BDC301: Week 12

When it came time to do the audio for video assignment, it was my favourite one. Voice dubbing Kim from the movie “Taken” was fun but also a little complicated because she was pretty much crying the whole time, so it was a little tricky to recreate her sadness- especially syncing all the sniffles sighs and gasps. The second day we worked on it, the computer froze and we lost everything we did that day and had to recreate everything we worked on in 5 hours in 1 hour which was very stressful. We managed to do it and had to roll with it, then when we went to the mac lab we found our original files! which was great, but we really could have used the hour that we rushed and scrambled for in post. This was my favourite assignment not just in audio but in any of my classes this year, it was really fun and enjoyable and i learned a lot.

BDC301: Week 11

Today was the in studio practical test. The night before i had tickets to a rescheduled concert which was supposed to originally be october 2nd. However, there was a bomb threat at the sound academy where the concert was held which slowed down the whole process, the concert got cancelled at 11:30pm (supposed to start at 8) and took me almost an hour to get home, the parking lot was full and packed of angry people. I was very annoyed because i could have used that extra time to study for my test and could have slept more and maybe would not have missed my 10:00 am slot. Like i mentioned earlier, i did band recording first and not audio for video. If i did audio for video first like i was supposed to, i would have been better prepared for my foley practical test, but because i made the mistake of doing music recording first, i had not touched protools in the foley studio and did not really know how to set it up.

BDC301: Week 10

Somehow i thought my group, group D, was doing the music recording assignment first, but we were actually supposed to do the audio for video assignment, i only checked the syllabus once and obviously misread which assignment i was supposed to do, i figured it was okay though because i would have to do audio for video anyway in a few weeks so i didnt worry too much.

BDC301: Week 9

Today i think that the quiz was alright, some things i knew bang on, others i was stuck between a few answers. I liked that it was multiple choice with a few short answer questions because some of the terminology i had forgotten or wasnt exactly sure which concept they belonged to, but the multiple choice options sparked a reminder in my brain in some questions, and the short answers were not complex, big paragraphed questions- they were simplistic questions with simplistic short answers. I think that most people enjoyed the quiz and found it okay.
