Sound we can "see" & ambient sound

We need to choose or record sound clips to be used to create sound effects to bring a video clip to live.

2. Sound Shaping

We are given a choice of scenarios and we have to pick one and create the soundscape for the chosen scenario.

Fig 1.24 Story with shot size and scene 2

In class, the teacher gave us a simple story, which required everyone to draw the shot according to the provided shot, which not only tested everyone's drawing ability, but also tested everyone's understanding of the shot, and checked the learning results of the previous classes.

Stop Motion Shooting Exercise 
In this week, we are going to do stop motion shooting exercise. We are given 2 stop motion videos and we will need to recreate a few scenes. 

We pieced together images frame by frame to make a video, and it was a very long process, and I heard that in order for the video to be coherent, you need to have seven images in a frame to make the video smooth.

FEEDBACK
Week 3 Specific Feedback: I did not encounter any problems in the process of homework, I think it is very good, and the homework was completed early, I think it is good, there are problems in class, the teacher will help me solve, the teacher is very patient. General Feedback: This week's homework I think is relatively simple, as long as the audio and video pair well, and then add the illustration. Week 2 General Feedback: In order to let everyone remember the eight shots more deeply, we shot the homework materials to be used after class. The eight shots looked easy, but it was still difficult to grasp the Angle and rhythm of shooting. My partner and I shot several times before we were satisfied.
Specific feedback:In class, the teacher asked me some questions after class last week, and I answered them easily after preview. The teacher gave me some encouragement, and I felt full of confidence. At the same time, the teacher also asked everyone what depth of field was, which made me very confused. Thank you very much, Mr.Martin. Week 1 General feedback: The teacher roughly arranged the courses to be taken and this week's homework, and we also needed to buy some professional equipment related to the course. I felt no problem after the whole class, and the homework was not too much.
Specific feedback:This is the first week of class. In class, the teacher asked everyone to introduce themselves. Mr.Martin is a very interesting teacher.

REFLECTIONS


After three weeks of study, I have a certain understanding of VSP. I think this is a very comprehensive course, from shooting to audio pairing, video composition, post-editing, special effects sound addition, and so on. I think this is a very interesting subject, the teacher will play the video for everyone to watch in every class, everyone watches it very carefully, the teacher will not interrupt you during the process, but after watching it, he will ask questions and guide the students to think, I think this is very interesting.
