In week 11’s workshop, we were sent out to do another audio exercise. This time we weren’t put into our project brief teams, we had to work in pairs to record an audio extract while also having to edit it for later as well. I recorded with my partner a comedic radio broadcast of a apocalyptic world, we recorded inside a closed off small edit suite for the best sound we can get possible and recorded some atmos to make it sound as close to a apocalyptic world as possible by going near something that was blowing air out, as we still wanted to give the feel we were underground with tubes running along. After recording we were taught how to use audition, learning how to piece everything together and learning how to use the fades, became very useful for the project. I think the most important thing learning in audition was organization, we had to be very organised with the things we do, because when working with audio, file names play an important role, as we don’t have visual identification like in videos, we must name our audio files so we know what we are working with. But the workshop was to get a very basic understanding in recording and using the editing program. Here is how my quick edit audio extract came out.

After the exercise, we listened to another audio extract, though this one seemed more interesting than the one from the week before, it seemed less personal than the last, but it still felt very informative in listening into the person’s life
