Summary - New: 3rd Edition

In this unit pupils will learn how sound is digitized and stored on computers. They will learn basic sound editing techniques and how to add sound effects and mix tracks. Ways of creating different sound effects (the job of a “Foley artist”) are described. Pupils will undertake a creative project to analyse, plan, record and edit a short sound file. This could take the form of a radio advertisement or short podcast. Assessment will be by means of an Assessment Portfolio, to include a description, critical review and evidence of an advertisement planned and recorded by the pupil, and a self-evaluation.

What people say...

I am stunned at the PG Online resources – really professional and high quality for teachers to save time and brilliant to immediately engage pupils. A must-try for NQT's, non-specialist and qualified teachers. Thank so much PG Online for your helpful service as well.

Rachel Shelton. Department of Design Technology, Staffordshire

PG Online have been a lifesaver for good quality schemes of work. The resources are really well thought out, really well paced and the homeworks and assessments test the core understanding of each lesson. I have also found the textbooks to be a great course companion. 

Phillip McKenzie. Head of Computer Science, The Kings School
