Also, we show Brian our audio rough cut, here is his suggestion:

• It represents an academic style of out audio essay, which applied and utilized a lot of acamedic resources.
• Some recorded voice in the audio  is too high. If we can’t edit it in software, we should re-record these part.
• It will make our audio essay seems more like a real radio if we apply more sound effects.

For me, the work of making a audio-based media is difficult for me because it is a new area for me to adapt to. Generally speaking, a audio-based media is much more harder than a vedio-based media. The most important really is that we can use a lot of visual resources in a vedio-based media. There is a word says seeing is the most accepatable way for people to mutually understand. However, the only method we can utilize to make the theme clear is sound. We can not present images to audiences to express the central theme. In the processing of audio-based media, the most challenge part is how to use sound effects, tone of people taking, emotional transformation and efficently representation of footages, despite these areas are still crucial to vedio-based media. During my processing work, I guadually utilized sound effects into the media, but the rough cut effect does not reach the expecting standard. Brian figured this issue out and suggest me to pay more effort on this problem. I understand this issue and fix it up in next few days.
