New Media Project

I enjoyed working on this project. It reminded me of how much I enjoy video editing, which is something I have not done for several years. Since I do have video editing experience, I decided to try the audio editing. In many ways, audio editing is very similar to video editing. You have to piece together various components to make a cohesive final project. I definitely noticed different aesthetic dimensions with audio editing. I focused a lot more on the voice-over and the music choice. For the music overlay, I started out with the beginning of the "Fall in the River" song. I then discovered towards the end of the song that the mood and feel of the song drastically changes. The song has a sort of avant-garde sound with a mix of ambient and outdoor sounds. I really liked how this part of the song went with the voice-over pieces that I had chosen. I had to copy this section of the song and edit it together in order for it to be long enough to go with the voice-over.

This project has reawakened my enjoyment of editing. I hope to find more project in the future where I can utilize these skills.

Attached is a copy of the audio piece that I edited together:
