So this week was very, very light on the work that we needed to do in order to meet the requirements for the assignment. The basic idea for the next two weeks was to work on our final project to round out the semester and so that is exactly what I did. I decided to work with Peter once again for the final project and we decided to another radio-show type thing for our final project. Our show is called “Tech Insights” and the episode that we are creating talks about the pros and cons of artificial intelligence and how people may view the game-changing technology. The shows dives into both the good and the bad and the hosts make sure to talk about each point completely to make sure that the listeners are fully aware of what is happening and being talked about. We also used the bumpers that we created from the Radio Show Project, along with the commercials that we both made to make the video project more appealing and realistic. We were also advised to make some progress posts throughout the week, however, as you can tell by me posting this on Thursday, that I had a very busy week this week and was not able to get to those progress posts and since it was not a requirement, I figured it would be fine. i will include the progress that we made on our final project within this post. As far as this week goes, we came up with the idea for the project on Monday/Tuesday and then started working on the script Tuesday/Wednesday and over the course of those two days, we spent some time trying to decide what pros and cons we wanted to use for the show since there were so many. After we were able to pick some out for each side, we started working on the script and it looks like we will have roughly a 10-minute show for this final project and since there was only two of us this time, we figured it would be more than enough. As stated before, we decided to add the bumpers and commercials to make it more interesting. One thing that we decided to do for this project was to use completely AI-generated voices to further push the narrative of AI and make the final project a little bit cooler to listen to. Next week, we plan on actually creating the audio samples, getting the radio bumpers/commercials, and background music all into Audacity and putting the whole thing together. That will be the main focus for the next week and the rest of this week will be spent on editing the script to make sure it is what we want along with making sure that there is nothing else we need to add or find before we start putting things together.
I did not encounter too many issues this week when completing my assignments. I thought things went pretty smoothly this week and I enjoyed doing all of the assignments. From this week, I would say that creating the script for the final project was my favorite. This is because I found it very enjoyable to create a talk show for the two characters and have them interact once again. I anticipate that I will enjoy creating the audio clips for the characters since we are using all AI-generated audio clips. Once again, I did not encounter any issues this week for any of the assignments.
I definitely think that I accomplished all of the requirements for the assignments for this week and I think I did them to the best of my ability. I would not do anything differently for the work that I did this week as it was completed with effort, time, and creativeness. I believe that there are no larger issues at hand with my work. I think that the assignments were done properly and with effort. I do not have any further questions at this time for the class. One thing that I think I did well this week was managing my time. Since the end of the semester is getting closer and closer, things are starting to get a bit more hectic and now that I am about to graduate, I want to make sure that everything is going well in all my classes and other activities and so I am busier than usual, but was still happy I was able to get all the work for this class done while going through the final few weeks of the semester.
