, I realized there's an additional task for sound design, so I began look at the slides and link provided by Mr Martin and begin with the sound design. There's are quite amount of tutorial to look at by during sound design task, i decided to use Adobe PR to edit the sound as I more familiar with PR.

REFLECTION
The progress is slightly complicated at first, there's no specific tutorial for us in this project only the sample from seniors and short briefing of this task, so it kinda make us no clue where to start and how to do it. But I guess it is quite common as a design student, we have to solve the problem out by ourselves. The solutions that I figured it out was planning which want to do first then solve it out. Firstly, I try to search for some tutorials video from youtube that I found out its easy to understand after that the steps are getting cleared not like at first. Moving on to the editing parts, I have learned few new skills like fixing the audio and edit them in different pitch. It was quite hard and challenging to make it looked "natural" voice to the characters.
