SoundSlide Project Revealed

Okay, now that everything is set, I can tell everyone what my group is doing are soundslide project on.

We are doing our project on a women who worked at a Senior home across the street from our school.

She is the activities director.

She helps keep the Seniors active and help coordinate events for them.

She has even build a close relationship with most, if not all, of the Seniors who are living there.

I'm excited to finish this project and can't wait to post it on a future blog.

We have the audio and the photos done.

In our next class, we will set up the slides and put in the edited audio.

By the next class period (which will be next Tuesday since this Thursdays class will be canceled do to a journalism conference that some of the students will attend), we will finish up the project.

Catching Up on What I've Been Up To

It's been a while since I've blogged. Here are a couple of updates since my last blog post.

My news audio has become a success.

I was able to get two sources and edit the audio within 2:30 before Spring Break.

The next project I am working on is a group project.

The class will be working on soundslide shows.

Each group will have people take photos, interview the source, edit the audio and put the photos and audio together.

The assignment is to find somebody who has an interesting career and do a feature story on them.

I don't want to say what my group is working on right now because I want to be able to be sure the project works out.

I'll let you know on the next blog all of the details.

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.
