Rachel Deodato - Short Audio Story



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 learned that if you zoom into the ending of the first clip and the beginning of the clip that follows, you can adjust the overlapping in order to avoid the audio from affecting one another.

About 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. In this audio story I tried to portray the "arc", which is a unique way of story telling created by Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich the two hosts of RadioLab. I began by giving the audience with little information on the topic, then interviewed someone on their opinion in order to help the audience create their own thoughts on the topic, finally I leveled back to make the audience question which answer is the right one.

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.
