5 Different ways of storing audio media.
- Tape
- USB Drive
- CD
- Memory Card
- Computer Hard Drive
live or recorded audio sent through radio waves to reach a wide audience.
radio broadcast
any sound,
other than music or speech, artificially
reproduced to create an effect in a
dramatic presentation, as the sound of a
storm or a creaking door.
Sound clips/effects
recording of an interview, meeting, or any sound from the environment.

combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. It is composed and performed for many purposes, ranging from aesthetic pleasure, religious or ceremonial purposes, or as an entertainment product.
Music
magnetic tape on which sound can be recorded.
Tape
a plastic-fabricated, circular medium for recording, storing, and playing back audio, video, and computer data.
CD
an external flash drive, small enough to carry on a key ring, that can be used with any computer that has a USB port.
USB Drive
is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable, or remote computing devices.
Memory Card
secondary storage devices found in personal computers and can store audio files
Computer hard drive
4 common audio file formats
- MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer)
- WAV
- M4A/AAC (MPEG-4 Audio/Advanced Audio Coding)
- WMA (Windows Media Audio)
a common format for consumer audio, as well as a standard of digital audio compression for the transfer and playback of music on most digital audio players
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer)
is a Microsoft audio file format standard for storing an audio bitstream on PCs. It has become a standard file format for game sounds, among others.
WAV
an audio coding standard for lossy digital audio compression. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves better sound quality than MP3 at similar bit rates.
M4A/AAC (MPEG-4 Audio/Advanced Audio Coding)
is an audio data compression technology developed by Microsoft and used with Windows Media Player.

5 Elements of Sound Design
- Dialogue
- Waterfall
- Sound Effects
- Music
- Silence
The objects or things that we must work with in Sound Design
Elements of Sound Design
speech, conversation, voice-over.
Dialogue
As first element fades out, the second element begins at full volume. Better for voice transitions, than for sound effects
Waterfall
any sound other than music or dialogue.
Sound Effects
vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.
music
absence of audio or sound.
Silence
The techniques for combining the different elements or objects in sound design
Principles of Sound Design
the combination, balance, and control of multiple sound elements.
Mixing
Time control. Editing. Order of events: linear, non-linear, or multi-linear.
Pace
How you get from one segment or element to another.
Transitions
Using left and right channel for depth.
Stereo Imaging
is a series of images projected on screen in rapid succession. The slight change of positions and movements of each image makes an illusion of motion.
Motion Picture
The individual images that change and move in rapid succession in a motion picture
Frames
The digital format in which most motion pictures are saved in
Video
A technique in which each frame is individually drawn by the artist or animator.
Traditional Animation
The art of creating animation using computer. It can be in a form of (2d) two-dimensional or three-dimensional (3d).
Computer Animation
A technique used to bring static objects create an illusion of movement. Object like clay figures, puppets and miniatures are often used by moving in increments while filming each for 1 frame.
Stop Motion Animation
A series of moving pictures that have recorded and shown on screens. It is recorded using a motion picture camera.
Film
Used for special effects like environment manipulation the and character models.
Computer Generated Images (CGI)
The use of CGI in films for special effects like environment manipulation the and character models.
Combination of Visual Effects
it sets up the context for a scene by showing large amount of landscape to establish general setting.
Extreme Long Shot/Establishing Shot
May show landscape but focuses on a specific setting where the action will take place.
Long Shot
Shows the entire object or character intended to place some relationship between characters and environment.
Full Shot
it shows the character from the waist up to let the viewers see the character’s facial expressions in connection with other characters or environment
Mid-Shot / Social Shot
it shows only a character’s face for the viewers to understand and empathize with the character’s emotions.
Close-up / Personal Shot
Shows and focuses on one part of the character’s face or object to create an intense mood of emotion.
Extreme Close-up Shot
