  • Radio Show and Week 10 Summary

    This week was spent recording and editing the show, so no new content was made for it. We did run into the technical difficulty of the show not being long enough, we tried to extend the script, but it’s still on the shorter side. However, I’m proud of what we made and the way we communicated as a team.

    Aside from recording my part, I was in charge of double checking the editing of everyone’s individual parts together and the sound effect/music timing, and I, myself, had to put the bumpers and ads into the final product.

  • Promo Poster

    Admittedly, this week entirely got away from me with work emergencies and doctors appointments, but I was able to get the promo poster done for our group! I took inspiration from the bumper sticker made earlier this week by my groupmate. They had mentioned in their write up of struggling how to make the font futuristic, so I thought adding some glitch-like font effects would maybe help the cause. I tried to keep with their color and logo choices, but add a bit more nuance because a poster provides more space than a bumper sticker.

  • DS106 Radio Reflection

    For the live listening session this week, I participated in the Wednesday session which consisted of the last two episodes of “Limetown”. It took me a couple minutes to acclimate to the plot and what was going on since I hadn’t heard the prior episodes, but once I was able to distinguish the voices, I felt like I could easily decipher what was going on. The biggest thing, of course, was analysing the auditory cues. I found it so fascinating to really make myself think about how just a simple instrumental backing track can change a whole mood and make the listener feel with the characters. I also loved the use of auditory cues to relay setting, like when Lia and Diedre were outside, you could here the ambient outdoor sounds. When they moved to the car, the ambient noise was absent, their voices were clearer, and audio editing made it slightly resonant to cue that they were in a small space where sound was bouncing off all around them. I had to tune out for the last 10 minutes as I had to go to my acapella rehearsals, but I felt like in the 50 minutes that I was listening, I got a lot out of it in terms of the impact and use of music, sound effects, and general sound mixing.
