For this project the objective is for students to gain technical skills in the acquisition, manipulation, production and presentation of sound as a form of design & communication. After reviewing several examples of audio narratives and taking part in a demonstration on the proper use of microphones, field recorders and editing tools, students will create an multi-track audio narrative that will include recording a voice over, environmental sound, and sound effects. Students will then integrate these elements using Garage Band or other comparable audio editing software. For this project students are required to research and plan their project and to gather their sound materials as homework outside of class. The final piece should be 1 to 2 minutes in length - though slightly longer pieces are acceptable.
