A quick & simple guide for the subsidiary product (audio 3 minutes) for Brief 5 of the 2023 NEA which is to create a website for Millenials / GenX. This covers the subsidiary product only, but gives 3 suggested formats for the product (leveled by difficulty), detailed examples, ideas and ‘hacks’. It also has sections of example audio products / foley which students can use for reference. These are built in to the PPT. Finally, contains a quick guide to a simple editing program (web-based, FREE) called Veed.io, which I recommend using with students for simple audio editing. Great for students to use independently, as well as to assist teachers.
