[SOLVED] FMTV 218 - Audio Post Assignment Tiny Donuts

FMTV 218 - Audio Post Assignment – “Tiny Donuts”

Assignment Value – 25 marks

Take a short documentary thru audio post, from Intermediates to Rough Mix.

• The Intermediates: An AAF file, an audio guide track, and a TCBI file, and

supplementary Audiofiles to be provided by the student (sound effects and music).

• Name the Session SecX_LastName_TinyDonuts. (e.g. SecA_Smith_TinyDonuts)

This assignment tests your recall of the techniques we learned in class, techniques that I expect you to know. So I won’tlist every ‘requirement’ . But, if you checkout my YouTube videos, you’ll get reminders. And here area few helpful hints:

DIALOG:

• Choose your preferred microphone (lav or boom) for each subject.

• The three characters are Grandfather, Father, and Son.

• The panning must be corrected before you edit the dialog.

B-ROLL, AMBIENCES and SPECIFICS:

• Three B-roll sequences need audio,

• walking towards the shop at 00:21, the entry into the shop at 02:07, and dropping the bag of flour at 03:04.

MUSIC:

• The AAF contains temp music that you can’t use; you must find your own (NO MP3’s).

• Non-stop music is not allowed, nor is it a good idea. Find effective in & out points.

• More than one piece of music is encouraged.

MIX:

• Balance the dialog so that all three subjects are roughly the same volume.

• Balance the b-roll audio so that it doesn’t interfere with dialog, but so that it is fairly strong when featured on its own.

• Balance the music so that it provides energy without interfering with the dialog.

Students tend to mix music too low (barely audible) or too high (louder than dialog).

BOUNCE:

• Do a ‘Bounce to Disk’, Interleaved format.

• Ensure it is stored in the Bounced Files folder.

Criteria for grading:

• OMF and PT file management /3

• PT Session organization & track management /5

• Managing mono, dual mono, & stereo /5

• Basic Dialog Editing, SFX editing, and Music editing /5

• Fades & crossfades /2

• Basic Mixing /3

SUBMIT:

• The entire PT Session Folder, including the Bounce. Do NOT include the Video File.

• ZIP the Session Folder and send it to me via WeTransfer.

• DEADLINE 11:59 PM. THURSDAY DEC 12th.

• Late = 5 mark penalty instantly (Friday Dec 13th 12AM) + 2 marks every 24 hrs
