This week was a planning and gathering stage for our group, we decided to stray away from another trailer and choose to make a music video with our course characters involved with it. We chose a song that would really fit the theme of tech noir. It is a Daft Punk Song! We again sent out course characters into the group chat so we could plan content for them when finding clips and sounds affects to match our characters throughout the music video. Initially we had the idea of making another trailer that was longer and more in details but strayed off the idea to try something new with music. I have a good feeling about this project because almost everyone has heard of Daft Punk so seeing their song with a different music video will be very cool. I am hoping that our course characters will blend nicely throughout. Overall this week was more laid-back than others because it was more of a gathering phase. This was a very good week.

This week was more of a chill week in a sense where there was only 2 assignments, like most weeks we started off with Daily Create Week 12 these are always fun for me since there are so random. My favorite one was national pet day because who does not love their pets! We then started as a group tackling the trailer project. We first met on zoom to talk about what we wanted to do and how we wanted to do it. trailer this was a fun project and helped out learn more about each others strengths are weakness for the upcoming final project we will be working on together. I do think this turned out pretty well! I think we could use some voice overs though for the final project. I do think we did well on creating a mood in this trailer, when seeing it for the first time I felt a tad bit tense because of the music and cinematic shots. For the final though we should defiantly work on trying to get betting stock images to really make it seem like a movie trailer. Overall this was a very fun week!

Starting off the week I completed Daily Create Week 11 then started listening to the podcast.

I heard one of the radio programs where I was not involved, and to be truthful, it greatly impressed me. Their use of mechanical voices combined with various audio effects actually made everything vibrant. It seemed as if I was inside their narrative rather than only listening to it. They utilized ambient noise, static and distorted effects it was overall a mode of extremely innovative sound composition. It greatly contributed to the environment’s ambiance and provided a sensation as though one is immersed in that world. I do not know which group it was but they used a robotic voice to kick things off and I liked that part alot.

Hearing out own podcast was kinda weird cause I had to hear my own voices, which who likes that? But hearing everything put together was pretty cool. I was not the one who edited it all in Audacity so hearing the final product really showed how much effort we actually put in. I stayed for when my group talked about their experience and I think I was the one who gave the files that did not want to go in Audacity so Ill fix that next time.

Looking forward to the final project I am wanting to do another podcast, some of the the group wants to do it as well. I want to put more detail into it and make it seem like we are actually there, that being said I will be incorporating a lot more sounds and background music to fit that vibe.

Overall a very good week
