    Week 4.. Over and Done

    by
    This week in ds106 was exciting, to say the least.  I loved the audio assignments and getting to work with GarageBand.  I am familiar with Audacity in its entirety, so I wanted to play with GarageBand on my Macbook to learn some new software.  The first assignment I did using GarageBand was my Call me a...

    Touch of Evil and the Ambience of Film Noir

    by
    For this week, we were asked to look at different readings and video of Film Noir. We were asked to compare and contrast the effects of the audio in two film openings and reading one of two articles on the audio in Film Noir. First, I looked at the two film openings. Both were from...

    You Talkin’ to Him?

    by
    This is the line remix assignment, worth 3 points. This idea immediately came to mind when I read the assignment. It’s a pretty natural transition that sounds surprisingly similar to the original.

    Bad Day at the Beach

    by
    The assignment “emotions through sound” (3 pts) was harder than I expected. I wanted to do this assignment because I know that different sounds can make me feel happy or sad, and I wanted to play around with sound effects more. At first, I was positive that I would create...

    Thanks for tuning in – Weekly Summary, Week 4

    by
      We are just plowing through the senses here in noir106. After straining my eyes last week, I was excited to lean back and enjoy the soothing sounds of noir106 audio week. Hahahaha, boy was I quickly reminded that noir isn’t supposed to be soothing or relaxing or quaint. No. Noir audio is all about […]

    Audio makes stories

    by
    Audio is very important for just about everything. Even when you read a book there is still audio but it is what you come up with and what you think would fit. The sound that is found in stories is what changes the mood and tells the audience how they should feel. I feel like […]

    by
    Admin Note: This is a required audio assignment involving the character Tom Blair for the week of 2/1 to 2/8. How the heck are ya? It’s your ole’ pal Tom again. Just thought maybe you’d be curious as to what a day (I should say night) of work for me sounds like, given that you’re […]

    Touch of Evil

    by
    In the first video there is a feeling of authenticity from the sounds you hear. It is as if you can imagine being in the film with the characters. As much as I love music the prevalent horn and sax section in the second video is abrasive to the ears and takes you out of […]

    Sound Fx Story

    by
    For this a required Audio Assignment this week, we were instructed to tell a story using only audio and sound fx.  I did use some music for added effect, so hopefully I don’t get any points taken off for that! When trying to come up with ideas for this sound Fx story, I browsed around... Read more »

    Radio Show: Noir Remixed

    by
    To make a 20-30 minute radio show seems like a monumental task right now, but there are a few things that might make it more interesting. First of all, I think murder mysteries are fun to listen to, but kind of overdone. I think it would be hard to keep...

    “There Is A Ticking Noise In My Head!”

    by
    It is amazing how much sounds affect your feelings when you watch a video. This week, we were asked to watch two different versions of A Touch of Evil. The first version used music that was much more upbeat, and less eerie, while the second version started out with very dark and creepy music. There are a […]

This week focused on the audio aspect of storytelling and noir which is now well known to be a crucial aspect of any storytelling piece.

    Touch of Evil Sounds

    by
    The Touch of Evil Opening Shot and Touch of Evil (no restored version) have very different feels to them, even though the action is all the same. The differences also connect to the Helen Hanson reading “The Ambiance of Film Noir” about how sound is an essential component to noir....
