Level 2 Creative Media Production

You must now evaluate your audio work. To do this, you must consider if your audio work is: meeting the aims of the brief adhering to original idea and plan. You must then consider: the strengths of your audio (what worked well?) areas for improvement (what could be better?). You should use an appropriate way of presenting your evaluation. - Meeting the aims of the brief - With my audio work, I believe that it has met the aims of the brief because when constructing my audio pieces I have looked at the brief specifically each way, analysing each specific area for what is needed to done, and I followed the brief questions and assessment while doing my audio work. I met the aims of the brief by going step by step from the brief and completing all of the tasks from all the different Aims - Aim A, Aim B, Aim C. I followed and completed all the pre-production, So on Aim A I have demonstrated successfully about two different sectors and in media, and I spoke successfully

You must produce three clear audio recordings in different environments. The first stage is pre-production. You must produce a planning portfolio that contains, for example: dialogue/sound script equipment list sound logs timing plans recording schedule sound checks, e.g. interior, exterior, setting of recording levels copyright clearances health and safety (risk assessment). You must ensure that you: produce an equipment list requisition/book equipment confirm contributors/talent arrange recording date. - You must then put your planning into practice to produce your audio recordings. You will undertake the recording of your audio products using the following stages: source, connect and test recording equipment conduct sound level check start recorder cue contributor record audio log recordings import audio to editing application edit recording export recorded audio

You must use appropriate equipment to produce audio recordings. Your recordings must be creative and clear. - For my audio recording I will need the appropriate equipment to record, so what I will be using is my own microphone which is a very HD great quality microphone called the Blue Yeti Microphone - Stereo - Midnight Blue. With this microphone I will be recording my audio in a small sound proof room, or anywhere quiet enough to record audio and pick up the best audio, because I will also be using my own Pop filter on my microphone so I can have the best audio quality possible. Also, with my blue yeti microphone it's d irectionality of the microphone is :  Omnidirectional, Unidirectional, Bidirectional and this is very useful, because it allows me to record audio all around the microphone by changing the setting on the little turning wheel on the microphone to choose which direction you want the audio to be recorded at; in the front only, the back, the sides only, all over o

The final section of your pre-production report will be focused on professional recording and editing equipment, and on recording techniques and procedures. You must add a final section to your pre-production report that evaluates the importance of different techniques and procedures when recording audio. This will inform the production of your own audio work. You must include information on recording and editing equipment, such as: solid state, digital recording devices in current use, e.g. Audacity (freeware), Bias Peak, Adobe ® Audition, Pro Tools, Cubase, Audiodesk handheld and portable digital audio recorders, e.g. Zoom, Olympus ® , Alesis, Tascam, Yamaha ® , Roland, Sony ® , Fostex, Marantz sound in-camera (fixed or detached microphone on camera) desktop recorders mono/stereo recording devices multi-track recorders. For my pre production I will be talking about the importance of different techniques and the procedures when recording audio. I

You must now demonstrate your understanding of microphone types, characteristics, and their suitability for different acoustic environments. To do this, you will add a new section to your pre-production report that compares different types and construction of microphones, their characteristics and uses in different environments. You must address the following headings in your report: types: handheld, lavelier, direct connected, boundary microphone, parabolic, noise cancelling, radio microphones, (transmitter, receiver, interference) construction: dynamic, (capacitor, electric, condenser), ribbon characteristics: polar response: omni-directional, uni-directional; cardioid, hyper-cardioid (heart-shaped response), bi-directional (figure of eight) design limitations: proximity effect (bass tip-up), effect of inverse square law on distance of sound source from microphone mounts: stands, tie-clip, rifle, boom, equipment mounted, handheld connectors: mono jack,
