Week 3: Finish Podcasts + Intro to Sound Design
Week 3: Finish Podcasts + Intro to Sound Design
Unit: Podcasts
Students wrap up the Podcasts unit on Monday. They apply recording and editing best practices from the Podcast Recording & Editing Guide, finish and export their podcast as an MP3, upload it to CTLS, and listen to and leave constructive comments on their classmates’ work.
Unit: Sound Design
Students begin the Sound Design unit on Tuesday. They learn how to sync and shape audio for video by working through three progressively independent projects: scoring a Rocket League animation with provided sounds, producing a full soundscape for the Agent 327 short film, and recording their own found sounds to transform with GarageBand plugins. The week closes with a collaborative class activity designing a sound effect for a Minecraft character.
