It’s Chilly Out there – Movie anyone?

For your next project, you will be using Adobe Premiere to make a movie trailer. Use at least two different sources to create a 2-3 min trailer. If you prefer you may also make a music video.

Due next week: A rough cut of your trailer

Last week we went over: Intro to Premiere, importing sequences, marking in and out in the browser, razor blade, unlinking audio from a clip … am I forgetting anything?

Mash ups, Remixes and the Wonderful Digital World

Everything is a Remix – Part one … New and Improved I hope!

Hello everyone,

If you enjoyed the 2021 Everything is a Remix – the original is different enough to be interesting. I’ve posted both below.

Homework: Choose one option from below

Using Audition create a 2 -3 min Mashup. Please use at least 3 different musical sources and consider incorporating sounds, original material. Be creative!

Redesign the sound design from a 2-3 min scene in a movie of your choice. If the sound design is loud and bombastic try making quiet and intimate. And the reverse should you choose a scene that is quiet how does it change with a louder different sound design. Be prepare to share both the original and the redesign with the class.

In class we looked at: the effects rack – tracks and clips, slowing down/speeding up clips (changes physical length versus changing the pitch – look at properties window, how to make a loop and how to export to a .wav or .mp3. If you cannot upload to directly to your openlab page upload the exported file to your google folder, go to share and copy the link to paste in an OPenlab post. Am I forgetting something?

And the original Remastered:

The Immersive Medium of Sound

Hi everyone,

I hope that your week is going well.

We’ve moved into the wonderful world of sound.

For homework I would like you to create a soundscape using 3-5 different sounds. Use Adobe Audition and create a multitrack session. The sound design should be 30 seconds – 1 min. You can find sounds in freesounds.org. Adobe Audition also has bundles that you may download. Need an extra challenge – try recording some of your own foley sounds.

And despite Halloween being over the prompt is “SPOOKY”. This may be interpreted in any number of ways – so think outside of the box and try to be original!

Here is video that shows how some of the magic is made in Hollywood!
