Week 7: Sound for Screen
Week 7: Sound for Screen
Unit: Sound for Screen
Back from break, Urban Runner wraps up Monday with uploads and peer voting. The rest of the week is about making sounds from scratch: setting up the class microphones, recording found sounds, and transforming them with effects. Friday starts the Sound Design Project — pick a silent clip and build its whole soundtrack around a sound you recorded yourself.
