The final destination for your composition project and documentation is a publicly published video slideshow, playing your composition in full, with onscreen annotations highlighting the pertinent points of your documentation, along with your full prose documentation included in the notes on the video page. YouTube is recommended; other sites like Vimeo may also be acceptable, but get approval from your instructor in advance before using a different service. Also consult your instructor in advance if you are uncomfortable making your project fully public.
When you complete your composition, you’ll have a full quality WAV or AIF audio file. When you complete your documentation, you’ll have text and perhaps a graphic score. Consider any other materials you could use to demonstrate the aesthetic strength and depth of your composition, such as photographs of objects you used for sound source material.
YouTube won’t let you upload an audio-only file, but it will let you add titles (onscreen text) after you’ve uploaded a video file. The following link describes how you can use common Mac OS or Windows software to create a video file ready to upload to YouTube: click here. Additionally, here is a video walkthrough using Adobe Premiere: University of Queensland, “Creating a Slideshow in Premier Pro”
You could create all of your titles in the video editor program of your choice, or you could just give it a single background image (like this solid black slide) and use YouTube’s tools to add all your text annotations as described at this link: click here. Consider showing your graphic score in the video. It may involve more work in video or annotation editing, but may be very valuable in communicating the structure and depth of your work.
When you upload your video, don’t forget to add the full prose text of your documentation to the video post, and add as many tags as are relevant, including “electroacoustic” and any subject matters, sound materials, aesthetic approaches, processing techniques, or compositional techniques that feature significantly in your work.
Be mindful of professional-looking and readable sizes, fonts, and formatting for your titles/annotations. Here are a couple examples:
You are not expected to have any moving images (although they will likely increase the impact of your final product if relevant to your work). Here, we are just using YouTube as a medium to store and stream your work to others along with text that helps the listener understand the aesthetic strength and depth of your work, as well as making it easily discoverable through related videos and Google web searches.
