SUMMARY
Role: Sound Design
I helped the team with pre production stuff and I couldn’t help with production of the film because I was not present that week.
Intention (SMART Goal)
To learn about sound design and recording sound for films. I wanted to record sounds for our film and try to record dialogue too.
To record 3 sources of audio.
I wanted this to be my goal because I believe that this will help me in the future of this class. The sound design role seemed a bit overwhelming at first, but when I started to learn the process of recording I realized how simple the audio process was. I can realize if I met my goal if I can successfully record and import audio files.
PRE-PRODUCTION – INQUIRY

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION
21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
One of the examples of problem solving is when I learned how to use the audio equipment when I had almost no time left to learn. I was critically thinking when I test our teams links to our slides and film. The links were private so I corrected the links accessibility.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
Our team communicated and worked together on all parts of the film all the way through pre and production.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
The sound and audio equipment given to us to use, cameras, lights, light stands, tripods, and computers to work on.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
I was a bit worried during production because I was not allowed to go to school for 4 days and I could not help with the film and production at all.
Reactions to the Final Version
One of the comments to the film was having good song/background noise and it made the film more suspenseful.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
Looking back at the production, I would have tried to record and add ambience sound, dialogue, room tone, and maybe try to make my own music.
What I Learned and Problems I Solved
I learned how to use the audio devices provided, the best settings for recording, and importing the audio recorded.
