hey guys what's up and welcome back to
the channel now it is good to see you
here again and if it's your first time
here do consider subscribing to the
channel
if you want to see more content like
this now before i go any further i just
want to say thank you so much thank you
for the support so far
so today i just wanted to show you how
you can drastically improve
your video production by using sound and
not just any sound
but the right sound now it has been said
many times before that it is easier
to watch a badly produced video
with quality sound than it is to watch
a well-produced video with really
horrible
or bad audio so you've gone out and
you've filmed some really really great
footage you've brought it back into your
project and now it is time to add some
spice time to add some seasoning
and where i come from we season
everything except
ice and water so i'm going to show you
how we can do that here
and let's hop over to premiere pro and
get right into it so the first element
of sound that we are going to talk about
today is the music
now the music is the thing that is going
to set the mood for this
video or for your clip that you're going
to set the overall mode
and i'm going to show you what is i'm
talking about so
i have a few tracks that i've selected
and i'm gonna
go through this and explain to you why
certain things might work
and some might not and again it's
subjective you might find something that
you think might work
that someone else may not feel the same
way about
okay first of all let me just play the
clip without any music at all
okay now i'm going to add the music from
track number one
[Music]
so already we can see it's in mode is it
sort of
upbeat happy you can see in her
expression that she is free she is happy
bouncing through the forest and that's
kind of the mode that you want to
portray
within the music let's try track number
[Music]
two
[Music]
now this track is a little bit more
uplifting
it's not sad music so it still carries
the mood but it's a little bit
more relaxed and it okay it's okay and
maybe it would work but if maybe she was
in a long
flowing dress going across a meadow
bouncing along
i think that would fit a lot better in
that scene but you know she's very
casual here
and um let's try track number three
and see what we have here
so what did you guys think track number
one number two or number three what did
you think fit best into that let me know
in the comments below
but anyway i've also thrown in a track
in here that i think
wouldn't really work for this at all and
you know again i just want to give you
a bit of a comparison into what may or
may not work so let's hear
this track and see whether or not you
think that it fits into the scenario
[Music]
yeah not really i mean it's a bit jason
bourne-esque
but this is just to show you that
different music evokes different
emotions
and you have to know when it's right for
what scenario
okay so the next thing that we're gonna
move into is the sound effects
now like i said there is no audio on
this clip and so we have to recreate the
environment we have to recreate the
ambient sounds
and we have to look at what the
character is doing or what is taking
place on the screen
and try to insert sounds that would
match
the movement or the environment okay so
when i think about
sound design apart from music i think
about two things i think about the
ambient
environment or the ambient sounds and i
also think about the specific
sounds at the point that something
happens
so firstly i'm going to lay the ambient
sounds
for that environment
okay and now we start to get a little
bit more immersed
within this particular scene so we can
hear
what is happening there's a river
running in the background
there are birds chirping there's forest
sounds you might hear a bit of
wind or noise and you really start to
get a feel of what is happening
in this particular scene now that sound
effects is just one clip if you can see
on my timeline right here
it's just this one clip and all those
sounds represent
ambient forest sounds and these were
downloaded from Envato elements which
is the asset library that i use
to find sound effects and many other
different
video assets that i use for my videos so
now that we've laid the ambient sounds
down
um you can see that she is running
through the forest she's running through
the forest
floor and if there are twigs or branches
or leaves on the forest floor
she's going to be breaking those with
her feet and you will definitely hear
those
so that's what i want to add next i want
to add the cracking
and the breaking of the branches on on
the feet on the foot
yeah okay so these two tracks here where
i've got
my audio clips for the twigs and the
branches snapping
so i'm just going to play those and turn
the ambient off so you can hear these
and solo
so if you look at my timeline right here
you can see that i've had to move some
of these clips around
so that it syncs up with the way she's
walking within the clip
so when one foot goes down you hear
crunch
and then the other and other and so on
and
so forth so i'm just going to put the
ambient sounds back
in just going to play that with the
ambient
and under foot
okay so now that is the sound effect
side of things and you can really
go in really deep with sound effects and
you can make
layers and you can make sure that you
can hear every little thing sound design
you can go on for days but for
simplicity i'm going to keep it at that
what i'm going to do now is reintroduce
the music i'm going to introduce
the mood back into the clip and let's
hear how all of it sounds together
[Music]
there you have it guys that was a quick
sort of demonstration
to show you how sound affects your
overall
video now if you are wondering where you
can find sounds to put
in your video i'm gonna link to a couple
of free places
and there are also lots of paid
subscriptions where you can find
libraries with tons and tons of
sound effects now the one that i use is
Envato elements
and i don't just get the sound effects
the clip that i use today in this video
was from envato elements and it's a
subscription-based service
i've got a link below in the description
now this is not a sponsored video by
Envato elements
however i have an affiliate link that if
you use it then i would also
get a little bit back from it to help me
with this channel as well
but that is it today that is it today
guys um i hope you found this useful
do consider subscribing to the channel
if you haven't already done so and i
will see you guys
on the next video peace
