    In Roger Ebert’s How to read a movie, he makes connections to something that we discussed during the first week of class. He talked about the importance of the rule of thirds. He says that having a character on the left side of the screen is dominated by the person on the right. I think […]

    Scary noises, such as creaky doors and howling wind, could possibly trigger an apprehensive or uneasy emotion to the listener.  A conceivable conclusion is that the listener may feel threatened or simply just afraid of the unknown.  The audio assignment below is a compilation of undesirable sound effects, designed to create an environment of distress …

    A positive attitude changes everything

    by
    How you begin your day can affect the outcome.  Getting up on the wrong side of the bed is a figure of speech implying a grouchy or irritable state of mind, especially when the day’s activities are not in line with one’s normal disposition.  Your attitude and actions can have a strong effect on your …

    Moon Graffiti

    by
    I absolutely loved Moon Graffiti, the story itself poses an interesting what if question. The sounds add to the realistic nature of the story being told. The spacey music layered with the beeps of machines make if seem as though it actually happened. The quick sharp sounds add to the level of fear with the […]

    Audio Resourcefulness

    by
    I have always loved radio.  While I generally focus on the music, the local stations that I listen to are accompanied by great personalities who get me invested in what they are saying. Everything that Abumrad said about storytelling through radio made sense. A person can be creating visual through description and the listener can […]

    Understanding Design

    by
    Looking at Scher and Carson’s TED talks, although they were saying similar things. The way that they emoted changed the message that they were sending. Throughout Paula Scher’s talk she emphasizes the importance of working seriously but not solemnly. She claims that serious work is taking chances and designing in a way that the designer has […]
