In order to facilitate easy communication this week and the following week, my group members and I started this week by setting up a Discord chat. As a group, we determined that our audio show would focus on the experiences of our course characters with artificial intelligence, specifically with Aggressive Technologies. Since we have three people and require three of each, it works out well that each person should design their own radio bumper and commercial for the project. I believe it would be ideal to use my two audio tasks this week as the radio bumper and commercial, however I’m not sure what my group members choose to do. I used Audacity to create these two different audios, and I anticipate that we will use Audacity for our audio show as well. However, we will probably settle on that next week. We then concluded it would be best to write our script for the following week. Because then we just have to concentrate on filming our portions, creating an opening and a closing, transitional components, background noise, including music, etc., next week will be much easier as long as we set the framework for our show. My contribution to the writing of our show’s script has been substantial. In the end, we decided that each of us would make a logo or poster for the show in that blog for this week. Next week, we will choose our favorite and use it for the show.

The Beginning of My Radio Show!
So, this week was the first week in terms of working on our radio show with our groups and getting the ground running. Therefore, it was pretty easy to understand what needed to get done this week and what was at utmost importance. The first thing we did at the start of the week was introducing ourselves to each other and creating a discord groupchat that would allow us to communicate with one another efficiently since we did not all know each other before this assignment started. The next thing that we did was, we decided that it would be easier for all of us to create a radio bumper and commercial by ourselves since the show needed three of each. Therefore, over the weekend and throughout the week we spent some time working on this task and making sure everyone had that completed. Furthermore, we realized then, that we each needed to create a logo for this radio show as well and so, we each, once again, created our own logos and would then decide which logo to use at a later date so it was not too much of a hassle right now. Finally, for the first week we agreed that we needed to create a script for the radio show and that it would go by a lot smoother if we knew what was going on and what needed to be said by who. Therefore, we spent a majority of the time during the week working on the script to make sure that the show ran smoothly and everyone was aware of what needed to be said and when. We all agreed that the script would make things a lot easier and more efficient when it came time to record the show and overlap the answers and music as well. We would know exactly when the radio show would break and when there would be silence so that we can fill in those gaps with other audio to keep the show interesting and engaging.
