2) Watch your footage back and make a list of the potential sound effects you would need to make a foley soundtrack for the chase e.g. footsteps, heavy breathing, shaking of chains, traffic noise, bike wheels,
Mind-map ways that you can create those sounds.
3) In groups of three go out with your sound lists and camera and collect the sound samples you need. BE CREATIVE NOT LITERAL AND BE SAFE - so for fire don't use fire!
You need to create sounds that only SOUND authentic.
4) Start a blog post called FOLEY SOUND TASK, take a screen grab of your Point Break edit and describe the task that was set. Reflect if you can on the process - what you're pleased with/what was tricky.
5) Post your sound list - take a picture if it is on paper.
6) Write about how you got certain sounds - make special mention of any sounds you're particular proud of, any problems you had, which sounds were hard to get etc.
7) Complete the edit of your Point Break complete with sounds. Export it using these settings.

- upload to Vimeo and embed onto your blog. Take a screenshot of you Final Cut project.
8) Write your evaluation:
How did you find the task? How happy are with your final product? What works well and why? What is unconvincing? How did you manipulate the sounds? Select sections and take screenshot of your audio timeline if there's any editing you're particularly proud of. If you went back to make your 60 second film again would using this process have helped?
THE EVALUATION BIT IS IMPORTANT SO PUSH YOURSELF TO REFLECT ON YOUR PROCESS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT SKILLS YOU HAVE DEVELOPED. THIS IS A PROCESS THAT WILL HAVE TO DO AFTER EVERY TASK.
