End of Week 2

# What was your plan for this week?

Task A1, A2, C1

# What did you actually do this week?

What happened this week was the completion of A1 and A2 and deliverables were logged, and C1 is still ongoing as there is a fault with my primary audio recorder and will be replaced this wednesday if all goes well. Failing that I will need to arrange to record solely in my studio and use the recording I managed to take with the DR-07 before it stopped working completely.

The new PC has arrived and most programs have been transfered to it, one is still to come Sony Vegas Pro 9, which should arrive shortly. Also Recycle arrived aswell as film sound design book and Evolved has been fully comprehended and can be used with pro tools successfully as it has invaluble resource instruments for sound effect creation.

# If there are any differences between items 1 & 2, please explain why.

C1 was not fully completed due to a fault of the manufacturer so the deliverable has not been added as of yet.

# What worked well this week?

The titan PC has been tested to various degrees and so far has shown great results in being able to handle what I need to do and more. Also the only recording which I took with the DR-07 is actually not bad and might be used in the final edit.

# What did not work so well this week?

Few hiccups here and there having the DR-07 die on me when I needed it the most ( when it was raining) was not helpful and I will need to wait till it rains again before recording that source.

# What have you learned this week?

To be the best you have to constantly explore new options and ideas and experiment with sound, and to record all the time.

# Describe all the items that have been added to your portfolio this week?

Task deliverables A1 and A2

# Do you have any other comments to make?

Not fully comprehending the significance of A1 and A2 in terms of evidence will show if I only use the material I have written I sense that for the final dissertation I will need to be more aggressive in persueing answers.

I will need to print off more sheets and re read my deliverables and assess my position at this time to make the big deadline of doing all the films by mid march - I am very worried about not making something well done and creative.
