Week 6: Quiz, then Sound for Screen
Week 6: Quiz, then Sound for Screen
Unit: Melody and Form
Monday is the quiz on music reading and form.
Unit: Sound for Screen
From Tuesday the class becomes the entire soundtrack. Everyone scores the same silent clip — Urban Runner — in Soundtrap, starting from nothing. Tuesday lays the ambience bed and syncs the first coin. Wednesday adds the vehicles and shapes their volume automation so a truck approaches and passes the way a real one does. Thursday is Foley: chopping a footstep recording into individual steps and placing each on the frame a foot hits the ground. Friday, the last day before Thanksgiving break, you finish the scene; you upload it and vote when we are back.
