Importing
Importing the three different sounds and the TV video into the flash file took some time, changing the file names and importing them into the flash folder was simple but the one set back was making sure the flash detected the sounds and video. To make this happen I had to make sure the files were in the correct format which included the sound in MP3 and the video in MP4. After I had completed changing the flash folder to accept the my own files I had the trouble of getting the finish product seen, this is because of the blogger not accepting the format of file, I worked around this by putting the flash file on a disk to send off for marking.
Organising
I made sure I kept my work organised by filing all my working under Sound folder, this linked onto other files named under the different LOs. In addition I also I kept the fished product under ‘IUOM sound mixer’ in the file ‘Interactive Media Product’ with my original sound names files. To make sure my files are always safe I make sure I back up my work every time I complete extra work for this unit so if I lost the file I would have another one saved to make sure I don’t lose the work I have done.
Edit audio:
Audio library material
In my finished interactive media product overall I only used one file from the Soundbooth Audio library, I used this sound to help me create the main music soundtrack to fit with the TV advert, this track was Track 1. I edited this track in Abobe Soundbooth by adjusting the pitch, volume, intensity and using the looping tool to make this track my own. This editing helped the track become an individual piece of music which now fits with the bet of the video without copying other unedited music.
Studio produced audio
I did not use a studio to create the voice over for my video, but I did use a quiet room to produce the audio descroption for the TV advert. To record the audio I used Flip Camera and turned the microphone towards the voices, I found a quite room to record this sound and made sure that no foreign noise interrupted the voice by stopping the recording if a noise started. I edited this voice over in Abobe Soundbooth by changing the tone of the voice making it sound techno to suit the theme of the TV Advert; additionally I add a fade in and out to make the sound flow. I completed these effects by following the effect option button at the top of Soundbooth. I can uses the fade in and fade out top by applying this effect using a labelled button on the side bar.
Apply:
Synchronising sounds
I synchronised the soundtracks to the TV advert by inserting the video into Soundbooth while I was editing each sound. This ensured me to keep checking each change of the sound would suit the beat of the advert, I did this by playing the track with the video looking at if the sound and images synchronised. I did this to all the three sounds of the interactive media product and after I finished edited the tracks individually I then put the tracks all together to see if they would suit, if they did not I could adjust it while all the files were open using Soundbooth.
Lip-synching
When I was creating my Interactive Media I did not have to lip-synching any sound to people talking as the Advert I choose involve cars. Even though i did not have to synch sound to people singing I did have to rearrange the music timings to match the movement of the car and the sound which would have been made by the lasers in the video. I did this by inserting the video into Soundbooth to be able to find the timings of the video which I had to match with the timings of the sound.
Dubbing
Dubbing is when you replace voices on a video soundtrack subsequent to the original version. While I was creating my Interactive Media product I did not have any encounters with needing to dub anybody to the sound I had created to go with the video. When I was creating the three different sounds to go with the video, even though I did not dub, I did have to make sure the sound I was composing suited the content in the video at the selected times such as the car accelerating .
Embed
I embedded the three sound files and the TV Advert into the flash file by changing the file names and formats to link the files into flash. I copied the files into the folder which includes the flash file; to make my files link up I had to change the names to sound001, sound002, sound003 and video001. To finish linking all the files up I had to open up the flash file and open up the source setting in the settings area, I needed to change the link from the old video to the new one to complete the formatting. After I did this I needed to convert the sound files to mp3 and the video files to mp4, this connected the files up with the flash file to make the Interactive Media product complete.
Link to sound file
After I linked up the files to the flash folder I could open up the folder anytime and play the sounds with the video in different orders. The flash folder ensures that my Interactive Media Product works the way I created my sound files to do, the buttons control the different sounds by toggling them on/off to suit the wants of the user. This finished product is going to be put onto a disk to be seen by the audience to let them control their own media with choosing the sound to fit the selected media.
