My Audio Story A question often asked as an ice breaker growing up was wether or not it would be safer to fight off a bear or a shark. This would create heated conversations and bring up very knowledgeable points, however there is no right or wrong answer. There are scientific statistics that may show us which one may be the smarter choice, but people still have their opinions. Characters and Experts  In my audio story I interviewed my friend, Hannah Brubaker, about her opinion on the topic in order to introduce ideas to the audience. In my final audio story, I plan on interviewing a zoologist and psychologist. I choose to interview an zoologist because they study animals and their behaviors as well as animals interactions with their ecosystems. I choose to interview an psychologist to understand why one might choose a shark instead of a bear, and vice versa. Music Overall, I want my audio story to have a dangerous and wildlife effect on the audience. In order to cr...

What I Did I began by my assignment by searching for funny memes on google to get inspiration but couldn't seem to think of anything funny, original, and relatable. Then I started to ponder as to what my peers and I, as high point students, experience every day that's a struggle. This is where I came up with the idea to make a meme about HPU's parking. If you don't have a car on campus or haven't heard about a friend complaining about parking, it's almost impossible to find a spot! Hundreds of students have asked the university to add parking for students, however we see that there are just more graduate buildings taking over these parking lots instead. I choose a picture of a filled parking lot and a picture of Nido Quiben to mask on top of it. I then used the quick selection tool to edit out the surrounding area behind Nido. After this I created a layer mask in order to just have Nido overlaying the picture of the parking lot. As I looked closer I noticed h...

Audition This is my first time ever using an app in which you can edit audio. I was really intimidated by how audition was set up, especially with the display of the audio wave forms. When I began watching the videos assigned to me for homework, it made me a little more comfortable with the idea of working in audition.  As I began to practice more in class and work on my short ended story, I learned that it is not as difficult to work in audition, despite how intimidating it looks. What I Learned  While working in audition to create my short audio story, I ran into numerous issues. The first issue being that I couldn't seem to figure out how to make the audio clips flow into one another. I finally figured out how to make the clips flow better by overlapping the clips at the very end of the first clip and the very beginning of the clip that comes after it. However, when I overlapped the clips the audio intertwined with each other. After playing around with the audio I l...
