THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS THE EXPECTATIONS FOR THE DAY!

Our 1st semester will focus on media creation, while or 2nd semester will focus more on coding.

Regardless of the lesson, FouloisTech.info should be your destination every time you come into class. This space will be used to provide announcements, lessons, and other resources.

  1. So You Want To Be A Media Arts Major...
  2. Objective:
    1. Students will record their podcast scripts to amplify their voices and express their interests.
  3. Announcements:

  5. Audio Quiz 2 

  6. Today's Lesson: Audio 4: Podcast Recording
    1. Grading Rubric:
      4 Pts Recording is free of misspoken words and "verbal filler" like "um," "uh," and so on.
      3 Pts Podcast script has music selected from the mp3 downloads list at FouloisTech.infoLinks to an external site., with its citation included as part of the script.
      3 Points Spoken content and chosen music fit together well.
    2. To begin, you will first need to make sure you handed in your Audio 3 assignment. Without your script you will not have anything to record!
    3. Your script needed to have music. Use this link to find the song mentioned in your citations, then download it to your computer.
    4. Go to WeVideo and click the "Log In" button. You should have set up your account during our Audio 2 lesson.
    5. The recording steps will be the same as the Audio 2 lesson, but we will also be uploading the music you selected using the "Add Media" button!
    6. It's important to not have your music be too loud compared to your recording. Mr. Smith will show you how to adjust the volume to fix this.
    7. It will usually also be necessary to trim the music, whether the music is too long or too short compared to your recording.
      1. (This mostly involves cutting out everything but the first 15 seconds and last 15 seconds of the music, then having it fade to silence in the beginning and fade in from silence at the end. Again, Mr. Smith will show you how to do this.)
    8. When you're finished, export your work and upload it to Canvas like you were shown in Audio 2.
