Week 5 in Summary




    For Week 5 we delved into the world of audio presentations, as well as the listening and editing that comes with it. I enjoyed learning Audacity on my own time, as well as the assignments that I created from scratch using it - it made me feel like I was my own DJ of sorts. The different audio dramas that I had listened to also left an impact on me; I've come to realize that I'd much rather listen to TV than to watch it, and that horror audio is a hell of a lot scarier than any horror movie i've ever seen. I'm also excited to work others on a radio show - not only am I eager to see my idea come to fruition, but also the ideas of others as well.




Here's my work for the week:

Experimenting with Song Editing

    For this Audio Assignment, I decided to take one of the songs that had been stuck in my head as of late, and experiment with Audacity, editing the song to make it sound to my liking.     I first took the entire song and reversed the intro, chorus, and outro separately - reversing the entire song would cause the outro to play first and the intro last, which wasn't what I wanted. I then altered the equalization settings on the song to bring out the bass and vocals, and make the background instrumentals quieter, but sharper. I added a slight soft distortion effect to the entire song, as well as boosted the bass and treble a little bit more, and voila. If you're curious on the name of the original song, it's the title backwards.

    For this assignment I was tasked with taking a movie trailer and mixing it with another trailer in whatever ways I could. When I saw this assignment I immediately thought of the 28 Days Later mashup that I had done before and was eager to do something similar. On a side note, doing the 'Bad and Sunny' was noticeably harder to complete due to the PC I was using at the time, and not wanting to spend time dealing with bad (but free) software I downloaded a Trial for Sony Vegas video editing software. The software is honestly the best I've used so far - better than iMovie even - so this video turned out pretty good. But it's bad. Really bad. Not for anyone too young or the faint of heart. Seriously. Enjoy.
