Technology

I have learnt a number of things about different technologies that can be used to construct media products, firstly to record my entire project including the preliminary task, I used a SURE SM58. For the different sound effects and some of the music I used the BBC sound effects Library. The software I used to create the piece of media was Adobe 1.5. With the Adobe software, I was able to take pieces of music or recorded voices and edit them , e.g. I compressed some of the voices to create the sense of someone having a more powerful and mighty voice, I used this technique in my show Jingle. By using the Adobe multitrack I was able to overlap different files to create one final piece or final, for example, the multitrack board came in handy when I was adding background noises to the interviews, to create the sound of a pedestrian town area.

Aswell as using a microphone with an anti pop guard, some recorded voices were still not as clear as I wanted them, to overcome this, I used Adobe Audition to remove some clicks and errors in peoples voices. Adobe Audition allowed me to easily mix several pieces of music and sounds through the use of the multitrack option. The software also allowed me to fade voices in and out and play around with the tones of peoples voices. 

The multitrack system was the most important and useful feature of Adobe audition, as it meant I could add sounds and peoples recored voice notes on to one file, and edit the duration of the sound and the order they were placed in the track.
