Critique Reflection

I believe that the best aspect of my film is the usage of a variety of principles of design and camera movements. My classmates liked the use of principles of design like leading lines and emphasis. I felt I needed to improve on my editing of the film and use more visual effects to make the film more engaging. In terms of my strengths and weaknesses, I feel like I was effectively able to use multiple principles of design and camera movements, which made the film seem less repetitive and more immersive. I believe that my weakness would be in terms of editing the film. I feel like I need to work on the use of effects and color grading to make the film better.

Equalization (EQ)

Image
  Equalization (EQ) 1.  What is EQ? EQ (or equalization) in music is the process of changing the balance of different frequency components in an audio signal. 2.  How does an instrument or voice’s timbre affect how we EQ A sound’s timbre gives our brains a lot of information about what it represents in the real world. 3. How does masking effect recordings with multiple sounds? EQ is used in mixing to help reduce the effect of masking so that each instrument can be heard clearly. 4.  How can you use filters to improve audio quality? EQ is essentially a special application of a filter. The qualities of the filter that your EQ uses for its cuts or boost determines a lot about its sound—and the best way to use it. 5.  Explain Additive and Subtractive EQ. Additive EQ:  boosting frequencies to achieve the results you want. Subtractive EQ:  cutting offending frequencies out.

Microphone Types Blog Post

Image
  1.  What is the difference between Dynamic and Condenser microphones?  The dynamic mics use a diaphragm, voice coil, and magnet to pick the sound waves and convert them into an electrical signal. Condenser mics use an electrically-charged diaphragm, which when vibrates, an electrical signal is generated that is proportional to the sound. 2.  What is directionality?  Directionality is a microphone's sensitivity  to sound relative to the direction or angle from which the sound arrives .  3 .   Why would you use a Lavalier? A  Shotgun? A Handheld Dynamic? A lavalier microphone or lavalier  is a small microphone used for television,  theater, and public speaking applications  to allow hands-free operation .  Shotgun mics are  highly directional and  ideal for use in noisy environments, such as crowded streets or busy restaurants .  Handheld microphones are  designed to be held in the hand, but they can also be clipped onto a microphone stand whilst someone sings, gives a speech, play

Sound Design- Dynamic Range and Metering

Image
 1. What is Dynamic Range? The  dynamic  range of any recording is defined as  the ratio of the loudest peak to the quietest, expressed in decibels (dB) .  2.  How does it affect Sound Recording? Sound recordings  with a wide dynamic range will have a larger gap between the loudest sound and quiet sound compared to songs with more consistent sound quality . 3.  Why is metering important? Metering  helps you see the gain of your instruments when you record, the loudness of your tracks when you mix and the dynamic range of your mixes when you master .  4.  How can it help us with our sound recording? In mixing and mastering,  metering  is any useful visual  aid  that shows  us  where  we  stand.
