In the tute post mid semester break after brainstorming ideas and individuals to whom we were focussing out project brief three on, we broke off into pairs and did microphone exercise to familiarise ourselves with the recording equipment, and realise the different results created through different atmospheric influences, such as size of space, background noise, natural acoustics and the impact which a point and record can have.
I found this exercise enlightening as it enabled a hands on learning approach to new equipment to which I had not used before.
