Week four was a very nice follow up to week three, I was firstly introduced to a very unique way of presenting sound on a video, where the creator presents the sounds verbally in a textual way, here is what we were shown;

As you can probably see the creator is using his voice to create sounds/sound effects, this may seem like an odd thing to do, however in some situations it can work very well, like here. After seeing this video it reminded me of one i had seen some time ago;

Even though this video was created in a humorous way, and all that it consists of is the creator editing a video of 'Super Street Fighter 4' and putting his voice over the top, it still shows another example of how sounds can be created differently.
After seeing the video Andy gave us a recap on the third weeks lesson about how important it is that a track fits in with its game and went on to show us a video about the 'Scarface video game' explaining the importance of the sound effects within a video game, this was interesting because it shows that even in video games it is possible to very easily go over the top and ruin the game via sound, showing that a lot of concentration and effort must be put in.
Then there was a recap on foley and we were shown a video on how Disney use foley for a lot of their films. This was very interesting because it gave insight into how many of the famous sounds created by Disney were made;

Upon finishing this video Andy spoke about the importance of structure when writing a soundtrack/song and showed a video with tips on songwriting and structure;

This was the most important point of this weeks lesson for me as it will help me greatly with structuring my two, one minute soundtracks.
