1. Task 7 Evidence
Task 7 part A
For part A, I was tasked with making a sequence of sounds using only the fade function. I
used a range of walking sounds, breaking glass, and firearms to create a scene in which a
man has gone to a woman’s home in the night in the winter, has proceeded to lure her down
the corridor to her door, then break down the door and shoot her. In a fit of amusement the
man also laughs before burning the home down with a Molotov cocktail.
Task 7 part B
For part B, I was introduced to the Pan and Volume editors, and was tasked with editing a
small group of clips to get used to the Pan and Volume editing. The Pan function is used to
change which speaker/direction a sound is played from, and the Volume function is used to
make a sound quieter or louder. I used a “Horses galloping” clip, then edited it so it got
louder then quieter, and so that it went from the left side of a sound projection hardware to
the left. I made it get louder faster than it gets quieter to try and duplicate the doppleganger
effect. I also added some “Cold wind” and made it travel fom left to right frequently and used
a longer lasting doppleganger effect to make the wind feel all around but passing by.
2. Task 7 part C
For part C I was tasked with experimenting on sounds using the media properties window. I
was told to use 4 of the same sounds: the first would stay unchanged, the second would
have a pitch change, the third would have a rate change, and the fourth would have both a
change in pitch and rate.

4. Task 7 part D
For part D I was introduced to the plugin effects, and was tasked with editing a single sound
with them to get a feel for what the plugins did and how I could use them for a certain
purpose. I tried 3 different plugins with varying effects, but settled on 2 of the plugins. I tried
out the Ambience plugin, which is good for making ambient sounds out of existing assets;
the BatteryAcid plugin, which is good for just warping and making a sound demented; and
the Glitch plugin is an interesting one, but I didn’t utilize it fully, as I just randomized all of the
boxes that could be randomized. Funnily enough however, I managed to change a sound
with “Rain and thunder” to sound like a factory. I would show you the actual settings the
plugins were using and which ones were active, but the usual PC I work on was having
some issues, so for the time being, here is proof I fooled around with he 3 plugins.
