In the workshop this week we were given our first exposure into some sound recording equipment, in a Zoom Mic, and it was really interesting how much it seemed to enhance the sound around you, almost like a hearing aid or something, but I guess microphones serve that purpose, to amplify the noise around it.

We watched about half of the classes films as well, and they were pretty enjoyable, made me feel a little annoyed that I realised a matter of minutes too late that I might benefit from renting a lens to compound that which I already had, or a camera. Though I’m still pretty happy with how it turned out, my friends enjoyed it I think, and Cal thought it was nice. Though it still baffles me as to why he’s decided that F1 is “his sport”.

The collaborative contract was something we slowly pieced together, we took a little longer to do it than first thought, though we didn’t really end up recording much of an intro sound exercise, though we were able to get a pretty decent feel of the Zoom and learn how to avoid say allowing it to lead to clipping.
