This class, we focus on audio essay that I am confused for a long time. First of all, Professor Louis showed us a radio about sleep. This radio last more than 15 minutes, and I did enjoy the voice of broadcaster. And also, the music of this audio is very peaceful and slowly, setting off the topic that is sleep. Maybe because of the time, lots of students get comfortable, and they wanted to go to sleep. Actually, I had the same feeling too.
To analyze this radio as an example, I could talk about the elements firstly. Music, narration, SFX/spot sounds, interviews, atmos, sync sound, conversations are elements of this radio. Moreover, archival recordings, vox pops and phone call are also the elements of the radio.
To introduce the radio and let audience to understand what this radio focus on. So at the beginning, the broadcaster asks a question that is why we sleep. This question sounds boring, however, I think that sometimes the boring question could attract more attention from audience.
After this good example, we set with our group members in order to discuss the Annotated bibliography that we will submit next Wednesday. And in a week, I need to read 6 articles about initiative and write an annotated bibliography.
