On The Spot Post-Production

Image
On The Spot - Post Production This was definitely the most time-consuming project out of all of them this year. Besides that, however, it was a lot of fun getting to film things outside of the classroom and put some own creative spin on my own work.  Choosing The Right Music I was inspired by a few things from the videos shown in class. For one thing, I learned just how important sound is as the actual video itself. The sound is able to captivate the audience by following a certain tone that is easy for the viewer to understand. This was the hardest thing for me to do as it required a lot of thinking on my part in order to captivate this same feeling- I couldn't just slap any random music and call it a day. The search for the right kind of music was the most annoying part of this project for me because of this. I would play some songs found on bensound over my project, but none of them worked out. A silly thing I found out was that Jazz songs actually fitted well in the background

On The Spot - Proof of Production

Image
  On The Spot - Proof of Production I had to take a screenshot from my One Drive folder because my SD card is broken and can't upload files to my computer. Some clips that are on my SD card have not yet been uploaded to One Drive, but I can show them to you on Monday if you'd like. *Inspiration for including clips of Mahjong (a Chinese board game) in my On The Spot* Script screenshots (PDF submitted on Schoology)

EQ

Image
  - Sound Design - "Equalization & Microphone Types" What is the difference between dynamic and condenser microphones?   I n terms of sensitivity, condenser mics are more sensitive compared to dynamic mics. Dynamic mics also require no power, while condenser mics require a battery or phantom. What is directionality?   It is the "pickup pattern" of a microphone in which your microphone can pick up sound from a particular direction. There are three basic types such as omnidirectional, cardioid, and super-cardioid. Omnidirectional can pick up sounds equally from all directions, while cardioid is more sensitive to sounds from the front.  Why would you use a lavalier? A shotgun? A dynamic?   It all depends on the scene's situation. Lavaliers and shotguns are better used when the subject needs their hands free in the shot for things such as hand movements and presentations. Shotgun microphones are also ideal for scenes in which the subject is farther away from you

News Broadcast

 News Broadcast 4/20/2022     -  After watching the news today, I have created a new proposition for CVTV.     Before coming to CV high school, there was no CVTV. Rather, the whole school would watch CNN10 in their homerooms, which broadcasted a short, 10-minute snippet of up-to-date news every day. This would sum up a large amount of information about current, ongoing things that I would have never looked into myself. Nowadays, I rarely get to hear the news and only learn about things out of coincidence from scrolling through the media, or through friends. Though I wouldn't say that I am oblivious as to what's going on in the world right now, I would say that I would know a lot more if there were some sort of real-world news system incorporated into CVTV.      Rather than only focusing on school-related events, I think that there should be some occasions in which CVTV incorporates an up-to-date short of current news. Students rarely take time in their day to watch the news, wh

Sound Design - Dynamic Range and Metering

Image
  - Sound Design - "Dynamic Range and Metering" What is dynamic range?   It is the manner of difference between the softest and loudest sounds of an audio signal, including their decimals and hold. How does it affect sound recording?   Dynamic range can be altered in order to amplify/reduce the volume of loud and quiet sounds. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why is metering important?   It shows the exact moment-to-moment volume of an instrument and grants more accuracy toward the level of sound quality. It can save you from not knowing whether your sound is too low or too high. How can it help us with our sound recording?   It can be helpful for figuring out the level of intensity in the sound that listeners perceive with their ears. By tinkering with the meter, the right volume can be found that matches your ears. What happens when the meter runs over level?   When the meter runs over lev
