- In our first session we went out with the sennheiser K6 and marantz to record sounds around campus. This was a good introduction to the 

equipment as we could go back to class if we had any problems with it. We recorded cars, footsteps, 

tree rustles, wind and people talking. When we got back to the class room we renamed all the clips 

appropriately and got rid of all the ones we didn't need.

- Diegetic
- Music based.

- Horror sounds can be interesting as you can use anything and everything to create simple sounds. Also when putting them into Audition you can mix and twist them to sound creepy and ghostly.
