In the final production of Mateo’s Nighttime Delights, Mateo interviewed aquaculture tycoon Matthew Blendermann about his literacy given the fact that the visionary of fishes recently wrote a book!
The reason I chose this form of media is that if I did a video, I feel as though I would try to make it flashy and honestly that would’ve made my life about 500% harder than it had to be.
In terms of learning how to use Audacity, it honestly was a breeze. It took me about 5 minutes to understand how to edit the audio to make (somewhat) seamless transitions.
In terms of drafting the entire thing it probably took me about an hour, working with what I would say and how to make it seem like something not just thrown together in the last 30 minutes of the last day.
In terms of editing, I probably spent close to an hour and a half due to my roommates constantly coming in and out of our room or just yelling something to intentionally mess up the audio for me. I didn’t remove sections of audio that contained pauses or moments where I lost track of what I was supposed to say because that made it seem more natural.
Overall, this project was a nice change, though now that I have to let other people listen to this it seems slightly cringy.
I like that you formatted your literacy project as sort of an interview where you were asked to tell your story, I thought the different voice were funny. I think you used the medium pretty well and did your research correctly. I would probably speak a little louder, so we can hear you in a clear concise manner.
