Yong Huey Yee Revised Project Proposal - Research Project.docx

We finally recorded the vocals, and I picked the best recordings, also tuning them. The timing adjustments are to be done by Nicole, so I just applied light pitch corrections to the vocals ( especially high notes). Now it's up to Nicole to mix everything.

So sorry for the lack of progress recently... There's been problems with my spine and leg these few weeks, causing me to not be able to sit/stand without feeling pain or numbness, and that slowed my fyp progress a ton, also messing up the schedule you asked me to create... I'll try my best to work and finish them though!

In general, the clips you have chosen are very game centric. This is fine, but try to balance it out with different types of media. This can include:

- Game play (which is what you have)
- Game trailers (animated and non-animated)
- Adverts (you can start this from scratch and do the voiceovers and composition)
- Movie trailers

For the coming week, do list down all the clips you intend to include into your media composition portfolio. We'll have a look at it as a whole, then balance out the genre of work from there!

I made the music previously for my friend before, but I will create a new track for this animation for my portfolio

Draft 1: Nintendo Switch Sports trailer intro

Draft 1: Nintendo Switch Sports trailer intro

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to create a composition that's totally different from the original music. The original consisted of mostly synth drums and simple synth melodies. I'm making a more rich arrangement to make it sound more fun but still incorporating some synth drums as tribute to the original music.

# data[].attributes.body
I took Ms Christine's suggestions and adjusted the timings of the intro to fit the movements of the characters, and incorporating the "snap" into my composition. The snap when the old lady in-game-character does the bowling motion still sounds a bit out of place. Do you have any suggestions for that? I'm thinking of using certain sound effects to blend in the music for that scene.

# data[].attributes.body
I've shifted focus to work on the Switch Sports trailer first because Nicole has asked if I can provide any music for her to mix for her FYP. Since she prefers pop style music, I've decided to complete this first by week 8 for her to have sufficient time to mix the music.

I'm also helping her produce her composition (song), so do I include that in my FYP too?

This is the lead sheet written by Nicole.

The original chords were very repetitive, so I added chord extensions and changed some of them for more variety.

The song was initially arranged in a more Disney cinematic style, but the singer that Nicole found specialised in Chinese pop songs more than English songs. Thus, the arrangement after the first chorus was changed to hopefully fit that singer's style of singing more, with pop drums and bass guitar.

I'm not sure whether to add an electric guitar to this, but an acoustic guitar would probably be added in later parts. Also wondering if the orchestration is too thick for a pop song, or does it sound too cluttered and muddy?

# data[].attributes.body
Focused on continuing the background music first, as we will record the vocals next Thursday. As for the dynamics and phrasings of the strings that you suggested, I will tweak them later during the rough mix stage ^^ Nicole asked for a Disney style song, so I wrote the arrangement with a "character development" image in mind.

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to add more rhythmic elements while muting the main melody according to the movements. Do they sound forced?

The film students suddenly asked me to be the composer for their fyp project short film. It is a 17 minute short film that relies heavily on sound design (no dialogue at all until the last 2 minutes)

I was asked to write subtle underscores, but they really didn't specify which scenes needed music. (They weren't sure too). I plan to discuss about the direction of the audio with the sound designers (Leonard and Olivia) and see how it goes.

# data[].attributes.body
(Both scenes are in the folder) I worked on 2 scenes in this film, and this is the final draft for the music parts. It doesn't focus much on music, rather more on the sound design side. I've been told to keep my scoring minimal and only act as an underscore. Now awaiting the director's orders for any changes.

Nicole didn't have enough time to mix it, so I just did a rough mix. It will be mixed and mastered by her in the next semester.

The last part of the music is a small reference to the "Nintendo Wii Sports Resort theme", which has a key change and rhythmic change too. I'll include the link below.

For this 1st semester, I worked on 3 projects: Game trailer music, film scoring and song arrangement/production. Due to health conditions, I've not been able to follow the schedule set in the beginning of the semester, but in the end it still worked out, though I had to rush a little haha.

I plan to score/sound design a short animation that I'm going to get from a friend during semester break, and add that as part of my FYP too. Thank you for your patience and support throughout this sem Ms. Christine and Prof. Mayco! (Here's a photo of my cat ^^)

The instrumentals are done for the song, next week we will record the vocals, and I will make adjustments according to the quality of the recordings.

I wrote several tracks for the film, but in the end the director only wanted this one for a scene. This is only my version with the music.
