for enhancement and manipulation  Tint - a color or a variety of a color;
 Opening image in lightroom is different hue
 Exposure - amount of light per unit
area reaching a photographic film or
electronic image sensor

1. Check/choose pictures in the library pictures
2. Click Develop  Black – Darkest part or shadows
that turned black
Importance of histogram – Identifier  White – Brightest portions of the picture
 Clarity – Emphasizes texture
 Vibrance - smart-tool which cleverly increases the intensity of the
more muted colors and leaves the already well-saturated colors
alone
 Saturation – Intensity of colors in the image
TONE CURVE – A tab where you can further
improve highlights, lights, darks and
shadows
- You can also mess around the line,
We should be able to balance out the histogram without shadow or
that alters the elements
brightness clippings.

An indicator of a good histogram is that the colors should be at the middle

and there should be no clippings (high area) on both ends
 HSL Tab – A tab where you can further  Readable Media – This is limited to the words, vocabulary and
enhance the Hue, Saturation and pronunciation although you can easily backtrack
Luminance

ADVANTAGES OF AUDIO OVER VISUAL

 Can be used by disabled people although deaf can’t hear

 More portable; you can hear just by pressing a single button
 Not attention-seeking
 Audio is cheaper compared to a TV set
 Also sometimes cheaper than literature or text

Color Tab – A tab where you can enhance the colors of the picture OUTPUT – based on hardware, we cannot fully enjoy audio on cheap
hardware

B&W – A tab where you can play around

with the black and white colors. Useful for MEDIA USAGE:
black and white shots.

future usage
- Can be illegal
ADOBE AUDITION - Wire tapping: illegal use of sound recording
SOUND vs READABLE MEDIA - For gathering information, storing sound/information in a
medium for future use

- Tries to distort, change and block the message
EDITING – modifying
TONE – characteristic of sound itself
PITCH – range of highness/lowness; determined by level of frequency
VOLUME – can be different in things, comes in different shape
(treble, midtone, bass)
→ LEVELS – actual intensity of sound; sound travels (the wave
- Humans can hear 20-20,000 hz
travels); you can adjust/design a sound without earphones by
 MIDTONE – Frequency of the human voice, not low, not high but in
monitoring the levels
the middle

 Infrasound – Below 20 hz
ELEMENTS OF SOUND EDITING:

1. DIALOGUE – speech created by people; includes digital dialogue;

text to speech
2. SOUND EFFECTS – imitate another sound; includes ambient sounds

AMBIENT SOUND – BACKGROUND; ENVIRONMENT; BIRDS

CHIRPING; TRUCK PASSING BY
 3. MUSIC – combination of instruments; sometimes has lyrics TYPES OF TRANSITION
4. SILENCE – absence of sounds
5. NOISE – Lack of preparation of sound design
1. Segue - Audio1 stops then Audio 2, no effect used, automatic next.

2. Fade Out – Audio goes lower and lower

MULTITRACK – playing multiple sounds playing

ELEMENTS OF COMBINING SOUNDS: * Fade in – From low audio to high

1. MIXING – controlling/balancing sound clips or sound elements; * Cross fade – While audio 1 fades, audio 2 comes in from low volume to
intensifying a sound level to make it desirable high
2. PACING – controlling the time of the particular sound; plays with
tempo (how fast/slow); 3. Waterfall- While audio 1 fades, audio 2 comes in at normal volume

NOT ALL PACING IS TEMPO BUT ALL TEMPO IS PACING

Microphones - primary input tool for audio recording

3. EDITING – different from mixing; re-arranging order of sound Two types of Microphones
a. LINEAR – focuses on single file; change events from one source
only 1. Dynamic Microphone - Simple in nature, for karaokes. Strong, sturdy and
b. NON-LINEAR – multiple files ; change from different sources durable. The thing inside this is spiraled and circular copper. The benefit of
- Multiple sound clips, 2 songs using this is it can record loud volume of sounds but it is not capable of
- Narrative is lost recording low sounds (like bass and noise). It cannot record high and low
4. STEREO IMAGING – we use multiple output channels; left and right; frequency.
visualize a particular sound
2. Condenser Microphone - Expensive because of its accuracy when it
LEFT – instruments comes to recording. Higher fidelity. It has diaphragm (parang sa tyan natin
pag pinapalo natin tas may sound diba? ganun sya ka sensitive sa sound), it
RIGHT – vocal
has higher sensitivity to high frequency. It cannot record loud sound. It
CHANNEL – Output source needs sound proof studio.

 5 tv sets playing 1 channel (Mono) Microphones, in terms of how they pick up:
 5 tv sets playing different channels (Stereo)
1. Undirectional or Cardioid - Only one direction is covered.
SURROUND SOUND – Output is input

VISUALIZATION – Making an illusion of surround sound despite having less

2. Bidirection - Two directions are covered. (left and right only or front and
channels (Earphones)
backward)
3. Omnidirectional - The whole area is covered.
Gain - The sensitivity of the microphone to the sound.
Two types of headphones

1. Close back - It has noise isolation. you can only hear the sound from your Audition - It has the most complex tools. It can easily set the quality of the
earphones. Konti lang yung hangin na pumasok kaya di masyadong sound.
maganda ang tunog, typically gawa sa leather. Not comfortable.

2. Open back - You can hear the noises. Made from foam and comfortable.
Nagkakaroon ka ng sound stage.

* Sound stage - you feel like you are actually there.

* Virtualization - You feel like sounds are in all direction.

Headphones VS Earphones

* Head phone has better quality and higher fidelity

* Earphones are portable.

Headset or earset - The word “set” means they have microphones.

Digital Analog Converter or DAC - It transforms your digital songs to sound

waves.

Electric Noise - The sounds inside our devices. (kunware yung mga sounds
pag pinipindot natin yung mga buttons sa phone)

Amplifiers - Increases the output of the sound or increases the power

output of the device.

Egg tray - DIY sound proofs.

Pop filter- reduces the sound of letter B and Malulutong na tunog.
