editing (draft)

So we were given the task to create a draft sound clip using an old fashioned video clip, to do this I used the sounds that I have been recording in the past couple of weeks and I feel the end result came out quite well. and I'm looking forward to starting on my final edit.






As you can see from the screenshot I have different layers of sounds that of which I got from recording with the various different microphones, I tried to play around with some sounds; for example I used the sound of a moaning cat when the man wakes up in my clip and I feel that this has allowed me to understand you can use any sound to recreate anything as long as you make it fit in well.

week 2 (senheisser K6)

This week we used the senheisser K6 to go round campus and record various sounds so that we could get an understanding on how the mic works, we used this specific mic as when put close to something it records a clear sound as apposed to a standard mic. We recorded sounds such as: walking in gravel, smashing glass and dripping water, once we retuned back to class we uploaded the sounds onto the computer so we could then listen to them and the outcome was very interesting.

field test

Today we took the hydrophone out to the beach and casted it out into the sea so that we could get various different sounds caused by the sea, we also used the senheisser K6 to record various sounds around the seafront which we could then incorporate into our sound piece, as the senheisser K6 gives us the ability to get clear and crisp sounds that of which we could not obtain with a standard mic.

testing mics in the classroom

This week we started to test different mics in the classroom, specifically we looked at the hydrophone which we put in various liquids to see the what sound we could achieve from it, we also looked at the contact mic which involved sticking the mic onto electrical appliances and then seeing what different sounds we could get depending on what electrical appliance we put it on.
