Webpage 1 - EXISITNG AUDIO CLIPS

PK image is a company that sells clothes and footwear for teens and young adults. You have just made them a Flash animation to go on their new website. What they want now is an audio advertisment. This audio clip can either play along side your animation or be produced as a radio advert.

You will design create and publish the audio clip, recording your work by taking regular screenshots.

First things first though! The company wants you to research and report on at least TWO different exisitng audio clips. You need to report on the good and bad points of an audio clip. THINGS TO LOOK FOR: APPROPRIATE FOR AUDIENCE? PARTS TOO LOUD OR TOO QUIET, PARTS TOO FAST OR TOO SLOW, SPEECH USED WELL, MOOD/PURPOSE ADDED TO BY MUSIC, SPEECH OR EFFECTS etc.
