Free Project: Process #3 - Post-Production

In this post, I would like to detail the post-production process of the podcast that I made.

To begin with, I imported all of the WAV files into Premiere Pro and arranged it from the first to last paragraph. I also went to Youtube and searched for royalty free music, in which I ended up using this one from BreakingCopyright, a channel with over five hundred thousand subscribers: Youtube link. I downloaded it by copying the link and going to a youtube to mp3 converter. Moving on, I arranged all the audio in order in the first track, while also cutting the music into two sections (beginning and ending) on the second track.

Moving on, as I listen to the full recording of the first track, I write down which parts of the audio I should re-take. Then, after re-taking them through Audacity, I imported the WAV files and arranged them accordingly by cutting the previous section and adding the new one. I also changed the dB levels of some of the tracks, as some of the earlier recordings are too loud. I did this by grabbing the white line and pulling it down to the level I want to.

After that, I also went to the Audio section, in which I changed the volume levels of the first track to 3,7 dB, the second to 6,6 dB, and overall 6,0 dB. These are the settings in which my voice are not clipping and the audio sounds perfectly fine. Then, I went to Effects and did DeReverb and DeNoise on the first track, with very low percentage amount to make the recording sound better. Then, I added audio transitions such as exponential fade and constant gain in the second track. Lastly, I exported it as a WAV file, making sure that the sample rate is 44100 Hz.


With editing finished and the podcast file already made, I went to RSS.com to publish my podcast. Here, I uploaded my cover art, wrote down the title, show notes, and checked the link. With this, my podcast has been created in RSS.com.

Moving on to the first episode, I titled it as "The Taiwanese New Wave in 5 Minutes," while using the same art as the podcast, which many other podcasts do. I then write down a short description of the episode, the episode number, and selected a few keywords that best describes it. After all is done, I uploaded the first episode.



Moving on, instead of just RSS.com, I also decided to upload it to Spotify. First, I went to Spotify for Podcasters. There, I wrote down where the podcast is made, the primary language spoken in the podcast, who is the hosting provider (RSS.com), the primary category of the podcast, etc. Here is the page showing the creation of the podcast:



With the podcasts both published in RSS and Spotify, I would like to put it into my website, which will be on the next blog post. Here is the RSS link and the Spotify link.

Website Research: Hirokazu Kore-eda and Dany Cooke

Image
In this post, I will look into two websites by filmmakers and compare both of them. This research will help me on creating my own website by considering the use of colors, layout, typography, image, useability, navigation, and my overall thoughts on the website. I will be looking into Hirokazu Kore-eda and Dany Cooke's website, with both being filmmakers and quite experienced in the filmmaking industry. I would like to learn from two websites of two very different directors, with Kore-eda a 60-year-old filmmaker that is internationally known, and Cooke a young freelance filmmaker. Hirokazu Kore-eda's Website First off, I will talk about Hirokazu Kore-eda's website. From the home page, the website looks very simple, with a showcase of stills from his films. I noticed that his website only consists of Top, News, Profile & Works, as well as Message in the navigation, with the layout being centered and in a long bar. When I scrolled down, there is his twitter feed, news f

Website Creation: Gallery Page

Image
In this post, I will talk about the process of creating my Gallery page for my website. Because the layout of the gallery page already exists, I don't have to choose a template. The font I will be using Avenir. I began by editing the "My Gallery" section on top, then I wrote a short description on it as well.  Moving on, I moved on to the projects. I deleted most projects that the website has, and included my project, which is Grief & Loss Script, a 10-15 page long script on the theme of grief and loss. In it, I also included pictures of my script and my Milanote. In the future, I will be updating this project section with my progress on the script. After finishing the "My Gallery" desktop page, I moved to edit the mobile version. I changed the title to 24px and the description to 14px. I also tried to change the size of the project since it's too small, but after trying it, the size can't be altered.  With that, I had finished my Gallery page. Check

Reflection: Moments of Sorrow

Image
I gained an interest in theme of grief and loss through films and through my own concerns. I feel that the theme itself is very heavy, and is a challenge to write because of its complexity. However, I wrote this story for more personal reasons. I often thought about whether or not I will be ready when people I loved died, and how I will be able to move on from those moments of sorrow. As such, I feel that this is personally a way of preparing myself to face that fear. Along with this, I wrote this story because I want to not only understand the nature of grief and how it affects people, but of how we can move forward from an unforgettable loss of a loved one. As an aspiring filmmaker, I am very much eager to learn about all aspects of filmmaking, especially writing which I view to be the most important aspect of films as its often the core of the story and film itself. As such, this project has helped me to do more writing, especially in terms of having to fit the story into only 15 pa
