News Cast

 

Here is the news report Stacey and i created :) This was created through the computer programme Audacity, basically we had to create a podcast with news stories in it. I really enjoyed this lesson as Stacey and i had to create different voices etc. and the stories were topical and what we found interesting :)

Importance of sound . . . . . . . .

“Sound effects play an important role in conveying action. Music helps express emotion.” Michael Geisler

This statement is true to me, i believe that music and certain sounds have a huge impact on a persons emotion. Particular genres of music can either make a person feel happy or sad, it can change moods for the better or for the worse. I find that listening to a particular singer or band will make me feel happy when i'm down or make me feel more excited. When a film or short animation has certain music or sounds it sets the tone and tells you what it is going to be like, e.g: if the intro is up beat or slow. Also, when a particular song is put in an animation or film it can make you think of different memories that you associate with it or from a time in your life. )

Zu3D our animation - Pirate on the loose!

Here is mine and Gabriela's Zu3D stop motion animation, titled Pirate on the loose!!!

I have to say i really really enjoyed doing this, we found it relatively easy to do although it did have its set backs:

• couldn't see the faces of the little characters as the picture wasn't good on the webcam
• lighting due to people walking past and the shadows
• thinking of enough to do due to the video having to be one minute

Overall it was really fun and interesting to do! :)
