How to use the resources and explain the different use of facilities in CDU library are introducted by liaison librarians. In brief, what we need to do is that using video and audio to show the work of liaison in CDU library. in order to know more, we went to library. Eric, Julle and Shelly introduce the different parts of library and their different functions. It gives us a clearly structure to create the storyboard with our groups.

NMD 302 week 4

This week we have Video and Audio quick tests. From the test, i found some knowledge are easy to study, but forget quickly. So, it reminds me to do more practise during study, review the knowledge which i had already known and understand them. After the test, we readay to do the research about CDU library promotion video. Firstly, making a plan. We have a communication to make sure what we can do and to find some tutorial about library video or audio to share with each other. After the conversation, we were showed the 3D-"ART GALLERY" and "Chinese Garden" in CDU. From the introduction, we know about that how the 3D works and what the differences between 3D and normal movies.

I have two good examples below.

1.     Linker:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWiALTHIJLo
In my opinion, i prefer this movie "Smart people Smart library". From this movie, author use book dominoes as a thread. Follow the books dominoes, we are introduced form information desk to other different reading rooms. According to the move direction of books, it shows the structure and function of this library. It is a interestiong way to introduce library and its music make me want to know more about the it. powerful music. This advertisment style could attract more attentation from people.

2.     Linker:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBS7JEEBvmE
This movie describes some small stories which happen in the different parts of library. From the interesting stories, it shows the functions of reading room, quite studying room and some regulations of library. It looks like a old movie and illustrates a relaxed atmosphere in library. The background is from day to night.

Below is a bad example.

This movie also introduces the structure and function of library. But as an audience, i pay more attentation on the two tours' conversation and activity than library.  When the staffs illustrate the information about library, i feel boring. I think they speaking too much. Library is a quite place to study. Sometimes, pelple can understand the meaning just from a image without any words.

The study of this week is quite complicated. The introduction is about what the sound is, sample rate and bit rate use in different requirements. We study how to edit the sound by using Soundtrack Pro. It shows the amplitude of a clip and the frequencies contained by a clip. Firstly, we need send the selected clip to Soundtract Pro. Then, we need to concentrate on the sound to delete the noise and edit it sounds more frequently. What we can do in this part is that choose the line which we can edit the sound. Using Add a Marker to confirm the part and highlight them. Open Process,  choose Set Ambient Noise Print to copy this part first, then Replace With Ambient Noise to another part which is the noise. At last, save it and connect it with the video.

NMD 302 week 2

This week, we start with the introduction to FCP. Using The Final Cut Pro Workflow edit audios that is divided into two steps, editing phase and polishing phase. Secondly, naming convention is starting with the client name, then use the project number and your initials for naming of files in the final. One of the most important things is that how to use the Final Cut Pro to edit audio. We learn how to choose setup, system settings and set user preferences in FCP. In addition, we learn some basic functions of FCP, such as set a new project, set a sequence, add clips to timeline, move clips and the use of hot keys. The last thing is that create a transition between clips. These are all what we learn this week, it has a big fun to study with FCP.
