Media. Day 1

I was given the task to read a segment of the book, "The Cat in The Hat" by Dr. Seuss, into a microphone and then editing the audio from the microphone on Adobe Audition. I then added background music to liven up the segment of audio and to add a mood specifically for the story. I did this by following the following steps below.

1. On the file you have chosen, highlight the parts that you don't want/ need.

2. Delete the highlighted parts by clicking delete and then this part should be gone.

3. Once step 2 has been performed then you will need to begin layering the audio files. In order to do this, you need to click (FILE - NEW MULTI TRACK SESSION).

4. Call the session an appropriate name. For example the name of the audiobook. In my case, this would be The Cat in The Hat audiobook.

5. Select the location of the folder that you wish to store all the audio files in.

6. Change the sample rate to 44100

7. Change the bit depth to 16

8. You need to make sure that all the audio files that you want to use are imported. In order to do this, you need to click (FILE - IMPORT - FILE) then choose the files that you would like to use and they should appear.

9. If the audio file has any background audio then you might want to overlap this. In order to do this just drop the audio file onto the line where you would like it.

LISTEN TO THE AUDIO AS YOU GO AND ALSO SAVE AS YOU GO.

Media. Day 2

Tasks that  I had to complete:

  1. Brainstorm ideas
  2. Create a pitch for the production
  3. Pitch the production
  4. Select the best idea and develop further
  5. Plan the production
  6. Conduct rehearsal and block the production
  7. Create titles and graphics
  8. Conduct rehearsal of filming and editing slots
  9. Film and live edit the production
  10. Review the production

I was given the task of being an actor in a short advert for the Bic 4  colour pen which was pitched by fellow students. My role was to sit at a desk and faint when my corresponding colour came up. This was easier said than done though because there are so many different roles in order to create such a small clip of video.

Roles:

  • Actors
  • Lighting Technician
  • Sound Technician
  • Director
  • Camera Operators
  • Floor Manager
  • Assistant Director
  • AutoCue (script) Operator
  • Live Editor

Stitching/Panorama

I created a stitched (photo merge) image by taking many photographs which overlap very slightly in order to produce a final panoramic image. I began by opening photoshop and going to the "File" menu and then "Automate" and then clicking on "Photomerge". By doing this, it opens up a tab which allows me to change what sort of photo merge I am going to produce and it also allows me to browse the files that I would like to use for the photo merge. I then browsed through my files to find the exact files that I wanted to use. Once I clicked open, it layered and merged the photos together into one final panoramic image. Once the final image was created I flattened the image by hovering over the "Layer" and then clicked on "Flatten Image" which brought all the layer into one. Below are my 2 final panoramic images that I created. The 2 final images above are underexposed so when I create a panoram...

Editing in RAW

When shooting in RAW, which contains data which is minimally processed either from an image sensor of a digital camera. This format is unready for printing because they are not processed. In order to process the image, I double clicked on the RAW, unprocessed image in the location that the image was in. This then opened up camera RAW which allowed me to make manipulations, improvements and changes to many different things.  Once I had finished making the changes that I wanted to the image, I had to save it. When i saved the image I changed the format to TIFF so that I could print the image and I saved it again but this time as a JPEG so that I could put it onto my blog. Below is the edited versions of my photographs.

Adam Fuss

Source: http://www.cheimread.com/artists/adam-fuss "I see the photogram as being much more truthful and more honest because it's just recording light. There is no manipulation of that light, in the way that a lens manipulates light." - Adam Fuss Adam Fuss was born in 1961 in London but he grew up mainly in Australia. In 1980 Fuss started working as a photographic apprentice at Ogilvy & Mather Agency. He later made a move to New York, this is where he first started to record and document the natural environment around him through photography using a pinhole camera. This later guided Adam to experiment with alternative photographic processes, which later on led to him abandoning using the camera completely. Fuss's photographic works are unique for their contemporary reinterpretation of the earliest techniques of photography, specifically the photograms and camera-less techniques. Fuss believes that to make photographic techniques work, they should be person...
