Music Technology and CMST Assignment Brief - Multi-Media Tech Brief is in your booklets Creative Technologies Practical Produce a simple presentation based on the theme 'Leeds People and places', created in the form of a CD-ROM, incorporating various interactions. The presentation should include visual material you have developed in the Creative Technologies module. You should utilise skills developed in other modules to provide audio content for example, found or recorded 'actuality' sound, voice over material, or music compositions. Use 'Director' software to compile and structure the visual and audio material included in the presentation. The presentation must have the following structure and meet the content specifications outlined below for the different elements of the CD: - A front page which introduces the piece of work. It must include student name and ID number, and your course and module title. In addition it must include your project title and your student photo. As outlined above, these sounds may be: - 'actuality' sound (perhaps a sound 'collage') found pre-recorded sound original music compositions (e.g. midi generated and recorded as a .wav file) voice over / narration or a combination of the above as appropriate. NB Please do not attempt to record your own compositions for this project using the School' Recording Studio facilities. You may borrow portable recorders, which should be sufficient for accomplishing the tasks set out in this assignment. Overall, the multimedia CD ROM presentation must also include the following: - A 10 second long animation (e.g. created using Poser or 3D software) 20 Photoshop images. A series of appropriate audio clips. You may choose to incorporate the animation and additional images in any way you feel appropriate to support the theme of 'Leeds People and Places'.
