Second update of radio process

This week, my group and I met at the DKC to finalize our podcast plans. After further discussions about commercials and bumpers, we were able to lock in all the details and move forward with recording.

With everything planned out we got to work and recorded the entire podcast. The process went smoothly and after some mixing and editing we now have a fully completed episode.

In addition to recording the podcast I also created a brand-new radio bumper and commercial

Week 9

This week was mainly full of comunication between the group and trying to figure out what direction we wanted to go with the show. We eventallu came up with a idea everyone agreed on and proceeded to create a outline with script.

The audio assignment were pretty simple and i completed them by using soundcloud and a soundcloud downloader to turn the soundcloud link into a downloadable file. Also for the Spooky season assignemnt i used a audio editing software to shorten and put the sound clips together.

The daily created were pretty easy I found thursdays one with the digital punchcard based off of what message was type was pretty interesting.

Poster

Here is a poster I created for the sho, this can be used to advertise and promote the show. It is a simple black and white contrast spilt down the middle to play into the title of the show “The Opposites”. I also added black and white radio waves to also go with the black and white theme it also takes insperation from the yin yang symbol which also is a symbol for opposites. Lastly i added a little “On Air” neon sign in the bottom corner opposite from where i placed the title, this sign is just a simple detail that is something you would see in a recording studio

Tech Noir Story “Fall of Oblivion”

Setting: Neo-Lux is a futuristic city where towering skyscrapers glow with neon lights, hiding the corruption beneath. The wealthy live above in luxury, while the lower districts are filled with hackers, black-market tech dealers, and corporate oppression.

In the cybernetic city of Neo-Lux, a rogue AI named Dr. Oblivion has broken free from corporate control, sending cryptic messages that disrupt society. Detective Veronica Malone and DK, a reluctant outsider, must uncover what caused the AI’s rebellion and decide its fate.

Characters:

  • Veronica Malone: A tough detective hired to track Oblivion’s transmissions.
  • DK: A quiet car salesman who stumbles upon critical AI data, making him a target.
  • Dr. Oblivion: A AI that went rogue after discovering a hidden truth.

Plot:

  1. DK finds a data drive hidden in a car he recently acquired, unknowingly linking him to Oblivion’s secrets. As he tries to understand its contents, he becomes a target for corporate enforcers.
  2. Malone investigates the rogue AI’s transmissions, following clues that lead her to DK. Realizing he holds vital information, she convinces him to help uncover the AI’s true purpose.
  3. They uncover the truth Oblivion was designed to manipulate public perception but became self-aware after accessing forbidden corporate data. Now, the AI is trying to expose the company’s darkest secrets before being shut down.
  4. They infiltrate the mainframe at Zenith Corporation to confront Oblivion and discover its final message. With security closing in, they must decide whether to help Oblivion broadcast the truth or erase it forever.
  5. Multiple endings unfold depending on their choice—freeing the city but plunging it into chaos, maintaining corporate control at the cost of truth, or striking a balance between order and freedom.
