Weekly Summary #10: Radio Show Week!

M. Marshall 3.28

It’s crazy that we are in week 10. I don’t feel so much like I’m fumbling around on this website now. So that’s a definite improvement. Most of the work this week for me was putting together the audio and recording my own for the radio show, so here it is:

And now my daily creates!

Day 1:

Can you find all 18 faces?

Day 2:

It’s true! I have 4 younger siblings, but she’s the baby 🙂 My favorite time of year is the 6 day period where she and I are 10 years apart (10 and 20 was pretty cool but what I’m really excited for is 20 and 30).

That is all for this week!

Ok, Now Is This Thing On?

Radio show week (or really, radio show week two)! Our group could not meet to record episodes together, so instead we focused on creating a cohesive sound with different hosts. I think it went well, scheduling conflicts considered! I recorded my episode directly into Audacity, which made editing a breeze. I added in the show’s intro and then just had to cut out any mistakes I made in favor of the better take. I used the ad I made last week in the middle of the episode to break things up. My episode is embedded here, but for the finished product, please head over to Rebecca’s Radiant Realm!

Weekly Summary: Week 10

This week was a lot of compiling our final radio show. Last week we has split the tasks so that we were all doing a fair amount of work. Our main idea was to create a new broadcast. This way we can use all our characters and make a cohesive show while still having individual aspects.

My broadcast was based in Philadelphia and my class character, Natasha Slayer, was the news reporter. I created two stories with a tech noir theme to try and tie this all into the main theme of the class. The stories talked about different cyber uprisings and chaos in the city. In addition to the two news stories I also contributed a commercial to my group. Although this strays from the tech noir theme I chose to make a Dunkin Donuts commercial. I used Audacity to create this using my voice and other background sounds/ music.

Maddie in my group will be compiling all of our recordings into one clip to make the completed show (shoutout Maddie!!).

Lastly for this week, I did two daily creates. The first one I did was the image to image cat creation. I drew a house and generated an image where the drawing was filled in with a cat. I’m not sure if that’s exactly what the prompt was asking me to do but i thought it was silly so i kept it. The second one I did was the tell us what you love. I chose a picture of the beach that I live at. It represents more than just my love of the beach but also home and my family which I love more than anything. Summer is my favorite and spending time on the beach.

Weekly Summary #9: A stitch in time

M. Marshall 3.22

Sometimes I wonder if the titles of my weekly summary are the most creative thing I have on this website. Hopefully everyone appreciates them like I do, otherwise, this is pretty embarrassing.

What did I do this week?

1. Made a post about my radio show progress:

Radio Show: Week One

2. My radio show design promo:

Promo!

(Told you guys I’d incorporate my cat more)

3. Two audio assignments (technically one video assignment I turned into an audio assignment)

Create a commercial!

Radio Show Intermission

That was definitely the most work this week.

4. 3 TDCs!

1. Show a photo of confusion

2. Creative message punch card (Taylor’s version)

3. How do you celebrate St. Patrick’s day?

That’s it for me! Until next week!

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.

Spooky Season

Guess the song

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.

Is This Thing On? Oh, It’s Not Yet?

Radio show week one, let’s go! I started with the audio assignments before jumping in to the design work. I LOVE podcasts, so I took my own swing at making an ad. I find that I like working with audio every time I do it, so I enjoyed this week. After that, I got right in to the second assignment. I altered one of the assignments into the audio bank just slightly so that we could use it as the intro for our show. Gotta love an old crooner.

For my design, I opted to also create the cover/front-facing branding for our show! I really enjoy logo making, so I pounced on that. Not much else to say about the radio show that wasn’t said in my update.

And, as always, the Daily Creates.

Weekly Summary: Week 9

This week was mainly focused on the begining of creating our radio shows. I met with my three other group members on Monday over zoom to discuss what our plan was and how we were going to work our show out. I talk more about this on my progress blog post.

The rest of the week was pretty much working on my solo assignments. I started to create my portion of the radio show with scripts for my segment, a commercial, a show flyer, my daily creates, and my two audio assignments.

I wanted my two audio assignments to help me make progress with my portion of the radio show so I chose creating a commercial and creating a news story. I plan to use my commercial as one of the ones my group will be using in our final radio show. I chose the news story assignment because that is basically what are entire show is. Although I still have to come up with another story or two to fill up my 5-7 min slot, this assignment helped me to get a head start. I wrote a news story and had AI read it out. I tried the Colossyan website and was able to create an AI generated presentation from my script but then when I went to download it I had a lot of issues.

Weekly Summary #8: Rhymes with great

M. Marshall 3.14

Happy Pi Day! That’s kind of fun.

This week was not super stressful for me which I loved, here’s what I did.

I joined a group! The members are me, Emily, Sam, and Brigid. We shared about our characters, talked through some ideas, I think it’s gonna work out well. We’re doing a Zoom meeting in the next few days to really fully flesh out our ideas and work together best. I think it’s gonna be pretty cool!

Daily creates:

#1: Colorize a photo (This was too big to fit so you’ll just have to click on the link)

#2: Something I would name after myself (can you tell I’m bitter?)

#3: My best decision so far.

I know I don’t need to have a goal this week, but can I change the color of the words on this website? I really should visit the DKC again…

That’s all for this week! I’ll be back soon.
