Pre-Production
Work out who will be doing what, assigning rolls to each member of the group, carefully assessing the different skillsets.
Once we have our jobs, sound technicians will converse with the composers and arrangers of each track to source the perfect sounds for each genre
House
Post Production
Think individually about what we could have done better and what worked well
Create documentary folder of production processes with everything technique we used throughout the project.
Evaluate and assess each of our areas we worked on to see if we have achieved our aims we set throughout the pre-production stages
Come together as a group to agree on the final mix after listening to different mixdowns
Afrobeat
Trap/RnB
