Monday is an important class, since it’s our only meeting during the week after spring break. To prepare, please complete the three short readings listed on the course calendar. Also, I would like you to come to class on Monday 3/16 with an example of a sound design that you think is effective, and one that you think is ineffective. The designs can come from movies, TV commercials, video games, etc. Actually have the link and I want you to show me that you have done the reading and have thought about it in terms of the examples you’re bringing to class. Generally, participation in class has been pretty poor and I have the sense that reading assigned for class is either low priority, or in some cases totally ignored.
Lastly, please read over the Sound Design Mini Project guidelines and go through the three tutorials linked in that assignment. The tutorials are for Adobe Premier. If you have never edited video before and you purchased Creative Cloud, I recommend learning video editing with Premier. If you have never edited video before and you did not purchase Creative Cloud, you may choose to use a different program such as iMovie. Tutorials are everywhere online. Begin thinking of ideas for this project over spring break.
Today, I would like to troubleshoot any issues you are having with Project 2 and then take some time to get familiar with Audacity. While you may choose the software for video editing, I would like everyone to use Audacity for audio editing. Unlike video editing, it does not really have a rival in terms of popularity or the amount of documentation/support available online.
