I was unable to go to the workshop yesterday because I woke up with the most awful sore throat and spent the whole day in bed. Luckily one of my group members was in class and was able to show Brian the rough cut of our audio essay. We had a few issues with recording this at first as when I used the H2N Zoom Recorder, nothing I said was recorded… So I had to re do that which was a bit annoying. What Brian said was:
• Move underpants interview to the front- exemplary textual snippet
• Become more interactive with one another/ more playful tones/ mix up our voices
• Fade in between scene dialogue and self talking (makes more texture to the audio essay_ use dialogue as background music (don’t let this to be intruding).
I think this feed back will help us because we have the content of what needs to be addressed in our audio essay but how it is presented/what it sounds like needs to be edit more to be more flowing. I think in order to do this we all need to sit together and edit the sounds because I know I personally have issues with audition and find it very difficult to use so would struggle to piece parts of this together on my own.
So far I am really happy with how our group works together and think that we have the potential to do quite well in this. I think for now we are going to focus a bit on the video essay to get started on that rough cut, so we have both and then we can edit them each in more detail so they over lap in some areas but also do not share the same information.
