Skills audit: Live Type and Sound

SOUNDTRACK PRO:
I learnt various things after first using Soundtrack pro which i felt would be very useful for when we begin to create our actual Thriller opening. The first thing that we learnt how to use was the search tab, from this we entered the different sounds which are in files such as Genre files, Instrument files, sound effect files and more. Once i found a sound i wanted to place on the sound board i dragged the file for example Digital Piano loop 52. Once i gathered enough sounds on the soundboard i could listen to it all together as one collective sound.

When i first began to use Livetype i found it quite interesting but hard to maneuver, after my teacher taught me how to type in what i wanted to be said and change fonts and effects i found it much easier and created a practice title with a large uppercase font as i saw in the opening for the film Se7en and thought it would be a good way of displaying titles. I learned how to drag the titles created onto the time line and shorten or extend for however long i want it to be played for. I thought that for a opening sequence only up to 3 seconds they should be shown each.
