Sound as a Pound

This week we are learning all about sound, from the history of movie scores to how to record sound for your own films. Don't forget the sound task is due in next Thursday.

In the meantime I am going to post some links to websites that feature short films, it is a good idea that you watch as many as you can in preparation for next term's coursework. Enjoy.
