Here is my Sound Effects Story that is 3 1/2 points. It was really fun to make but it was definitely harder than the radio bumper. I had to search for sounds on freesound.org and it was hard to find the exact sounds I wanted. I got all my sounds and began importing them into...
This week our focus is audio in storytelling and more specifically the use of audio in noir. Audio is another form of communication that used to convey an idea or a thought. What I think makes audio storytelling interesting that it enhances the story. Last week we focused on the visual aspect of story telling […]
One of the audio assignments I chose to do this week was emotion through sound for three stars. I chose to do stress because it completely reflects how I’ve felt the past couple days. I’ve had assignment after assignment due this week and next week I have two exams worth 20% of each of those classes’ […]
This is a daily create celebrating International Dot Day. I chose this picture because to the human eye, we see thousands of bright dots (stars..) in the sky. When they are all together, they make up the universe aka THE BIG DOT…..
My idea for this radio bumper came from combining several sounds and elements. I noticed while listening to ds106radio that most of the bumpers caught my attention by using loud sounds in the beginning. So for this reason I started … Continue reading →
This week in Noir 106, we are focusing on the audible aspects of digital storytelling. These include dialogue, sound effects, and nondiegetic music.

This week was filled with audio assignments. I thought that the pictures took me out of my comfort zone, this audio stuff was harder then I ever thought. I spent hours just playing with Audacity trying to figure it out, and I’m still not very good at it. I sent out a desperate tweet on … Continue reading 4 Down, 12 to go→
I have a hard time brainstorming by myself, I like to bounce ideas off other people. With that being said, here are a few things I have thought of: We could do a Noir version of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven” or the “Tell Tale Heart” both of these seem very Noir to me.
This week I chose to do the “I’m Sorry” picture for my daily create. I chose a picture of a sleeping puppy because of my obvious “I love dogs” reason and I also added an “I’m Sorry” for something that a typical puppy would do, all my dogs owners know what I’m talking about with this … Continue reading Dailies!
Sound is the ribbon that ties everything together whether it be movies, radio shows, or podcasts. Sound enhances everything and creates a more dimensional and dramatic effect for the media.

Many noir radio shows were based from movies, but what about going in a different direction and basing it on a book? I’ve really been scratching my head all week trying to figure out an idea for a radio show. This morning I was talking to one of my friends who’s a Spanish/English double major […]
Touch of Evil – Audio Comparison To begin this segment of my reflections, I will begin discussing two different versions of the Touch of Evil openings, one video with enhanced audio and another video with the original film audio.

To deliver the image to the listener, audio is used with sounds effects. In noir films audio is important; for example the Touch of Evil opening shot … Continue reading Think about Audio Storytelling→

Here is my audio storytelling assignment with just sounds. It was supposed to be someone woken up from snoring with large noises, then a door slamming because they went to go see what it was, then they went walking and ended up finding a flood, hence the water flowing. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/sound-effects-story/ (3 1/2 stars)
