This week was just days of relaxing and enjoying all the effort put into the earlier weeks for our radio show project. It was fun being able to listen to everyone’s shows play live on the radio and I loved getting to experience having a bunch of people see my show! For more details on my experience you can go to my post called Lights! Camera! Action! I also completed three Daily Creates which can be found on my post called Inside My Creative Mind.
It was so fun being able to see my own creation play live on a radio and it is definitely an experience that I will never forget! I put a lot of effort into Noir Games so I enjoyed reading everyone’s comments and compliments on Discord. I’m happy that everyone appreciated the sarcastic lines of the characters so much, especially the ones written for Dr. Oblivion because those were my favorite too. I am assuming this is how producers feel when they finally get to reveal their shows, movies, etc after weeks of work. I was not able to talk live on the radio due to complications with a noisy background because of my family, but I was able to still answer various questions through Discord text on the process of creating the radio show and the thought process behind the choices my group and I made for it which was nice to experience. If anything, after listening to Noir Games play on the radio I wish more background music was edited in to make it sound more like a game show. Also maybe more sounds of an audience reacting in the crowd to make it sound more realistic.
I was also able to experience listening in on the other radio shows presented but the one I want to put a spotlight on is Fearless Femmes! I enjoyed listening to their show a lot! It sounded like a realistic gossip talk show and there was a lot of funny moments like the story about the person who found out their boyfriend was a robot. I think it was a good idea that they used their actual voices to record instead of ai because it made it feel more personal and relatable when they would share their stories. Also the use of the telephone ringing every time there was a new caller was a good transition sound for telling the audience a new person’s story was about to be introduced each time. I also don’t want to forget mentioning their intro, commercials and radio bumpers which also sounded pretty realistic and very detailed. Overall, this group put a lot of work into their radio show and if it was real I probably wouldn’t mind tuning in to listen to more funny episodes!
For this Daily Create it was April Fools Day themed so I showed a prank that I did to my friends. I created a fake account to look like a stranger with the name Bo and pretended like I knew my friends to get their funny reactions.
For this Daily create I was supposed to try to decipher a page from an old book. For my page it looked like they were having fun in water so I added speech bubbles with the text “The first ever pool party!” and “What a jolly good idea!”
For this Daily Create I was supposed to show an ironic photo so I chose a picture of Iceland because it has the word ice in it but the country itself is mostly grassy land so it is kind of funny and ironic.
