Macauley Kavanagh is creating a final major project for their BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production in Games Design. Over several months, Macauley researched sound recording techniques, decided on a cut scene, borrowed college sound recording equipment, researched target audience statistics, acquired video footage, sent emails to game development companies, recorded sound effects, and edited sounds to sync with video footage, in preparation for their pitch which was rescheduled multiple times and will take place on March 14th, 2014.

Spent time researching various ways or recording, found a youtuber who has a series of very useful videos called Kaamos Sounds who has a large amount of videos
demonstrating the recording of various effects. This will be extremely useful.

Had issues with the video I acquired earlier, the format wasn’t usable with Adobe Premiere so I’m spending some time at home rendering it into a different format that will be
playable with Premiere pro.

After spending a few hours going through all the sounds that I previously recorded and making edits that I’d use for the project. I imported the new version of the cinematic this
time in an MP4 format that was readable by Adobe Premiere and began syncing the audio to it. Pitch was delayed by another week.
