Midterm FInal

 Description:
In this sound track, the most interesting part is creating a spacious and isolated space, and a mysterious creature is getting out from the eggshell and exist in this space. Base on the sound effect and the sound source, the breathing and heart beating sound of the creature is shown in the first part and second part of the audio track. In the first part, this mysterious creature is just coming out of "womb", the hard beating and sound of break eggshell would give audience enough information of the environment and the creature. And the other sound source is representing the ritual practice of the birth. In the second part, this creature getting acclimatized to its new surroundings.

 Self-critique:

As the audience could heard in the first part of the sound track, there is some awkward silence in the high frequency vibrato sound. I was cutting the audio track by mistake and I can not find the original sound track. And there is some noises in the background after I added the reverb sound effect into the sound track. It could be better if I could find a perfect balance while adjusting the sound effect.The meaning of the second environment is unclear. The audience can not perceive that there are two different sound environment in the sound track. If there is a clear transition that separate the first environment and second environment, it would be much more clear. The mixing part is ok, but there is still a lot room for the low frequency sound. In general, the first part of the audio track have better quality than the second part. For the sound effect, the EQ setting is little off for me. And there is too much reverb sound effect in the track.

Sound Final Project

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_fE-ipXrV5bRF9JZENoazlaNEU/view?usp=sharing My final project is a sound post production of a film that I made during the last winter break. The length of the film is 12 minutes and 30 seconds, and I picked 4 scenes from the original film for this project. On the film set, the environment is noisy and full of hubbub of voices. For my final project, I am thinking recreate the sound space of my film and make a clean sound track that could give audience enough information about the environment that surrounding my actors. Also, I am planing make a sound effect that could connect each scenes together and construct an emotion tone for my film.For instance, the story took place in two time line, I was hoping that I could make a sound effect that symbolized the flash back scene of the film and help audience get a better understanding of the story. The weakest part of my project is the mixing. The recording from the set is around -32 to - 16 db. After I try...

Artist Presentation

Sound Designer: Tamás Zányi Son of Saul (4:39-7-30) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsmxMCuObSc&t=4396s Interview Designer Tamás Zányi, Son of Saul -  December 3, 2015 By Jennifer WaldenSound "According to Zányi, nearly 80% of the film’s sound was created during postproduction." "(László)  Nemes (who is the the director of the film) wanted the sounds and noises of the labor camp to be constantly heard." " Then, he expanded the sound space by   adding human voices and sound effect layers that had no visual match. For example, near the start of the film, Saul is cleaning in the crematorium. Using production sound as the base, Zányi enhanced the scrubbing sounds, and then added voices to fill out the environment. He used panning and processing, including 5.1 surround reverb, to define the space on and off screen.  "

CAR 241 Recording Manipulations #1

https://soundcloud.com/xizhe-zhang/sets/car-recording-manipulations-1 Track 1 There is only one audio source in the sound track 1 which is the sound of a wooden ruler. For the high frequency sound in my track, I reverse the audio and change the speed of it. Then I cut off a small part of the audio from the original and change the pitch in Time and Pitch Machine. Track 2 There are two different audio sources in the sound track 2. One is come from a film camera, and another is come from a 35mm film. I cut these two and mix it together. I used automation for the sound from the film camera, but it did not make much difference. Tack 3 This sound track is a high frequency one. There are also two different audio sources in the sound track. One is the wooden ruler and another is the film camera. For this track, I was trying create a high frequency sound track by change the speed and pitch.
