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 create a dangerous wild life tone to my audio story, I decided to search for "jungle" and found numerous songs that would fit this tone. I choose "The Jungle" by Sara Afonso because in the audio you can hear foot steps walking through the jungle. The tones in the background make the mood suspenseful and it almost makes you feel as if you are the one walking through the jungle.

Foley

I created this Foley by recording myself sliding my slippers against carpet to create a sound such as walking through leaves. I wanted to have this sound affect in order to create the feeling that the listeners are walking through a jungle.

Still Image Video

Shark vs. Bear The purpose of premiere is to create visuals for certain clips of audio, such as a still image video. I have recently learned about how important visuals and audio can be to a project. Visualization has the power of communicating with the viewer about the topic, which is especially important to those who may speak another language or have impaired hearing. In my final still image project, I tried to visually express what is being said in the audio with the use of animated quotes and images.

Forum 6: Swatchy Schemey

The Image  For this assighment I gained inspiration from my favorite place, my bed! The decorative pillows that are placed on my bed consist of all my favorite colors, which made this project visually pleasing for myself. I based each color I used on one of my pillows. However, I didn't get to use all the pillows since we could only choose three main colors or swatches.  Swatches When I was creating the swatches it was more difficult than I expected. Choosing the first round of colors, as seen in the first column to the left going down, took some time because I had to experiment with different hues in order to find the color that best matched the pillow I was using as my inspiration. However, the difficult part was creating faded colors, as seen in the next two columns, that weren't to drastic of a change from the first color. In order to create this faded effect I had to lower the tint percentages in each box more and more as I made my way to the right. Namepla...

Forum 5: Visual Communication

Overview In this newest rough draft of my audio story I made a lot more improvements. I improved my blog by adding animated text. These animations consisted of titles, quotes, and important points that I wanted to emphasize to the viewers. I was also able to replace pointless images with title frames throughout the audio story to improve the quality. As I continue to work on my audio story I plan to add more animations to the images and the transitions between the images to create a more appealing video.  What I Learned While working on my audio story, I had no idea how to add text and animate text when working in Adobe Premier. After watching the youtube video "How to Animate a Title", I quickly learned how and became a pro at creating titles and animating them. Although I mainly focused on my titles moving from left to right or up and down, in the future I plan to use the opacity tool in order to make the titles fade in and out of the frame.
