A Crazy Week with Sound

This week we were dealing with audio projects. Continuing on with the storytelling aspects, we went to audio. I was really hesitant at first because I wasn’t comfortable with the audio aspect. I thought it was mainly going to be about recording yourself talking as the different assignments. I quickly learned that I was wrong. I found some assignments that were really fun to make. I took my favorite band, Imagine Dragons, and I put 5 of their songs together. That post can be found here. I enjoyed this assignment. I caught a little snag however, when I uploaded it to sound cloud, it was pulled for copyright infringement. So I had to upload it to the blog itself. The next audio assignment I did was the reversing song.  Can you guess which one it is? Take a shot over here! Next I did a daily create, about An Early Morning Meal with my Cats. The daily create was about posting something you did with your pet. Since my pets are at home, I had to use an old picture to show what I do wight them. I had a lot of fun sharing a part of my home life with the ds106 folks! I also listened to an interview the Groom and Paul had with Jennifer Ralston, a sound editor for The Wire. I really liked that interview because it brought a new insight to the world of film. I never really looked at the audio side to production. But Jennifer really put it in a way that really caught my attention.

 

Now, lets have some real talk here. I know I didn’t have most of my assignments in for the week. I am really trying to balance the work that this class has and the work of my other classes. I know that’s no excuse for not having my work in on time but I really am trying my best. And I am working to have all of my work in for the next week. I keep procrastinating and it comes back to bite me in the butt. But I know this week is gonna be a good one!
