Video and Sound Production: Project 1
In this scene, the girl was talking on the phone, so I also did find a tutorial video to adjust the sound that heard like from the phone.
Other than street sounds of people talking, I wanted to add some sound effects of people freaking out after the glass fell onto the ground.

INSTRUCTIONS
Project 1: Audio Dubbing
In this task, we were provided a short video without any sound and our task was to add sound effects and dialogue to the video. Mr. Martin suggest us some websites where we could find sound effects to apply. The sound effects that I found were all from Freesound.
List of different scenes
I watched the short clips and began to analyze which sound effects should apply in that scene. I listed it in an Excel sheet, which I could refer back to or customize again.
Scene 1
Sound Effect Applied:
Truck Engine, Car Moving, Car Break, Opening car door, running steps
Ambiance:
Street Sound
I imported the downloaded video and audio, I started adding sound effects to it. While I was applying them, I needed to replay quite a few times to make sure the timing was the same with the actions of it. Besides, I also needed to reduce the volume of some audio because they were too loud comparing with others.
Scene 2
Sound Effect Applied:
Running up the stairs
Ambiance:
Interior Hall
As the scene happened in the interior, the sound steps of running up the stairs should be softer and stepping on a wooden stairs.
Scene 3
Sound Effect Applied:
Inserting coin, Dailing phone
Ambiance:
Street sound
As this scene was in a telephone booth, I was not sure how to make the sound in a hermetic space, so what I did was reduce the street sound.
Scene 4
Sound Effect Applied:
Opening the door, Walking steps
Ambiance:
Interior Room
Dialogue:
What are you looking for? (Man)
Mom's glasses. (Girl)
Just there. (Man)
Other than applying sound effects, we also needed to dub the character's dialogue on our own. There wasn't any problem for me to dub the girl's voice, but for the man, I watched some tutorial videos on Youtube to learn to change the voice tone.
There were two parts to the walking step sound, the first few steps were walking on a wooden floor, and the other time would be the girl walking on the map, so the sound would be softer.
