and
Information
Differentiate

HEARING
vs.
LISTENING
Lesson Objectives:
• Describe the different dimensions of
audio information and media.
• Discuss how audio information and
media is/are formally and informally
produced, organized, and disseminated.
• Evaluate the reliability and validity of
audio information and media and their
sources using selection criteria.
HEARING vs. LISTENING
Hearing is simply the act of perceiving
sound by the ear. If you are not hearing-
impaired, hearing simply happens. However,
Listening is something you consciously
choose to do. Listening requires
concentration so that your brain processes
meaning from words and sentences.
Listening leads to learning.
Characteristics of Sound

• Volume
• Tone
• Pitch
• Loudness
Purposes of using Sound
or Audio Media:

a. Give instruction or information


b. Provide feedback
c. To personalize or customize
Elements and Principles
of Sound design
a. Elements of Sound Design
– the objects or things that we have to
work with:

• Dialogue - speech, conversation,


voice-over.
• Sound Effects - any sound other than
music or dialogue.
a. Elements of Sound
Design

• Music - vocal or instrumental sounds


(or both) combined in such a way as to
produce beauty of form, harmony, and
expression of emotion.

• Silence - absence of audio or sound.


b. Principles of Sound Design
– the techniques for combining the different
elements or objects.

• Mixing - the combination, balance and control of


multiple sound elements.
• Pace - Time control. Editing. Order of events:
linear, non-linear, or multi-linear.
• Stereo Imaging - Using left and right channel for
depth.
• Transitions - How you get from one segment or
element to another.
Types of Transitions
1. Segue - one element stops, the next begins ("cut"
in film).
2. Cross-fade - one element fades out, the next
fades in, and they overlap on the way.
3. V-Fade - First element fades to inaudible before
the second element begins.
4. Fade to Black - V-Fade with some silence
between elements.
5. Waterfall - As first element fades out, the second
element begins at full volume. Better for
voice transitions, than for effects.
