Level 2 Creative Media Production

Evaluation for Unit 4 - Task 2 Aim C. The brief of my audio work is completed. I have done this by analysing the techniques i have used in my photography and how this has benefited me and the audience. I have then audio recorded my interview and acapella with my peer. I have firstly recorded testing audios as pre sessions to ensure that it is capturing my voice clearly with good quality, then i recorded both my interview and acapella. The aims of my brief was to create a audio recording for a audio recording company so they could use it for their training courses. Before i started to create a audio, i had to ensure that i had a wide knowledge about the background of audios and its recordings and what type of equipment is needed to record audios, most importantly, how to record and what is the best recorder to use. I have therefore then created two audios in two different environments and two different acoustics. The planning for my audio went very smooth and swiftly, i quickl...

Unit 4 - Task 1 Aim C. It states that ‘you must use appropriate equipment to produce audio recordings. Your recordings must be creative and clear’ In order to make sure i achieve this, i would need to get the appropriate recording. I have chosen to use my phone whilst applying the headphones to the phone jack to make it clearer and also a microphone that captures a lot of high quality sound. I have chosen to record in a quiet sound proof room that would pick up the best quality for audio. The microphone that i would be using is a rode microphone which does not need batteries therefore i could speak for ages and question my interviewee. It is very useful as i would just need to plug it in and let it stand there without having to be fussy by bringing it back and forward when speaking which is a handheld microphone which may not capture all the sound but this microphone is steady and fixed therefore it would be beneficial in many ways. It states that ‘you must use two different ...

Unit 4 - Task 3 Aim B This pro-production report would be expressing the importance on professional recording and editing equipment, and on recording techniques and procedures. Digital Recording Devices. A solid state (disk), which is also known as a SSD, has the same function has hard drives which includes the internal and based on a semiconductor. This simply means that solid state electronic devices are created by solid components that do not actually move. An example of this would be; computer motherboards and even integrated circuits and flash memory devices. A digital recording device simply means that the device converts sound such as audio into a folder (file) that is digital which allows the movement of one electronic device to another device that is probably used in a computer and smartphone. A Audacity is a common audio editor and recorder software that is used to edit and record audio. This is a free editor that is used on MAC, Windows and Linux syst...

Unit 4 - Task 2 Aim B In this report, i would be attempting to explain my understanding of microphone types, characteristics, and their suitability for different acoustic environments, and explaining and comparing the different types of constructions in microphones. Types of Microphones Handheld microphone: This type of microphone is where a person holds the handle, where people can pick up and hold to make a speech, announce something or sing. These type of microphones are commonly used in live shows, music artist performances, events as it is easier to perform and move about whilst holding the microphone, some have cables but some do not, and are very hard to break. Lavalier microphone: This type of microphone is where a small microphone is attached to a person’s collar or top, and is mainly used in TV shows, theatres, public shows such as circuses. This allows them to speak without the constant reminder to hold onto a frame it allows them to use their body for actio...

Unit 4 - Task 1 Aim B Basic Principles of sound and acoustics Sound: sound is a wave caused by combined vibrations which is moved through another form such different types of solids and gas and liquids, it is important to explain that sound is different to noise, sound is a wave of combined vibrations whereas noise is irregular shifts. Sound is travelled in air particles and sent via waves to another humans ear or even animal. A key factor is that sound travels faster than light. Acoustics: Acoustics simply mean that different type of properties in a a room determines the sound. This includes, height and the density of the air, and the quality of the properties such as the furniture and materials used in the room. These property qualities have a influence and determine how the sound is reflected upon how hard objects are. For example, studios for  dance and music recording have soft damping boards on the walls which is made out a type of acoustic foam this reduces the a...
