The Four Kinds of Audio - Radio Lab "More or Less Human"

Topic Introduction When deciding on a topic for my audio story, I tried to come up with something that could apply to most people. That is how I decided to make an audio story on traveling. In the audio story, I asked my friend to tell her experience on traveling and tips and tricks she has when it comes to packing. She is currently in Europe and will be there for a week so this goes to show the passion she has for traveling and experiencing new places. <iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/577863906%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-fpOns&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true"></iframe> Introduction of Characters and Experts As previously mentioned, I used one of my friends to speak about he...

What I Did: I began my assignment by pondering over ideas as to what people could relate to and find funny. After I had the idea in my mind I chose the two images that fit and emailed them to myself. I then opened them up on Photoshop and began the process. To start, I opened up the first picture which was a family picture of the Kardashians, but I wanted the main person to be Kendall Jenner due to her facial expression. With this picture I selected the Quick Selection Tool to select her. After this I then created a layer mask so it was only on Kendall and the background with the rest of her family became transparent with gray and white grids. I noticed some errors as I used the Quick Selection Tool so I fixed them by adding and subtracting selections. At the time I had both pictures opened in Photoshop so I took Kendall and dragged her into the picture of the fountain. From here I moved her around to where I thought she made a good fit. I noticed her skin tone was not exactly matche...

Audition As I was beginning this assignment I was a little apprehensive when it comes to using Audition. This was my first time ever using the software and I thought it was going to be extremely difficult and hard to catch up on, but that wasn't the case. After viewing the videos and readings, it gave me a better understanding at the software (especially the video on creating a multitrack session and the one on how to use the tools), but I needed to do hands-on practices to really get a feel for it. Every week in class when we have practiced by just using little examples, I have found it to help me out so much in the long run. Although there are things I am still unsure about, I have gained a better understanding on how to use the basics of the software and am excited to learn some more. What I Did To begin my audio story, I first emailed all of the clips to myself so it would be easier to access when I got onto the computer. There was a lot of clips so I didn't want to r...
