An introduction to sound

On Tuesday, Chris gave us an introduction the sound studio, he informed us of the rules which we must follow while in the studio. These rules are:-

• No food or drink
• look after your ears (When wearing headphones avoid having sound on a high volume which may damage your ears)
• Bend your knees when you are picking up heavy equipment (So you don't strain your back
• No trip hazards/Don't leave exposed wires hanging on the floor
• ID badges on display at all times

After Chris went through the rules with us, he then introduced us to the mixing deck there were many dials, buttons and levers across the the deck but each column was dedicated to a "channel" each channel had the same dials, buttons and levers and they were:-

• Gain
• High
• Mid
• Low
• Mon
• Digital Effects
• Pan

Hopefully this year with sound will be interesting and I look forward to see what the future will hold

This is my attempt on making a corridor and adding 6 spotlights at the corridor

Spotlight

Today on 3D max I learnt how to use lighting in 3d Max, I used multiple Target Spots on a plane and changed their colours between red, blue, yellow and green, I changed the angle of each light for different directions till they all eventually met in the middle to make a white light. I then added a Teapot model in the middle and placed another spotlight shining directly at the teapot with a shadow added to it to get the effect at the end
