LECTURES

All lectures are written in Sonic Design Exercises


INSTRUCTIONS




This project required us to make a 3-4 minute auditory experience that will take listeners to an otherworldly soundscape through the artful work of audio. First, I began with something I did for a college English class years ago: I wrote out a short description of the scene in Google Docs, drafted details, and chose the foreground and background sound differences. Foreground sounds are those that capture the center of the audio world: character action or significant environmental elements, while background sounds are underplayed ambient noises that come to the fore without blowing away the main sounds.




After the scenario outline was finalized, I started the editing phase in Adobe Audition. For this piece, I layered and balanced the audio tracks so that each sound was clear, and still sounded immersive in its given space. I worked on Adobe Audition's EQ and reverb tools to enhance the whole and put the foreground sounds in front of the background noises giving them a little more weight. Finally, the process of editing was much more involved with precise volume adjustments and spatial effects needed to make this auditory journey feel cohesive and exciting.

Overall, I think the final piece is very good because it tells a great story with sound, it is very immersive. The foreground and background elements provide very visual contrasts that work very well together and gently enhance the atmosphere while directing the audience’s attention to important moments. Through balancing in clarity and in-depth, I was able to bring them into the scene so that they would obviously enter the scene. This project demonstrated the awesome power of audio storytelling, and how audio can come together and bring a story to life if you craft sound design very carefully.

 June 10, 2022 - July 1, 2022 (Week 11 - 14) Anandya Dewi Saputra / 0354651 Design Principles / Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media / Taylor's University Final Project / Visual Analysis LECTURES Visual Analysis Visual analysis is a method of assessing the ability of a land/landscape indicated by a visual change as a result of human activities, or it can also be defined as the physical carrying capacity of a land/landscape to absorb various development and management activities proposed by still paying attention to the quality and visual character. Visual analysis is a method of understanding art that focuses on an artwork's visual elements such as color, line, texture, scale, etc. Step 1 - Observation the technique of data collecting that enables an observer (manager, expert, analyst) to analyze a specific process and get insight into important process aspects. Step 2 - Analysis Analysis necessitates that you consider your observations and attempt to form claims about ...

September 27, 2024 -  / (Week 1 - 14) Anandya Dewi Saputra / 0354651 Bachelor of Design (Hons)in Creative Media / Taylor's University Design Research Dissertation / Task 1 (Draft Dissertation) INSTRUCTIONS For this part of the project, we are given the task of writing a literature review from 5 articles that link to our research. On top of that, we have to make a literature matrix to create the subheading of our research. We have to check if the article is written by scholars. This methodology section is supposed to explain the research approach, justification, and purpose behind it with appropriate citations. To conclude the review, think about the major trends and the main contributors. How are there gaps in the literature and whether the review should continue and be updated or are you satisfied that any further research would need to take a completely different approach. It is also mandatory to show our progression weekly to our lecturer. Literature Review Matrix At the start o...
