Lucy Johnstone – Freelance post production sound designer

The lecture consisted of a lot of professional practices as well as industry tips.

The first part of the lecture was mainly information about mixing and tidying up sound files. This was very useful and included an example in which she showed part of a TV program and how she received it. She then showed us what she changed and how it was done. She spoke about a variety of techniques such as sound matching and information about plugins which will be very useful when coming to do post production for uni work, as I am working on a film project for AP2

The insight into the freelance industry was very interesting as she spoke about work experience and the different parts of a CV that would help someone break into the media world. As she has worked for both a company and as a freelancer, her insight into both worlds was very interesting.

Throughout the lecture, she gave helpfulĀ tips about things such as spot effects being in mono, slow motion footsteps, and time stretching. These tips were very useful and will be sued when i come to edit sound clips in the future.

Overall I found the lecture to be very engaging and a good insight into what this industry is like to work in.
