So, for my first post of week 5, I had said somethings that I now regret. I was struggling to get used to working with sound effects and putting all that together and was not pleased with my progress. Now that I’ve played around and gotten used to it, it’s kind of fun. It’s still ... Read moreCreating a City

I have a lot of sleepless nights and I love listening to the outdoors. The nights are a lot more quite where I live now than when I was in Pennsylvania. There were a lot of trains where I used to live and I love that sound (it’s nostalgic almost), but it makes for a ... Read moreStory of the Night

September 26, 2019

For this 4 star audio assignment, my mission was to make a mixtape! I decided to make a playlist with songs inspired by the main cast of the Breakfast Club. I used spotify to easily give me access to any song I could need, and I chose three tracks for each kid. Track 1-3 Claire …

“Moon Graffiti” Reflection

September 25, 2019

Listening to Moon Graffiti is actually my first encounter with a podcast as a storytelling medium. The only other podcast I’ve heard before is My Brother, My Brother and Me, which isn’t a drama or a narrative. Overall, I thought that science-fiction based off of real events was an interesting genre for a story. I’ve …

4 Stars This assignment was much harder than I was anticipating. It was very hard not using dialogue move a story along. I ended up using a serene forest sound as my breakup in between scenes. The weird noise that is repeated several times is a fox noise. I was disappointed I couldn’t find a…

Meg’s Radio Bumper

September 25, 2019

Let me start off saying I hate listening to my own voice. For this I took my favorite song from a game called Katamari Damacy and ran it through several audio effects in audacity to get it sounding different than the original. I pitched it down, added reverb and distortion to make it sound echo-y. …

Sound drives the whole story of a movie. When there isn’t sound in an audio clip there isn’t any emotional experience that goes along with it. Sound creates suspense, the feeling of hope, joy, and concern. A movie without any background noise is empty and the emotions don’t come. Audio storytelling is just as important…

Moon Graffiti was a perfect example of audio storytelling. It pulls the listener along to the narrative and helps them create the story in their head. Something that was really interesting that Jad Abumrad said in “How Radio Creates Empathy”, is that what is so great about radio is that since there is the absence … Continue reading "The Effects of Audio Storytelling"
