Radio Show and Week 10 Summary

This week was spent recording and editing the show, so no new content was made for it. We did run into the technical difficulty of the show not being long enough, we tried to extend the script, but it’s still on the shorter side. However, I’m proud of what we made and the way we communicated as a team.

Aside from recording my part, I was in charge of double checking the editing of everyone’s individual parts together and the sound effect/music timing, and I, myself, had to put the bumpers and ads into the final product.

Our group/podcast Days of Crime and Roses includes Rylie, Rebecca, and myself. We put together a discord chat 2 weeks ago to communicate our strategy of recording and editing our podcast. This week we each wrote and recorded one 5-7 minute episode about a crime that our character committed. Rylie worked on an introductory background track while Rebecca worked on putting together all of our recordings seamlessly into a cohesive podcast which included a couple commercials — one commercial including a cognitive enhancement substance from my story called “NeuroFlux”. Overall, I am excited with the direction we took for the podcast although, it would have been nice to have met in-person and bounced some creative ideas off of each other in the same room and use some professional recording equipment but none of our schedules worked out with distance, work and school schedules.

Week 10 Summary:

Week 10 was a good week for me personally I feel back on track. Me and my group were able to complete the project on time, I’m happy with the overall outcome of our project originally I wasn’t sure how my sound effects and editing would come out and it felt forced, but once I found the flow and timing of the podcast the uncertainty left me and I was able to produce a enjoyable product for the listener. Most of the work done this week is explained in my Noir Games podcast post if you’d like more insight into the process of creating for our podcast.

Daily creates:

During this week we were responsible for 2 daily creates which I was able to get done. The first daily creation I completed asked us to tell what we love I decided to show off some green beans I harvested from last year’s harvest that I absolutely loved. Gardening is an important part of my life and as I get older the more I grow to appreciate the skill. For the second daily creation we were asked what our personal opinion was on the creative possibility of limits, boarders and all kinds of dividers this immediately made me think of the speed limit as this is the most common border I have issue with. Boarders like the speed limit are important in regulating a society, even though anyone could speed its borders like this that may help deter certain parties from speeding and help limit the number of fatal crashes, although I may not like driving the speed limit and I may be safe going a little bit over it is still smarter to follow the rules set in place by society for everybody’s sake.

Daily Create Week 10

3/27 “I LOVE” <3

I love my Kindle because it fits right in my pocket, and gives me access to a whole library of books wherever I go at the fraction of the cost of hardcovers. It keeps me entertained without the mindless scrolling and pulls me into fascinating stories that let me escape into someone else’s world. I love how it helps me expand my vocabulary, as I discover new words and ideas as I read. With its no-glare screen, I can enjoy it anywhere—whether I’m outside in the sun, on the train, or curled up inside. It’s the best way to relax, recharge, and keep my brain sharp. 

3/26 “Cabinet Face” =]

I found this face in the kitchen on the cabinet and actually had to rotate the photo to make it work.

 

We’ve done it folks!

This week was fast moving. We finally got an idea on what we wanted to do for our radio show. Because we couldn’t meet together and record we decided to make the show almost like a podcast and have each of our characters bring our listener on a story of the different crimes they have committed. Each charcter got one episode in which we were responsible for our own commercials and sound.

Once this was done we uploaded our final project to a shared google drive and I compiled them into one show and put it in sound cloud. You can find our final project here!

How you doing?

This week was a slow start. We didnt really get a chance to meet about our project just yet but ideas are flowing through my head like crazy.

Our biggest challenge is scheduling. None of us have the time to meet all together for this project so we are in the midst of coming up with ways we can complete this without meeting together.

Creative processes.

Creating the radio show was an interesting process that challenged us to work together, be creative, and make use of our editing skills.  We started the project off slow, then we decided on creating a script that would set the guild line we would follow to complete the assignment was the best course of action. After the script was complete we assigned who was responsible for what role and we all had to go record the individual audio for our charterers. We all also made unique bumpers and ads, we picked the best ads and used them for our podcast. After the audio was recorded I was responsible for editing and adding sound effects into the podcast, this process was difficult at first but once I had all the moving pieces in order and found a style/theme to follow the edits came out very nice. I was able to add laughing, transitions between scenes and questions, music, a ding for answers, and some different sounds that help the listener understand the mood that’s being expressed ex: using piano noise to build suspense. Once my part was complete I sent it off for the final editing and for the ads and bumpers me and my group mates created to be added into the podcast the final draft. Overall I’m satisfied with the completed project and think my group members did amazing with communicating and getting the work done, we set a plan and followed the plan any issues that we ran into were resolved quickly and as a group, leading to a successful end product.

Weekly Summary #10: Radio Show Week!

M. Marshall 3.28

It’s crazy that we are in week 10. I don’t feel so much like I’m fumbling around on this website now. So that’s a definite improvement. Most of the work this week for me was putting together the audio and recording my own for the radio show, so here it is:

And now my daily creates!

Day 1:

Can you find all 18 faces?

Day 2:

It’s true! I have 4 younger siblings, but she’s the baby 🙂 My favorite time of year is the 6 day period where she and I are 10 years apart (10 and 20 was pretty cool but what I’m really excited for is 20 and 30).

That is all for this week!
