Unit 73 Planning an Audio Production

Brief Introduction
This blog post will detail all the information on my the audio work i will be including for my part of the 3D environment, including the equipment i will use, any scripts i will need, people (both actors and musicians), professional examples of audio production, sound effects and my audio storyboard. (This post will be constantly updated with new information and updates/changes to my planning).

Audio Storyboard

the audio storyboard is a version of a storyboard that mainly or entirely pertains to the planning, structure and implementation of the audio in a media production, i will be including 2 separate audio storyboards in this post. the first storyboard and the one i will be including in this section is to do with the planning of all audio in my 3D environment, the second is of the production of all audio included in my interactive story, so shall be included in that section.

There are several ways that an audio storyboard can be created however i will be creating it in an Excel document (as shown in the example below).

I will also apply a key to the interactive story's storyboard so i can easily recognize where sounds/music will play during the animation.

Interactive Story

As my section of the environment is the location of one of the interactive stories, I will be attempting to create a script based on the news article.

This script will be read out by one of the actors from the MSW tour, this readout will then be placed over/into an animation of the story (created in flash) possibly based of the art style of Roy Lichtenstein an American pop artist. Which will be drawn and animated by me.

For the audio portion of the interactive story i plan on using the recording studio to record the actor(s) reading the script.
