This must be supported by annotated screen captures that show:

·         The effects plugins applied.

·         Clear explanations of what parameters have been adjusted.

·         Clear explanations of how effects applied have altered the sound of your original recordings. 

Your effects manipulated sound recordings must be uploaded to your SoundCloud account profile page. Accompanying screen grab annotations and produced sounds must be embedded into a blog post with the title Audio Recording VST Effects Manipulation.


                                                                                                                              

Audio Cut Sequence Raw Recordings.

4.

Record your audio cut sequence script in a recording studio environment. You must ensure that your dialogue is clearly recorded to a good technical standard. You are free to record yourselves and/or others when recording script dialogue.

All audio recordings must be renamed once produced to clearly indicate character names and dialogue spoken.

Audio recordings must be uploaded to your SoundCloud account profile page and embedded into a blog post in its unedited form with the title Audio Cut Sequence Raw Recordings.

                                                                                                                         

Ambient and directional sound production

1.

Use portable audio filed recorders to record 6 location ambient sounds and 6 focused directional sounds in a range of environments. Recorded sounds must feature altered file names that are specific to the location they were recorded.

You must also produce photographic evidence that clearly shows each person in your group using the portable sound recorders on location to capture ambient and directional sounds. These pictures can be taken using your mobile phone.

Recorded sounds must firstly be uploaded to your SoundCloud account profile page and embedded into a blog post with accompanying photographic evidence using the title Ambient & Directional Sound Recording Production.
