    Radio Show Progress (Week 8)

    by
    Creating the radio show was just as fun as I thought it was going to be. Even with all the craziness with the cornovirus and school closing and becoming virtual, my group and I managed to produce a super cool radio show. The week before break we planned everything out that we needed to do, along with making all the components to go inside the show, such as the commercials and radio bumpers. Over break, Emily and Diana interviewed their parents (who were teens in the 80s) so we could use that in the show as well. Then, we all […]

    week seven

    by
    Happy Spring Break everyone! This week feels like the calm before the storm because I know when we get back from spring break everything is going to start picking up speed, not even just in this class but my other classes as well.  This week consisted of making progress with my radio show group, creating some audio clips for it and a poster as well. I had the most fun creating the poster because I love designing things. I think creating the audio assignments this week for the show will make the workload a lot less for when we come back and actually start recording (which I am a bit nervous about because I’ve never done something like this before) but I think it will be a great learning experience.  My favorite audio assignment I did was the radio commercial, which talked about signing up for self-defense classes. The only trouble I had this week with the audio assignments was finding free music that I think really fit the audio; that’s what I spent the most time on. I think the Spotify playlist will also come in handy when we want to add music to our show as well. My favorite daily create I did this week was the first one from Sunday:  this made me think of a quote from John Green's book […]

    audio for our show!

    by
      Hey everyone! So I chose to create a radio bumper, a commercial and a mixtape for this week’s audio assignments. Both the bumper and commercial were created through Audacity. I used music from Youtube’s Free Sound and I wrote the script for what I said in each audio on a Google Doc, practiced what I wanted to say a few times and then read off that script as I recorded (I’m still not happy with how my voice sounds in these but oh well, I don’t think I’ll ever be satisfied with how my voice sounds on audio!). I decided to create a Spotify playlist because I love creating playlists and finding new music. The music I chose ranges from artists that are popular today such as Billie Eillish, to artists that were more popular a while back, such as Elvis, so it’s an hour-long playlist with a wide range of songs. Most of the songs talk about crime or are generally “darker” themed songs. I think my favorite ones on this playlist are: “Jailhouse Rock”, “Bellyache” and “I Fought the Law”. I hope you guys enjoy what I found! Here’s the link to the playlist if you want to check it out. Also, free feel to check out my personal playlists as well. I know that I’m always looking for new music […]

    Radio Show Progress

    by
    The radio show project is finally here! This is something I have been looking forward to since I found out about it at the beginning of the semester. This week went by really quickly but I feel like I was able to get a decent amount of stuff done for the show going into spring break. The week started off with having to form a group. I already have one friend in the class, Zane, so we decided to be in a group together from the beginning. Then I found Diana, who is in my public speaking class, and then […]

    DS106 Radio Show Mixtape

    by
    So I had already done the mixtape assignment during audio week a while back but decided to do it again because I thought it was fitting to our radio show! I decided to pick out all the best theme songs from different 80s movies and create a playlist so that way when I am putting together the radio show I can pull from those songs to create the background music easier! I chose songs from classic 80s movies like “Pretty in Pink”, “Back to the Future” and of course, “The Breakfast Club”. I also threw in some other 80s theme […]

    Radio Show Design Project

    by
    The radio show is something I am really excited about. I have been brainstorming ideas since I heard about the project and am looking forward to actually getting started on it. My group decided we’d name our ourselves “The Breakfast Club” because we thought it fit our group in the sense that we are 4 strangers who are coming together to create something (and hopefully become friends through it). That is where I came up with the idea for my promotional poster. I took the Breakfast Club movie poster and photoshopped my group members heads on the heads of the […]

    What amazing podcasts!

    by
    I really enjoyed all the podcasts I listened to, and I was really proud of what everyone accomplished! While listening to some of these podcasts my classmates created, I was extremely intrigued with all of them. Also, we finished our midterm- and that’s always something to applaud everyone for. We’re half way done with this …

    My NEWER radio bumper

    by
    I know, I know, I’ve completed this before. However… that one was for the DS106 radio! Since we’re creating our own podcast, I’ve decided that I wanted to make a new one for ours! I really was excited about completing this! I made mine a little creepy with the background noise, since our first segment …

    Radio Show Promo

    by
    This week we had to create a form of multimedia to promote our radio show. I chose to go with a poster, but I was lost on how to convey it. I texted in our radio show group chat how everyone else did it and soon after I had my poster. I chose to downl...
