In this lesson we worked on sound, and found out how important it is in a piece of media. We looked at Casino Royale. After analysising how sound is used in the clip the class went on to activities from Casino royale. The activities including adding appropriate sound to the scenes, reducing and adding sound and more. We then used a sound editor to include dialogue, special effects, and a soundtrack to a film clip. The task consisted of layering sound, dragging and dropping different sound features to the "storyboard" type panel.

Later, we went on to using a sound editing software on the Mac's. The feature allowed us to manipulate the given footage and add sound. The footage was of a little boy in a cafe, and an older man rummaging around for food. The ability to add sound to the footage was great, i really enjoyed it. It allowed me to create different moods, e.g. sympathy and suspense all through sound. The program had lots of different sounds from people to instruments. Although i thought the sound did a vast amount for the footage, the footage was quite good. The sound and footage work great together.
