  • Voice, Music and Sound Effects
  • The human ear can hear anything between 20Hz to 20,000Hz
  • On the software, you'll see a waveform instead of a wavelength (this will be in Sine form)

  • 2 channels, left and right (stereo)
  • Recording voice is related to stereo
  • Two types of microphone: Onboard mic and an External mic (Shotgun Directional) aka a 416
  • Why record with two microphones? - Onboard mic records ambient sounds & the voice, the External mic records only the voice. Also, it is better to have two recordings as it is possible for one mic to break. Having two microphones means you'll have a backup.

Sound is everything that can be heard in a scene. The key elements of sound are: Location sound Music Dialogue Sound Effects Types of Sound in Media Diegetic is sound that comes from a scene, whether it is off or on camera, it is still diegetic as it is made through the origin of the film world. Examples of diegetic sounds are talking, cars or vehicles and glass breaking/ gun fire. Non-Diegetic sounds are mainly music or soundtracks added during the film's post-production. An example of non-diegetic sound is the music you'd associate with a specific character, which usually plays whenever the character is on the screen. Crescendo sound is the build up of music that is used to suggest that something (usually bad) is about to happen. Examples of this would be every time a jump-scare is about to happen in horror movies. On the other hand, a Diminuendo is where the music dies down to imply that the threat has gone away. Another type of sound that goes wit...

Risk Why is there risk assessments? The Risk assessment exists because it is important that you and others (potentially) are protected and insured. It is also important that you know how likely someone getting hurt or equipment getting damaged is.  How do you fill out a risk assessment? Start by filling in the hazard reference which outlines what the risk actually is i.e. Trip or Slip, Explosion and Confined Spaces. Next, fill in the Hazard Description, which is basically a more in-depth description of the hazard. Make sure to underline the people that are at risk and fill out what control measures you can take to prevent these hazards from happening. Shooting Log TC stands for Timecode - which is when a take starts on the timeline. In take, label all the takes from one scene and circle which was the best take.

Induction

Day One In the morning, I was introduced to the lecturers Justin, Luke, Tony and Sophia who told us about the course and what we'd be doing for the next 3 Terms. Afterwards, we where set a task to try and see who could find the most about our peers (whom most of us didn't know). During this activity I met Talitha, Sophie, Matt and other students who are on the course. Later, before lunch I did a treasure hunt around the college with Palina. This was a way to get us to understand the layout of the campus and find places that would be useful to us I.e the Library, the Shop and Marie’s office. This was really fun and competitive but also educational as I didn’t know much about the layout of the college. (Photo taken from the school's shop). When we came back from lunch, we where split into groups of two or three and introduced to a “Induction Project”. I was in a team with Patrick and Lukas then the teams had to randomly select an object. Our object...
