Devising and Planning a Sound track 3

1. The ways you might be asked to devise a soundtrack?

People who would work it out with -
Sound Mixer
Head of sound

Who else would be involved would be the director.

Spotting is where you would re-watch the production and spot the errors or decided whether to input sound elements.

Picture Lock is where you have finished the editing then you would then add sound after.

Best practice in recording sound securely is to test sound and play it back however plan B would be adding dialogue into the production by syncing it. 

2. Sounds i want, Where and how they will be sourced or recorded and purposes. 

- Door closing, Ambient sound (Live sound recording using a shot gun) This will be Diegetic. 

- Squeaky Steps, Ambient sound (Live sound recording using a shot gun)

3. Pre-production material 

- Location Report - To Be Done
(external sound threats, problem with location, strategies we have to work around problems)

- Potential equipment, what is it for?

Boom Mic - Is sound equipment tool type best used for natural hearing, best use of a boom mike point is point it the direction of where you want the sound recoreded.  
Clip Mic - record sound usually for live shows.
Cannon   - Camera equipment may be used of hand held
Zony Z5  - More advanced then the others, better quality.
Zony Z1  - Let advanced then Z5, Good quality.
Tri Pod  - Avoids shaky shots
Dolly    - To track or pan.

The software i intend to use for sound is freesound.org my production does not require a sound track of my own.

The Benefits and Drawbacks?
MP3  - It is a common audio format for consumer audio streaming or storage,  digital audio compression for the transfer and playback of music on most digital audio players. Mp3 Files are not large enough to edit with.
AIFF - It can store monaural, stereo, or multi-channel sound as used for, high quality. Comparable with Wave. commonly used in professional recording industries for many years.
Wave -  It is the main format used on window systems for raw and typically uncompressed audio, this stores the data in a chunk.

4. Explanations of the following and relevant issues connected with them.

- Public Domain Materials - This will allow you to use these materials as the public who are the ones who own it.

- Downloading from the internet ( share sites, ripping from youtube ) Downloading may be good for general public, but it is indeed stealing, finding that its a criminal offence can place yourself in court if you download then edit afterwards would not be a good idea.

- Licensed Music - music that already exists but you unable to use to as its licensed to protect their copy write.

- MCPS-PRS
This websites provides a way to perform or play copy write music, however the draw back is that it wont be yours. This will allow you to edit with songs/tunes that are illegal to use under their terms.
