Class 2/6: Parts of an Audio Package
|
In class on Monday, we went over the next assignment for the course: an audio package. The elements of an audio package are as follows:
Research: Always research first. This could be research of a social, cultural, or political phenomenon that your story is trying to explore, research about the person you'll be interviewing or place you'll be recording in, or research on other types of a stories that have been told in this arena. If you don't know what to look for, you won't know how to recognize it when you find it! Sound effects: Buzzing crowds, footsteps, cash registers, glasses clinking on the bar, traffic speeding by--all of these things help you create a soundscape for your listeners that you can use to paint a picture before, after, or between your segments.
Wild track: This is the "room tone" of the sounds wherever you will be doing your interviewing.
