Starting Off
My motivation is in the gutter, but I must keep chugging on. I am excited for the upcoming weeks, as I am thrilled to start on the radio show. I can’t wait to get to know some of my peers as well as their course characters. We scheduled to do a Zoom meeting on Monday, as well as made a shared Google Doc in order to put all of our thoughts down and to start planning for the radio show.
Radio Show Progress and Promo
As far as progress goes, I love my group! I talk about it more in my blog post, Radio Show Progress, but so far, everything has gone good in terms of everyone staying on task. We were pretty quick to contact each other, as well as make a plan for a Zoom meeting in order to introduce ourselves. Also, we were comfortable in sharing ideas, as well as assigning tasks to people. Several radio bumpers and commercials have already been made, as well as an intro for the show!
For the promo, I knew I wanted to make a design that would represent our group, as well as the vibe we were going for during the show. I made it on Canva and used Google in order to find any images to use. I used a lot of neon, bright colors, as well as a font, that truly keeps the cyber-punk vibe. It is simple, yet effective as it gets across what the radio show is truly about.
Audio Assignments
For the first audio assignment, I did a radio bumper! I go more in depth about the process in my blog post about it, but I made it for the radio show for our group project! I made it as a back-up in case we would need an extra one, but I had fun with it! I liked being able to be creative in terms of making it more futuristic and tech-noir related.
For the second (and last) audio assignment, I made a commercial! We are going to use it in our radio show, and I knew I wanted to make it advertise something we could see in the near future. I decided to advertise a little robot helper that can help with everyday tasks, like cooking or cleaning. Like I said before, I go more in depth in my other blog post, but I wanted it to be realistic to the possible times we could live in in the future.
Daily Creates
Daily Create #1
For the first daily create of the week, we had to find or take a photo that represents confusion! I was a bit stumped by this, but I thought of some art pieces that definitely fit this prompt! Confusion by Cleofas Orozco Blancarte is mind-boggling and makes you think of what you are truly looking at.
Daily Create #2
For the second daily create of the week, we had to make a punch card! I decided to do an iconic line from the movie series, Hunger Games, since a new book was released this week about Haymitch, Katniss’s mentor.
Daily Create #3
For the last daily create, we were asked to recreate this pose. But, I wanted to do something a little different, so I made him a superhero! Flying through the city with a big, billowing cape, about to save the city!
Overall
Overall, it was a pretty good week! I was able to manage my time well, and I loved meeting my group members and getting to know them a bit more! I am very excited to do this radio show, as it will allow me to step outside the box, and also practice using audio equipment! Now on to the next week…
