INTRODUCTION



Module Information Booklet (MIB)

For Project 1. we were required to find sound effects from Youtube and record voice overs for the characters in the video provided by Mr. Martin for the dubbing exercise.

Chosen clips from 'Munich' 2005



PROJECT 1: AUDIO DUBBING

1. Excel Sheet Compilation

For the first part of the project, we were required to create an excel sheet to put in all the sound effect links into the sheet to ensure that we don't get the sound effects downloaded to be lost in the sea of other files in our laptop.

2. Video Dubbing

The video dubbing will be done in Adobe Premiere Pro, unfortunately, for the voice over I was only able to record the voices straight from the premiere pro voice over features since the microphone on my phone does not work, despite a lot of times recording and trying to export it into my laptop.

REFLECTION


Experience:

I've always been using the Premiere Pro software casually, only using it to create video sequence. Learning to use the tools available in the Premiere Pro was really an eye-opening for me, as I am not as exposed to the software as much as others. Fortunately,  I was able to create a much more manageable files and where to locate videos or sound recordings by organizing them in specific folders (I learned my lesson from the last semester).

Observation:

Throughout Project 1, I realized how much I lack in terms of video editing skills, it took my quite a long time to go through this project because It took me a long time to get used to the editing process. I realized that I was holding off a lot of work due to feeling overwhelmed with the somewhat difficult process that I had to overcome. However, lack of skills gives more the reason for me to experiment and give the video editing a try despite of how complex some features of the software could be. Throughout the project, I realized that I was gradually getting the hang of the software.  

Findings:

I have come to realize that video dubbing requires great attention to detail, such as putting subtle noises in between videos that could change the course of the atmosphere. Furthermore, video dubbing requires a lot of effort and time management, this trait also applies to all the other design modules I'm taking for this semester.
