    Joe Goes To The Beach.. And Doesn’t Have Fun

    by
    This week, I did an assignment (4.5 stars) that was to photoshop people into a different setting. For this assignment I photoshopped Joe (my secret agent) and his work friend at a beach. Joe is crying because his friend won’t share his toys and also he is just really stressed with work and finding Maria, …

    Week Five Summary

    by
    I was worried about this week when I saw that we were working with audio. I usually do not create audio recordings, so I was worried this week would difficult because I lack some important knowledge in this area of storytelling. Just like always, though, everything turned out fine and I stepped out of my

    The Sound of Another Week Ending

    by
    Over the course of the last few weeks, we have looked elements of storytelling by exploring various media forms like writing and photography. This week, we furthered such exploration by digging into audio storytelling. Audio Storytelling encompasses a lot of things. It goes beyond the words and tone of voices and dialogue to include the […]

For example, make the listener know where they are if outside use birds, cars, etc. You can get sounds from https://freesound.org  Assignment Bank- Audio Assignments Welcome to Jurassic Park!

    Weekly Assignment #5

    by
    Week 5! This week was filled with a ton of audio assignments, far from my favorite thing to do! But this is mostly because I have never messed with audio before. When I first saw that we were dealing with audio assignments this week I immediately panicked! Audio is my least favorite thing to do. I tried to download Audacity but unfortunately I do not have enough gig-a-bytes to download it. So I decided to stick to Garageband that was already downloaded to my laptop. This week consisted of a lot. I will start with the Daily creates Day 1: Youth Literature Day 2: Day 3: Overall these daily assignments weren’t too bad! My favorite would be the technology one mostly because I think the meme was funny. Moon Graffiti Moon Graffiti was interesting but overall a great way to get exposed to radio podcasts. The videos we watched before this was also a lot of help in pointing out the important features of the podcast. Radio Bumper I had a lot of fun creating this radio bumper mostly because I was able to feature my brother! He happened to be in the same room at the time and joined in on the bumper! (-: Tweet-A-Long This assignment was very engaging and I think that it should be used by other professors for specific assignments. It was awesome to be able to converse with other classmates about the podcast. Assignments Assignment 1 – 90 Second Story. This assignment was so fun! I wish I could have thought of a better idea but I am happy with what I came up with. I think this was also a good step in the direction of learning more about podcasting and radio shows by using different sounds to create a story. Assignment 2 – Distorted sounds. This assignment was interesting and I tried to keep the sound as simple as possible. This was the first assignment that I was able to play around with the editing setting on GarageBand. Assignment 3 – Another really fun assignment!This assignment was so fun! I wish I had more time to create something better, but overall I am happy with how it turned out. Radio Show Ideas For this final assignment of the week we were asked to come up with radio show ideas for our future assignments. I didn’t really know what would make a good radio show due to my lack of experience in radio shows, but I came up with a few ideas that might be pretty cool to do. Questions I think sounds tell a story in a really interesting way. Sounds bring a lot of emphasis to certain scenes of a story and really help with the imagination of how the story is being told. Time and place are able to be portrayed through sounds because they really help in the “painting a picture’ process of the story. The graffiti assignment was a really good example of how sounds help in portraying what was going on in the story. This Week Overall this week was another stressful one for me! I am happy to say that next week will be a little lighter. I recently started a new job and it has taken a huge chunk of my time. I really enjoy this class and want to be able to put more time into it, so I am happy that I will gain extra hours next week to dedicate to this class. I think I was a little frustrated at first with the audio assignments but after a while of playing around with Garageband, I have a good idea of how the app works. I can’t wait to start on our assignment for next week!

    The One That Got Away

    Tell a story using nothing but sound effects. There can be no verbal communication, only sound effects. Use at least five different sounds that you find online. The story can be no longer than 90 seconds. Another example (by a UMW student): http://ds106.us/wp-content/audio/audio_story.mp3 Assignment Bank- Audio Assignments This short story could be relatable for some

    This was so much fun! The assignment was to “Create A Ds106 Radio Bumper” I decide to keep the dialogue simple and to the point, thank the audience for listneing and state the radio name. I found the music on https://freesound.org by typing in “spy music.” This sounded the most festive and on theme, and also like
