Days of Crime and Roses

Let’s get into today’s case.

Days of Crime and Roses is a podcast that focuses on true crime stories, with multiple hosts sharing their experiences. The podcast creates a specific atmosphere through narration of the cases, like Lynn’s emotional connection to the missing persons in Montana creates an emotional resonance. Jasper’s dramatic storytelling about Grayson Cole and the “Rebirth Incident” captivates the audience with a cautionary tale. The consistent introduction and outro music contribute to branding and listener recognition. The variety in hosts’ approaches within “Days of Crime and Roses” suggests an awareness of appealing to a diverse audience.

Crime and roses had an interesting take that reminded me of the last time we listened to the Ds106 radio for a crime podcast. Super cute how they all said crime at the same time. Aside from that overall love how it came out. I couldn’t appreciate the extra sounds that, but I could hear the emotions in their voices as they told the stories. It’s nice to hear that they mentioned wanting to hear more background sounds too. I can image how much more immersive that would have felt rather than just an interesting listen. Still, it was enjoyable, and I can hear the Limestone inspiration.

Well, when it came to listening to my own show I really listened to all the mistakes that make me wanna pull my hair out and gag. Some of them were so bad I am shocked no one said anything ;-; wahhhhh. Anyway, overall, the same feeling I get when I hear my own voice. ew ew ew eweweweweweweweweweew. That’s how I feel.

Radio Show Week 2 – Flower Bed

Radio Show Week 2

Welcome foolish travelers you are enter the mind of an all pronoun It with Add and Adhd who is on their period and sleep deprived turn back nowww.

Well, I will make this awfully clear I hate group projects. I will not apologize for that.

If it wasn’t literally part of the grade to work together I would do it all myself just avoid the stress projects like this bring me.

A. I am full of it B. I expect too much C. I really just want to sleep D. I am a hypocrite

So far, I was meant to arrange the audio it should have been done Wednesday but it’s not done yet. AHAHA I am gonna punch the wall. Lawyer talk, due to external issues I have been unable to complete the task originally assigned to me. Leading to an altered timeline that will affect the overall performance. Despite the agreed upon approach there appeared to be a moment of miscommunication causing the current predicament.

Aka WTF MF WTH WAYEBA SWMPTAJGBIH No it’s not gibberish, anyway I was tasked with arranging the audios into a good pace and fixing the sound, thought I would take a day at most and it did then I noticed the issue it was not long enough, the people in charge of after production things would not be able to extend the time so me and Nairah worked hard to extend the script that she did originally and I have to go back and rearrange everything though I know when they add effects it will be moved again I still do my best. I look forwards to hearing how Antonio and Azrael really give our story life. Never heard of an M4A before today yet here we are. Wonderful don’t you think?

As for my contributions I also did quite a bit the first week Radio Show Progress – Flower Bed thought I could get things done quickly but I put a weird amount of effort into it. Let me show the sites I’ve used just to record.

Dr. O is a fighter, so I ended up having to clone his voice to get what I needed.

——————

New day new progress, after work and bad interviews the last thing I want to think about is a project still gotta do it anyway. Why do I feel the urge to cry groan just gotta stay awake for 5 more hours we got thisssss. The due date is here and like with pregnancy ya gotta keep pushing kiddos.

That’s how I met your mom.

Daily Creates

Busy week huh~ bad time to have cramps honestly trying not to spin out or cry is a pain plus I’m in pain. So my posts were filled with emotion this week. Ah my aching uterus just gonna crumple up in bed and do what I can. This week’s daily creates were nice the Dustim is my fave so fun!!!! Reminded me of Thisissand but more complicated. As for the second one I had a more heartwarming approach since I recently lost a loved one just because they are gone doesn’t mean you stop loving them.

How I made my jellyfish god idek it was pure luck that lining up the poles and adding certain weights and gravity made. I knew the whole time I wanted a jelly fish though. As for the heart something nice and easily made in Canva spent more time listing my favorite people.

