Food On Film – Week 11
Process
Last week, Tong and I went to Shinmai Tasty again, we interviewed Tah again with only audio. Thankfully, Tah accepted our requirement. From the previous feedback that Kim gave to us, we want to explore Tah’s personal experience of Japanese food. This time, I think we got enough content of Tah’s own experience. However, we Tong and I put her soundtrack(second-time audio), we recognized that two soundtracks, which are the firster interview and the second interview soundtrack, they couldn’t match together. It because the way Tah’s volume and her flow of speaking are totally different.
In order to fix this significant problem, Tong and I learn to use Adobe Audition by ourselves. Audition is a very useful software that features both a multitrack, non-destructive mix/edit environment and a destructive-approach waveform editing view. We use it to edit the volume and the flow of Tah’s talking. I think audiences can still hear some differences between those two different soundtracks, but background music will help us to figure this problem as well. Not only in documentaries, but also many types of films, background music used to be neglected. But after the leaning process of this studio, I noticed that background music is really important. I need to pay attention to the music of my project.

The first thing to choose music, we need to decide what role the music is playing. In the website, Audionetwork notes that background music can weather support your content or driving it. Tong and I decided to choose two different types of music, Thai music, and Japanese classical music. I think when Tah talks about her personal experiences, Thai music allows our audiences to feel the heartfelt emotion of Tah’s cultural background. On the other hand, when Tah speaks about her restaurant, Japenese’s music creates the senses that let our viewers set into the scene of the restaurant. Moreover, Tong and I analyzed the content of our project and did some sound editing. Before we turn to our last step of the credit page, we plan to find the fit background music of our project this week.
Feedback from Kim
The content of our project is all good now, but we need to put the volume around -6dbp(first time to know that, thanks to Kim:)), finish the title and credits, then it good to go.
