Introduction: Hi everyone! Thank you for coming back to my podcast. I have edited my podcast and finalized it to perfection. I got to learn the inside and outs of the music industry and what music is all about. I interviewed different people to understand how music impacts their lives. The Process: While creating this still image video, I learned the different techniques that we used in class and I applied it to my current video. I was able to move and rotate multiple animations. What I Have Learned: While working on my podcast, I have learned that creating the different animations takes time and we have to make sure that they are occurring at the exact points that we need them to move. This took more time than I expected, but in the end it was worth it, because I was able to get all of the animations where I wanted them to be. Conclusion: I have enjoyed learning how to make all of the animations in a still image video. I was able to learn about a topic that I was u...

Introduction: Hello everyone! It is almost time for a short break, but before we leave I have a short video for you all. The story is the same as my audio story but  I have added some animation effects to go with it. I hope you guys enjoy it! Audio Premier: This wasn't hard to make, but it did take longer than I thought it would. Towards the end it gets a little more simple. I added graphics that spin and rotate as well. I have used the different lessons that we used in class to add it to my video. The only element that I was not able to upload was the b-roll. I was thinking that when I do upload it, it would be from a concert that I have personally been to. This would add a great touch to it. I hope you all enjoy!

What I learned: This blog post wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I have already worked in Premier before in previous classes that I have taken in high school. The hardest part for while making this video, was getting the timing right for the photos to match up with the context that I was talking about. I have learned that in order for me to become more precise with my work, I have to become more patient. Overall,  I thought this blog is a good entry way for the videos that are going to be more complex in the near future.

Brief Overview:  My audio story is mainly about what music is to others and how they experience it whether that be through a music festival or just listening to it while doing homework. I interviewed many people about what music is to them and I also interviewed an expert who gives us her opinion on multiple different topics about music. Down below I have linked my full audio story and you are able to listen to it. The Process:  The process to making this audio story took a while because I interviewed four people to get all of the information that I needed in order to complete the story. We had to find background music that goes along with our story, so I picked an upbeat sound in order to keep my audience engaged throughout the whole story. My sound effect that I made is a guitar in the background when my expert (Julia Fiedler) was informing us what music means to her. The sound effect is me strumming the guitar and I lowered the volume so that my audienc...

Continuation of Coachella Overview: My audio story is about how a friend of mine went to a music festival and got an experience of a lifetime. Down below you are able to listen to it.    Experts and Characters: Within this story I will add an expert to the audio story who can add their expertise on the topic. I am planning on asking an Event Manager professor here at High Point University. The main character of my story is Sammi Smith. Sammi is one of my friends who got to go to the music festival and get tickets from a random guy in her hotel and his tickets got her All Access Backstage passes.  Expert: Professor Parrish Ms. Parrish will be a great person to interview for my audio story because she has background knowledge about how an event is ran and what goes on behind the scenes. She will be able to articulate well and provide useful information that will go along with the audio story. Expert: Dr. JW Turner Dr...

The Real Coachella Experience SoundCloud:  https://soundcloud.com/katie-brownlee-375665947/interview-mixdown2  Brief Overview: This assignment is supposed to be our base line for our Audio Story for an end of year project. I wasn't sure what I wanted my topic to be, but I decided to interview one of my friends because she always has an interesting story to tell. Sammi Smith is a freshman who goes to High Point University and she has encountered crazy events. When she was in high school, Sammi had the opportunity to go to a music festival in California which is Coachella. While she was there she and her friend got to experience this music festival like no other regular attendee there. The Process: We did all of our editing on Adobe Audition. In class we learned how to cut and edit our clips of audio to place what we want in the final product and to cut out what we don't want. I did most of my editing on the Multitrack and placed my mai...
