Sonic Design Name : Chan Huei Lian (0351597) Sonic Design | Bachelor of Design in Creative Media | Taylor's University Task 1 : Sound Fundamentals INSTRUCTIONS LECTURE Week 1 Mr Razif briefed us about the introduction to sonic design and the tasks that would be needed to be accomplished throughout the semester. Adobe Audition will be the main software for this module. The key to good sound design in films is to be detailed oriented. For final project, we can choose between doing game sound or silent movie.  Week 2 Mr Razif gave a lecture about the fundamentals of sound concept.

(for instance, 2 different brands of guitar with the same string would sound different) - perceived duration : fast-paced, slow-paced or in moderation. (menotrome, biological rhythm : heartbeat) - Envelope : determine the shape of sound.  - spatialisation : sense of location, distance, left or right of microphone, or mak...