What

a

week

Lots of things to get done and not a lot of time and there is still more to do next week. Of course, that is going to be just as time consuming, but I will do my best to work hard. The content this week was just me glaring at Audacity wondering what I was doing wrong and pressing the undo button again. If I could alter it to dark mode perhaps my eyes would hurt less. The light never hurt more after staring at a screen all day do, they bleh. I have been taught if I don’t have anything nice to say just don’t say it so I shall keep my mouth zipped and just grumble under my breath. I am just not a fan of group anything since no one is paying me. I call what I do secretary work yes; I could make and plan everything but why should I? the word group is in the name. I am a control freak with time anxiety not a great combo. Still, I have learned to treat people like they are adults and have learned to take a step back and let it happen. Some time it goes well other times it may not but as long as I can see people are trying it’s all cool.

There has been progress here and there almost everywhere, now tis time for the moon to rise and for me to follow the sun and go down for the night

Also learned how to add gifs from Giphy

Radio Show Progress

I gave myself a few tasks to pull together the project, making an ad radio bumper, intro music, and background music. In my eyes that’s not too much since it’s not like I have to get it all done in one day. If I had my way it would be an item a day but, my schedule does not allow such willfulness. These are the items I have made so far for the project.

Quite a bit of stuff honestly, I work hard for the sake of resting later! I really struggle with audio assignments overall, so I am feeling drained had more fun just using Canva it was nice. Next up is recording dialogue and adding any needed effects. Hope it comes out well. All of these have their own story and own effort, and I am sure my group mates are working just as hard.

Game show music

For the background music I wanted something techy but not focus grabbing since it’s only background music.

Of course, it’s not perfect but the point isn’t perfection.

Freesound – Crowd Clap.wav by GB01

Create a Place – Assignment Bank

Freesound – background music.mp3 by ZHRØ

Freesound – Buzzer sounds (Wrong answer / Error) by Breviceps

Freesound – 10661 bonus correct answer.wav by Robinhood76

I wanted to make the listener remember game shows they may have watched when they were younger going for the nostalgia factor. I made this using Audacity once again and sounds from Freesound. Made sure to add the sources above the sound cloud.

For this audio I was a bit stuck on how to do it since it’s not like I was going to make a mini game show. As the Audio assignment said I was trying to just create a place, and my place happened to be in a studio during a game show. I did more splitting and way too may adjustments. Learned something very unfortunate if the segment is too small it’s very hard to move and adjust! So, I had to keep cutting and pasting. Still, I managed to make it work with some good ol elbow grease.

Radio Bumper

Since I hate the sound of my own voice it’s only natural, I would use the tools at my disposal.

So, I used something new Robot Voice Generator (play/download) ― LingoJam.

I took a bit more time on this since I was taking time to think about how I wanted it to come out. I spent a while looking through the available sounds since I knew I would struggle making it personally so after a while of searching I found what I needed. Using Audacity I put it together and changed the sound, so it was more suitable for what I needed. Took an hour longer than I was hopping but it was well worth the effort I put in. Quite a bit of split and adjustments finally allowed me to put it together the way I really wanted it to! So, yippee!

Daily Creates

Time to introduce this week’s daily creates. OOOOO AHHHH say it with me~ made with special help from our best boi Canva and google searches! FUFUFU as you know it was St. patties day. So, I wasn’t shocked when the topic came up and I wasn’t wearing anything green. So, I designed a nice badge that I can where the day comes up! As for the 18th if I was at work I would’ve had many options for taking pictures of confusion.

😂 

As for the shoes rather than using paint on my laptop, I realized that Canva would offer the tools I needed so I am pleased with how it came out. I had much more energy this week so for once I am feeling enthusiastic. AHAHAH my work reflects that of course since it has a bit more of a personal touch rather than just trying to get a task done. Pretty good week~ myah to my fans and enemies!

Bumper Sticker

This is my bumper sticker for the Noir Game show. The joke is meant to be against humans degrading, yes. I am basically imagining that Dr. Oblivion is saying this and being rude and sarcastic. So, it is a joke at the expense of humans made my artificial intelligence something I imagine it would do a lot if it could. So, I really dug into that, going with my idea that Technoir is a time where AI rules while giving man a false sense of secretly making them think they are in control. That is why I chose a lightbulb attached to a brain rather than one or the other. Makes you think, doesn’t it?

I made this using Canva very happy to know that there was already a template for the bumper sticker, I struggled trying to figure out what font to use since it’s futuristic but also bumper sticker, I chose a light teasing vibe over something stiff and robotic. So, for once bubbly text rather than glitchy. Of course you are still being mocked. For coloring I wanted to stick to blue but admittedly it’s a but dark, but I dislike bright colors. Still, it came out nice.
