The purpose of this assignment was to pick our favorite poem or just any poem and recite it and then relate it back to a story. I choose a poem by E.E. Cummings (biography) called  I carry your heart with me. There are many interpretations with poetry, and you can find meanings in each line […]

This assignment was interesting and a little embarrassing. We had to watch a 30 second clip of Charlie Chaplin and then act it out ourselves using sound. My birthday was in October so acted out 1:00- 1:30. Of course for me always being surrounded by people I would get a section where there was a […]

This Audio Assignment (2.5 stars) had us take a song and put it in reverse for everyone to guess. I took one of my favorite songs. I really like the message and just believe its a beautiful song overall. The artist has enjoyed great success, but to me this will always …

I knew I wanted to do something ghosty for my radio bumper, so I knew that whispers and such were a must. I’m currently pretty sick and lost my voice, which surprisingly worked out well for this project! My raspy… Continue Reading →

For the past two weeks we have been working on producing our radio show. It has been a fun process learning the ins-and-outs of producing a radio show. The hardest part of the project was collaborating with each other to get everything together. I was lucky to have a group that worked well together. When we sat down for our… Read more →

This is the freaky sound story I chose to create from random sounds on the Internet. I wrote this story from sounds. I wanted it to tell the story about a zombie chasing someone, a dog barking in warning, and then someone screaming. I wanted the zombie noise at the end to leave the listener questioning whether or not the… Read more →

For this audio assignment, we added Foley sounds to a video featuring Charlie Chaplin. A Foley dub is when sound is added to a video to enhance the reception of a sound that wouldn’t otherwise been heard. The trick is the sounds are made with unrelated objects and means to …

For one of my audio assignments this week I did the make it 800% slower. The object of doing this is to transform a song to ambient noise. I found this so fascinating. I even-GASP downloaded audacity because I could not for the life of me figure out to make this happen on Garage Band. I feel like my computer… Read more →

For this assignment we were suppose to do a dramatic reading of a song of our choice and then put it against a beat. Our version of the song was suppose to be completely different from the original in its sound and beat. I chose White by Frank Ocean. It is one of my favorite […]

So its been a couple weeks since I’ve had to write a weekly summary and a lot has gone on since the last time so bare with me here. The last couple weeks I had to do 6 daily creates, 5 audio assignments (some of which were for the radio show on Tuesday) plus other […]

So these two weeks where fun. I like doing audio assignments. It is media that I am very comfortable working with. I like listening to stories. This week was made interesting by the group assignment. Group assignments are interesting and complicated when not completed online. It is all talked about in my reflection post. My […]

Interactive Shower I did this daily create over fall break and I had more options at my disposal around my home than in my dorm. I basically came up with this while I was brushing my teeth and I saw the shower in a perfect position to create a drawing of a stick figure taking […]

These past two weeks have been the most stressful so far. It seemed like everything that could go wrong for our Radio Show did. But we made it through it and now can look back on the past two weeks and learn from our mistakes, and laugh at everything that went wrong. Audio Assignments: Radio […]

Daily Create: DS106 Stationary   I did this on Monday of last week, and I was incredibly proud of myself for remember to actually start my Daily Creates nice and early. It felt good, I won’t lie. The prompt was… Continue Reading →

First up was the Big bad Guinea, he was so scary that he ruined a whole city with his strength! For my next daily create I gave a special piece of knowledge from a good book that I read in high school called A Thousand Splendid Suns. The post has a link to the quote […]

2 stars For the remainder of my audio assignment stars, I did the Beat Craigslist assignment, where we read a Craigslist ad that has interesting wording, and then record it like a beat poem. I love Craigslist. The majority of furniture in… Continue Reading →

My final audio project for this week was the commercial for the radio project. Since our radio show is Halloween/ Spooky themed, I decided to do a horror movie inspired commercial. A lot of the subject matter for our show… Continue Reading →

These past two weeks have been stressful, but the assignments have been fun in some cases. There were some easy things that I was able to get done quick and there were some challenges as well. Overall it was a good two weeks and I enjoyed working on the audio assignments. Audio Assignments Reverse Audio […]

The daily creates for this week were a little difficult to do this week, but still fun. It was hard to focus on these this week just because I was so focused on the other assignments and the Radio Show Project. Doodle in Real Life- (10/12): Today was a Special Day- (10/14): My Famous Last […]

This is what is going on outside my window.

One of the assignments that I had to do for this week was to make Foley sounds for a silent movie. The movie that I had to do was Charlie Chaplin’s The Circus. Fortunately I was not required to do Foley sounds for the whole video because that would be pretty challenging. Since my birthday […]

  When I first started off on this assignment, I was a bit nervous on how I would create sounds and properly match them with the film scene. However, I found it not to be that bad. After watching the video a few times, I identified 7 instances that could use sound. In order they […]

Since I was born in the month of February, I had the task of doing sound effects from 31 seconds into the video to the one minute mark. There wasn’t really much happening in this segment, but I tried my best to create the sounds from what I saw in the video. I could identify […]
