Project 1 Exercise 1

Audio Dubbing

Before we started working on the audio dubbing, we first created a spreadsheet to list down all the ambience and sound effects required for each scene.

I organized all the audio I needed and placed them into one folder.

FEEDBACK

Week 5
Overall, the work was good, but Mr. Martin suggested adding crowd‑panic ambient sound to the last part to enhance the atmosphere and make the scene more immersive.


REFLECTION

I really enjoyed the process of working on the audio dubbing. It was fun experimenting with different emotions and matching them with the ambience to set the mood of the video. For the audio shaping, I spent quite a bit of time figuring out what lines to say. Overall, it was a valuable experience that helped me understand how sound can enhance storytelling.
