Over the course of the class, learners will study ways to record sound effects and foley sounds in the free applications GarageBand (Mac) and ProTools Intro (PC), edit sounds to make them louder or softer, design and layer sounds to make new sounds, using different objects and sounds to take the place of normal sounds, and choose from some short videos (nature, fantasy, or science fiction) and create your own sound effects to go with it!

I am a professional sound designer, Foley artist, and film score composer with experience in multiple short films and television shows. 

提供的家庭作業
This class has five assignments, one each week for Classes One through Five. Assignments are due the day before the next class. To encourage learners to apply what they've studied in class and not plagiarize sounds from other sources, they should create and record their own sounds (even if the computer program they use in class has pre-recorded sounds included). All assignments should be privately uploaded to me using the “Teacher” tab, found in the Classroom.

The Class One assignment is to record and export an audio file.

The Class Two assignment is to edit and export an audio file. The audio file will be provided in the classroom for learners to download. Upon approval from me, students can share their edited audio with their classmates! 

The Class Three assignment is to find sounds nearby that can be used to replace sounds commonly heard in movies. Upon approval from me, students can share their sounds with their classmates! 

The Class Four assignment is to choose a short movie from the provided options and submit a list of sounds that can be used.

The Class Five assignment is to showcase their finished movie! Upon approval from me, students will be able to play their movie in class for their classmates. Students with approval will also be given the opportunity to upload their project to the classroom for others to see.

Learners will receive a written and video response to their assignments. They will also have the opportunity to share with their classmates. 
提供的成績

Learners will need free applications to record and edit their sounds. If learners use a Mac, I recommend using Apple's GarageBand (linked elsewhere on this page). If learners use a PC, I recommend downloading the free application ProTools Intro (linked elsewhere on this page).
