As well as reflecting on previous tasks you must investigate TW O more
areas:

1. Sound and Music for FILM: In your group film and edit 2-3 minutes
of interesting footage, then add all sound effects, dialogue and

responsibilities of another area of music production (case studies,
primary/secondary research, your own interpretation). This might
include one of the following:
