Exercise 1: Sound for Visual (Week 3)

Fig 1.1 - Exercise 1 Brief


Getting started

For this exercise, we given a short clip of 'Everything, Everywhere, All at Once' along with dialog scripts. From the clip, we were split into groups and were instructed to create a Google sheet that includes the scene breakdown with the links to the sound effects and ambience sound according to the timeline.


Audio Breakdown

In our group, we decided to split the video clip into 5 scenes. I was in charge of breaking down scene 5. After filling in the scene information, I went searching for sound effects and ambience sound. After that, I added the links to the google sheet according to the description individually.


To gather the sound effects and ambience sounds, I used these two websites given by Mr Martin:


Below is the completed sheet of Audio Breakdown:

Sound effects editing on Adobe Premiere Pro

After working on the scene breakdown, we were then instructed to insert the audio into the clip using Adobe Premiere Pro. To start, I first added and synced up the sound effects to the clip.

Then, I synced them up with the video clip in After Effects.

To make Waymond's voice tone deeper, I used the Pitch Shifter tool from Audio Effects and decreased the semi-tones by 4 decibels.

After adding all the audio clips, I adjusted the decibels of each audio track and the video is complete.
