Project 1
Exercise 1: Audio Dubbing
INSTRUCTION
After I download the video, me & my friends were spread into a group with few people, together we make an excel sheet. This excel sheet was made to help us in doing the audio dubbing exercise. The sheets consist Scene's description, total time of scene, character, dialogue, sound effects, and ambience links. This sheet can be used together, but the audio dubbing should be done by ourself.

First, I record my own voice following the dialogue, using voice recorder application from my phone, then I send the files to my laptop.
After that, I go to a website called Freesound and look for some sound effects that can be used for the video.

Next, I begin to edit in Premiere Pro. I input the video, I have downloaded from drive and input my audio recordings. I try to sync my voice and the video by selecting the part that I one, by pressing I for Mark in and O for Mark out. Mark In and Mark out is used to select a specific part we want from the audio.

Next, I adjust my voice into male voice by using effects. I then drag the effect called pitch shifter into my audio, and play along with the semi-tones and cents.
After my voice sync and ok, I insert sound effects and ambience sound to the video. Lastly, I adjust the volume to make sure the sound is not too loud or quiet. Some sound can't be adjust as between -6db & 12db also below -20db, cause some ambience sound is too low, and can't be heard.
