Task 8: Evaluation

Overall I believe my dubbed video of Tom & Jerry - The Truce Hurts was a success and the SFXs I used complemented the moving image well. I think it worked well because I think I did a good job on timing the SFXs with the moving image, an example of this is the scene when Spike, Tom and Jerry are hitting each other with different objects so it required me to get three different sounds and to time them with the right objects, if I didn't get it right the audience would notice and would make the scene poor quality in terms of SFX.

When it came to recording the sounds we had to look at the original video to time our sound effect perfectly with the moving image like the sucking sound we had to make sure it was the right length and fitted in with the video.

It was fun recording the sounds, when recording talking and snoring we obviously used each others voices. The talking was us saying random things and making no sense this made it easier so we didn't have to actually write out the script of what they were saying to dub it. With sound effects like pen pot we hit a pen on the table to sound like a pen was getting put in the pot.

Overall I would say dubbing a video means you have to get the right timing with the moving image and SFXs/ music. The music I used and the SFXs I used both worked really well as they were cartoony, and the sounds I recorded I believe worked really well as well. I would of liked to have more talking SFX so it didn't sound similar and repetitive.

With my dubbed video I am pleased and proud to say it was a success.

Production Schedule

Date	What SFX’s	Equipment	Props ect
7th March	Today we recorded several sound effects, here is a list to display ones, which has been done: Talking, writing, breathing, sucking, pen dropping, walking.	We used a Sony IC Recorder (Dicaphone) to record the individual sounds. We also used Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 to edit the footage.	We used a table for the walking sound and a pen for the pen dropping SFX but for everything else we used our voices/mouth.
14th March	Today I will be taking SFX’s from Youtube and Soundfxnow.	The internet will be used a lot for this week and again editing software.	Nothing as I finished recording on 7th March
21st March	Today I carried on taking SFX’s from website I listed above. I took Tom & Jerry soundtracks for the backing track and other SFXs like hitting noises, which I couldn’t record myself.	Internet will be used like always and of course the editing software as well to export and to add the background music to my dubbed pieced. I will be using a hard drive to put my final exported video on it.	Same as above.
