Creative Project
This page aims to satisfy the criteria of Creative Project, which is a core module in the BSc Audio Engineering course.
The core task of this project is to "Plan, develop and implement a practical based project to a given brief and delivered as a
professional portfolio."
We then had to choose one of three options, which were;
1.
Live option; You should plan and record a live band at a venue. This
should involve pre-production liaison, technical planning,
identification of resources and agreed completion stages. The
final recording should be multi-tracked on the night of the
performance and then mixed to a stereo file
2.
Studio option; You should produce a 3 track release. This should involve pre-production liaison, demographics, creative planning,
identification of resources and agreed completion stages. The
final product should be presented as a ‘showreel’ portfolio
3.
Multimedia; You should provide a portfolio of sounds effects for a proposed
video. This could involve creative synthesis or Foley or a
combination of both. Additionally, you should choose a short
video clip (< 1 minute), to over-dub that demonstrates diegetic
and non-diegetic components. Your submission should be
presented in a portfolio.
Additionally, on completion of the task, a 1500 word evaluation should then be produced.
The Studio option was chosen for this task. Following choosing this option, a discussion was had with the Creative Project lecturer, Neil Innes, who agreed that my proposed plan to record Huddersfield based Indie-rock band, Just Suppose, was a good one. As such, the wheels were set in motion for a 5-track EP to be recorded during two weeks in December.
