Fig1.2 Sound effect search and download,Week 8(09/11/2024) |
Because there is no professional recording equipment, so the recorded sound has many defects, such as too much noise, bursting sound and so on, which affect the sense of hearing, so I carried out some noise reduction and so on.

Fig1.7 Time length correspondence,Week 10(23/11/2024) |
Because of the characteristics of the picture book, it is a kind of reading material, so I think that there should be some transition between each page. I set the effect of gradual page change in Pr to simulate the page turning of the book, and adjust the transition time according to the audio time, so as to make the picture book more real and vivid.

Because Mr. Razif asked us to make a video that lasted no more than three minutes, I edited it.

FEEDBACK
Week 9
The voice frequency I use should not use ai dubbing. I can find native English speakers I know or dubbing myself, so the voice is more contagious. What the picture book needs is emotional audio.
Week 10
Finally, the audio can be rendered with some background music, but it can not overshadow the human voice, which is still in the main position.
Reflection
Experiences
In the process of adjusting the audio, I encountered some technical difficulties. I finally successfully solved many problems through the query of network materials, but some places still could not be solved after adjustment. Finally, I decided to re-record some clips.
Observations
It is very important to master audio and narrative rhythm. In the process of dubbing picture books, you need to constantly switch your emotions and roles, express them with sound according to the content of the story, and the use of sound effects and dubbing complement each other. They can effectively render the atmosphere and rhythm effect, and effectively increase the sense of participation of the audience / audience.
This project expands my understanding of the use of dubbing and sound effects, learns how to refine a pure voice, reduces noise and ambient sound, exercises my ability to adjust audio, and improves my professional skills. Not only that, I also began to think deeply about how to use sound to express deeper emotions in order to achieve a better narrative effect.
