Video and Sound Production
Task 1
LECTURES

Week 1:
For our first class we went through some slides detailing what our module would be about and what the projects are going to be in the future. We were also told what equipment to get for our first

Week 2:
We were introduced to the concept of different shots, framing and storyboarding such as Medium Shots or Close-up Shots. We watched several videos about the different ways to shoot a video and he asked us what type of shots were being used. Then we learnt about camera angles, whether it should be placed high and what it meant when it is positioned like that.

Week 3:
This class taught us about plot segmentation and storytelling. How do we write a narrative properly and what is the difference between story and plot. We then did a small exercise where we watched a short film and dissected what the plot of the story is into bullet points.

Week 4:
We continued on to recap our previous lesson about plot and story. We then further discussed about 3 act structures - the beginning, middle, and end. The beginning would be the setup, the middle is where conflict or a confrontation occurs, and the ending is the resolution. Then we learned about sound in film such as speech and sound effects, as well as music and dubbing over videos.

Week 5:
In this class we learned about storyboarding and the process to how someone can storyboard a scene. There are so many different angles and shots that can be used. There are also some rules that need to be followed in order for the scenes to flow together in a way that makes sense.

Week 6:
For this class we further learn about using the program Adobe Premiere Pro and the settings that could be used for our videos.

Week 7:
We begin our preparations for our final project by attending stop motion class.

Week 8:
Independent learning week.

Week 9:
Preparations for final project, as well as other exercises to complete. The class is used to gain feedback about our proposals.

Week 10:
Again, this class was only to obtain feedback for our proposals. Further preparations for final project are made.

Week 11:
Public holiday.
INSTRUCTIONS

Exercise 1: Editing Exercise


Our first in-class editing task was to put together clips of an advert in order, although it was already labelled in what order it should be put in. This was simply to get us familiar with the editing software known as Adobe Premiere Pro.


Our next task was to put clips of another ad together in order, it was all jumbled up into a mess before. It was a tad bit difficult to structure since I had never seen this commercial before so it took a while to put together even if it was only 30 seconds long.

Exercise 2:


I used my little brother as the model for this exercise. The camera is a little bit shaky because I did not use a tripod, but for future exercises I'll already have one by then.

Audio editing exercise 1:


Audio exercise 2:

Voice in bathroom


Voice in cave


Voice inside closet


Voice in a stadium


Voice in a call


Audio Exercise 3

Explosion magnified


Punch echo

Punch low pitch

Punch reverb

Monster/alien voice

MAJOR PROJECT

28.08.2023 -  04.12.2023 Haura Laiqa Naznin / 0345050 / Bachelors of Design in Creative Media Major Project INSTRUCTIONS   WEEK 1-3   For our final year project, we were given two choices: one was to either base it off of our dissertation or to do something entirely new. For me, I decided to have it related to my dissertation which was about representation. My main idea was to have a protagonist that other animated movies seem to lack, specifically hijabi representation. This made me think about including my culture into the idea and representing it through the characters and environment. After having some more thought I landed on creating an animation story concept for my final year project. For the first feedback session, I was consulted by Mr. Asrizal and he gave me some pointers to be more specific about what I wanted to represent from my culture. Was it the creatures? The people? I had to think more about that before proceeding with my idea, which he seemed fine with. He t

References are very important! Week 2: We continued to learn about the basics of breaking down a vehicle to its most simple shapes. Week 3: Mr Kannan took a look at our sketches for some vehicles and gave feedback. He then explained what our first project was going to be like, having to choose a world and universe to design vehicles for and the process in doing so. Week 4: No class. Week 5: More feedback on our ongoing project sketches, teaching us on how to draw our vehicles in different perspectives by using the tools in the programs we use such as Photoshop. More thumbnailing and idea sketching. Week 6: We now learned about materials and textures and how to apply and paint them onto our vehicles for later on. The focus was on different types of metals.

2023 PDW Reflection Report

 26/10/2023 PDW Reflection Report During the beginning of week 8, I was looking forward to attending the webinars that were organized by our lecturers and Mr. Izwal. The ones that I have chosen were focused on tips in the workplace and interviews as well as insights into the creative industry. One of the few companies that helped put it all together were Allianz, GSK and C47 Creative. The reasons why I chose those specifically were because I had my worries when it came to choosing jobs or internships in the future and the processes that would follow it. Interviews are very common, if you were unlucky and didn't get hired on the spot! It was one aspect that I always felt nervous about when I thought about having to do them in the future, so obtaining advice from the very professionals who conducted them was going to prove very valuable to me. During all of the webinars, I made sure to write down notes that seemed important to me and to screenshot any information that I thought could
