Multimedia Storytelling With Sound

It's amazing how sound affects people. Not only does it propel a story but it creates stronger emotions than images alone. Freelance photographer Allison Diaz gave a few pointers on how to succeed in obtaining the best sound quality possible for multimedia use. She said that finding a quiet area where there is not too much echo is ideal and checking for ambient noise using headphones, to hear things that perhaps were not noticed before, is important too. If an Edirol recorder, an industry standard, is not easy to come by than any recorder will do, but you want to make sure that you have a great microphone. After all, the less ambient noise you get the better editing experience you will have.

I am not going to lie but I could probably spend hours messing with the pitch and speed of a voice while editing. Ideally once you get over the childlike playing, you should focus on getting what is most relevant and what will make a powerful statement when combined with images. Learning to use these tools, along with editing smarts, is essential to the success of putting together a strong multimedia package.
