Digital Audio Day 4

Today was a big day for the Storytelling group. First, Tony filled in for Elizabeth, doing a great job of leading the students through a quick review of several key concepts. He showed them how to use Distortion and Flange in their projects, and how to remember to use the Track FX tool. Since this was a review, a lot of the students already knew how to use a lot of these tools already, and Jose and Jaylah were able to answer a lot of his questions without help.

Next, they went straight to work, finishing their "Stories Without Dialogue" exercise. They all did a great job staying on task and helping each other as needed. By the time they were finished, there were some really good projects, including Diana's, which was a humorous take on the Chariots of Fire theme, and Jose's, which was about a man running from a zombie attack. Good job, everyone!

Here's some nice screenshots of what they did:

After they finished that project, we let them get into their groups and work on their BTWs. I gave them a sheet with a bunch of helpful hints for writing script outlines, character sketches, mapping out settings and music/FX lists. The groups did some great work, delegating responsibility in preparation for getting their rough drafts for their scripts finished. They're due March 3rd, so good luck everybody!
