Crit Document
Project Concept:
Is to create an underwater soundscape from the point of view of the whale which will help to highlight the increase of manmade noise pollution.
Project Plan:
Is to have the listener believe they are lying/sitting on the whales back as the whale makes it journey across the ocean and they will hear all the sounds as they pass from every direction.
Cue Sheet Script:
| Project Title | Director | Scene | Sheet |
| Time | Sound | Duration Seconds | Directions / Processing |
| 0:00 | Waves | 5 | Centre |
| 0:05 | Whale sounds | 10 | Panning Left to Right |
| 0:13 | Shipping Vessel | 7 | Panning Back to Front |
| 0:21 | Whales Blowhole | 4 | Centre |
| 0:23 | Shipping Vessel Horn | 3 | Panned far Right at reduced volume |
| 0:24 | Tale Splash | 3 | Panned Behind |
| 0:26 | Sholes of Fish | 4 | Panned Right to Left |
| 0:28 | Whale sounds | 5 | Panning Left to Right |
When thing about how I am going to recreate or emphasize the sounds in my underwater soundscape I had to consider which effect I would and most probable have to use to get the best result for my final product.
This is just a list of some off the effects that I will be using:

Draft Test Questions
1. When listening to my soundscape can you decried what sounds you heard?

2. On a scale from 1 to 5 how realistic did the soundscape sound? (Please circle)
Non realistic Realistic
1 2 3 4 5
3. If it sounds less realistic can you explain why or describe how you feel it was not realistic?

Forward Planning
I have sent an email to all the sea life centres in Scotland to ask if I could do some live recordings in their tanks. I got a reply from Macduff Marine Aquarium in Banff just outside Aberdeen which I am in the process of finalising after I nail down my interview questions.
I am going to start gathering my sound effect such as whales singing and waves crashing into one another and shipping vessels for my sound library so that I will have enough sound effects to successfully produce my soundscape; I have done some test recordings of the bubbles in my fish tank to try out some of the production techniques stated above which will be posted on my blog as evidence.
Finally I have set out my dissertation skeleton which I will start filling in the blanks from today i.e. Abstract, Introduction and Research Question.
