week 10

The film is in editing process. The music is better to be more serious rather than “happy and light” style that is mentioned in the previous posts. The music goes louder in the film for the crowd of people scene. When the member from our group is talking, the music should be turned down to the lowest. When the scenes change into “crowd people scene”, the volume turns louder.

week 9

I have found a guitar CD I bought on Melbourne’s street. I don't know their contact information, but I really want to use one piece of it. Because I think if I use it as the background music of the scene which is about people using computer and walking, it can present the light-hearted of most people is using and wasting energy. I need to check out a more match music in MAC computer.

week 8

Sadiq send a video link online. But I don’t understand it at all. It is not English.
I think the music of the video is good. It may be able to be chosen as our film music style which is light and happy.

week 7

Toula gives us some suggestions which are really helpful. We shoot the film again. I think this time it is much better. We add some scenes such as people walking pass the street and students are using computers for entertain and study. It sends me the message that if we keep wasting energy, how long we can stay in this kind of convenient world. This is not just an “old fashion topic”. It is serious. So, this week I still take care of the sound in the film. Everything goes well.

week 6

We start shooting the film. It is documentary. Each of us is going to present in the film. We talk about environmental problem should be paid attention and the simple ways for people saving energy in daily life. The microphone works well and catches presenter’s speaking clearly. There is not much cacophony. It is acceptable.

week 5

Keep study about sound editor’s job. Sound in the film is as important is the visual effect. It helps to create the atmosphere. Different film style needs different sound effect. Moreover, I have to consider the copyright. I think if we are going to present a documentary, we can use the music pieces which are provided in MAC computer.

week 4

We are still talking about the content of the film. The style of the film could be cartoon or telling a story. Maybe documentary can deliver our green concept more clearly and directly. I searched online about my role which is sound editor to get more acknowledge.
