To properly represent the various sound effects you have utilized in a given project, you will need to organize a document that attributes the sources. This will be similar to maintaining the necessary paperwork that is required if you were to make a film or produce a show in the TV industry.
In this case, you will need to put the details in a Word document, which you will then upload as an attachment to a given Moodle assignment, when you submit a project for evaluation.
Your name must be part of the file name, such as:
- lastname_firstname_assignment_title_sound_effects_list.doc
Regarding the document itself, be sure to include, at the top-left of the page:
- Your name
- “Film Title”
- List of Sound Effects
- Date
Then, state the following details from the Sound Ideas interface (or alternative) when you access a database on the Emily Carr Library site.
To be efficient and to save time, you can copy and paste the information for the web browser you are using, into the Word doc However, you will have to organize the information so that it reads coherently.
[ Film Title ] uses many sounds from:
- The Sound Ideas Collection at <www.sound-ideas.com>
- Freesound at <www.freesound.org>
- Other sites at web URLs
Then, list the sound clips you have accessed from the database. The following are examples.
From Sound Ideas:
- Production Name (which is similar to the title of an audio album)
- Product Label (which is similar to a publisher)
- File names, such as:
- Ships bell, small, 8 bells
- File name <BellShip_DIGIJ02-67-4.mp3>
An example of a such a document, as a cue sheet or kind of bibliography is here. To access it, you will need to log on with your Emily Carr credentials. It’s hosted on my OneDrive space.
If you have accessed clips from Freesound, they have particular criteria to consider.
