Audio Project is Complete

I am happy to say that my audio project is complete and on time.

The review I did was for the Space Jam soundtrack.

The versions we did was one with music and one without music.

I'm overal happy with both of these audio projects.

The one thing I could have done better was the ending part of the music piece.

The last song didn't come together at all, however I add to end it in two minutes.

For the sake of time, I had to put the last song in while I was talking.

All of the other ones had my audio voice, then the music.

Once again, I can't post it on my blog.

My Journalism instructor could not find his flash drive.

I won't make any promises about posting my audio project on the blog.

If we end up finding it, I'll post it.

Are next assignment is a new audio project, only this time, we have to do a news story that is going around campus.

The hardest part about this next assignment is finding out what's going on around campus.

Update on the Audio Project

Not much to talk about with my audio project. Everything is moving along pretty well.

Last week I've just edited out the "uh's" and the stuttering out of my audio piece.

By the next class, I will add music to my audio piece.

I would like to get done with everything tomorrow, but my main goal is to finish by Thursday. 

Audio Project in Progress

The audio project is going well so far.

I'm doing mine on the Space Jam soundtrack.

I wanted to do something that I really enjoyed listening to.

I thought my vocal range was good, but I might my voice might need to be a little higher though.

Right now, I'm cleaning up any of the "uh's" stuttering words that I've said on the audio.

On Thursday, I will be adding music to my audio piece.

I'm hoping the audio will be done by next Tuesday.

Audio Editing Project

Are next project is the audio project.

Are homework assignment is to write a review on a movie or a song to be prepared for the next class.

From there, we record ourselves and add sound to whatever music we have for that review.

I'm familiar with the Garage Band program that we will be using.

However, it has been a while since I've used it, so I will need to brush up on my skills tomorrow.

I'll let everyone know how the project came out on the next blog.

HTML's are No Joke

It's been a while since I've blogged, my apologies.

Lately, I haven't balanced my schedule the way I should have.

I still haven't been able to figure out how to post visual resumes in blogs.

However, we did move on to, in my opinion, the hardest assignment yet, basic HTML.

This time around, the class had a full lecture on basic HTML.

The class had to put together an interactive page.

We had to put five links to the front page make them clickable. Actually how you would when clicking on a link.

We had a choice to do whatever we wanted, but it was preferred that we keep it at Cerritos College.

Picking a subject was tough consider that I struggled with HTML's.

I went from Track and Field, to the campus radio station, and finally decided to do Cerritos College major.

This has to be the worst assignment I've ever done in any class in my life.

I've basically put together a bunch of links together.

I could go on and on about how bad it is, however, I will end by saying that I am not proud of my work that I've put in on this assignment.

I'm just glad we are moving on. The class is now getting into audio editing.

I'll explain that on the next blog.

  

Learning About Visual Resumes

Last Thursday we learned about Visual Resumes.

A Visual Resume is like a standard resume with more graphs, pie charts and statistics.

It has more features to use than just typing up a resume itself.

Click here to view my Visual Resume.

Are assignment for the class is to do further research on the advantages and disadvantages of Visual Resumes. Here is the overall information that I've found:

 Advantages:

• Visual Resumes are creative
• Visual Resumes help see everything clearer
• It is structured in a set order
• It helps to give a lot of information in a brief, simple way

Disadvantages:

• Visual Resumes are not for every job. Some employers prefer to have a traditional resume
• Some employers will say the opposite about the resume being easy to read and say they may have to look everywhere to find the main point
• Creating a quality Visual Resume would cost money
• There may be a higher chance of someone lying on a Visual Resume than a regular resume.

Infograph is Done, and I'm All Caught Up with Work

The Infographs are done and I have officially caught up with all of my assignments up to this point.

The information that I gathered for my Infograph was statistics from the Fall 2011 and 2012 term.

I decided to do a compare and contrast between both of the Fall terms.

The information came from the Chancellor's Office website.

The enrollment in Fall 2011 in California Community Colleges statewide was over 1,000,000 students. In 2012, it dropped all the way to over 282,000 students.

I did a full breakdown by each student who enrolled from first-time students to returning students, as well as others.

It feels good to get caught up with all of the work I've done so far. I can't wait for class tomorrow.

The Infograph will be posted as soon as I find out how to post them.
