Skills Commentary

Team 4 Slideshow

I was the Sound Designer for this session and I mostly focused on getting comfortable with the equipment and the software. I wanted to get better at recording dialogue and leveling it with the background effects and music.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

Since we were a bit short on time I had to do most of the post-production audio stuff after school. I had to do a lot of leveling of the audio, especially the scream at the end.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I communicated with Nate who did most of the editing to get an idea of where to put specific effects. I also communicated with Zayvier to get the scream which was a last minute decision.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

I used mostly Davinci Resolve and Cubase to edit the audio together because that’s what I have on my computer at home.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

I developed good communication skills and developed a better understanding of the job and the equipment.

Reactions to the Final Version

Eric liked the Griddy and he said it was funny but also kind of creepy.

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

I liked the final project because it did its job, however, I wish I leveled the dialogue a little better and had more time to do original music.
