Project 7: Audio Checkpoint Assignment

For this project, the topic I choose was just for entertainment purposes only, however, it does have a meaning hidden among all the funny bits I wanted to portray. The title of this project is “If you need help…. Just ask” and what’s it about is my Roommate calls me saying he needs help cooking but when I go out there to help him, he is nowhere to be seen and when I look at what he was trying to cook, it’s a catastrophe.

Here is a Test Recording. It’s in my room and as close to my real recording conditions will be.

Here is the outline I wrote for this project.

Title: If you need help… Just ask
Made by: Joel Lamonth

0:00 – 0:10

• Have the title of the video displayed somewhere on the screen.
• Play some Rocket League in the background.
• Get a phone call from my Roommate.

0:10 – 0:40

• Answer the phone & have dialogue with Roommate over the phone.
• Leave to go to kitchen to find out what my Roommate wants.

0:40 – 1:00

• Goes to kitchen to find out that he is not there.
• I get closer to the stove to find out he tried cooking food but messed up terribly and left a note.
• Note reads out “I was scared” from my Roommate Billy.

1:00 – 2:00

• Call him to figure out where he wandered off and to reassure him that it’s okay to ask for help with cooking.
• He doesn’t answer the phone, and I have to leave a voicemail.

Extra Information & Notes

• Two locations for recording, Bedroom and kitchen/living space.
• Will most likely need a sound effect of a ringtone, & a call going to voicemail sound effect.
• I will be using a Canon SL3 DSLR Camera with a RODE VideoMicro shotgun microphone to make this whole video.
• The Canon SL3 DSLR Camera is equipped with an 18-55mm zoom lens.
