Person on the Street
Introduction
My
Topic is about why it is important to learn history in school. As a history
buff I have heard this question a lot. Both from those who dreed filling Gen-Ed
requirements and from those who have a true appreciation for the study. I asked
my older sister who has gone through schooling and graduated college, my mother
and her knowledge of old schooling, and my roommate Derek who I thought would
appreciate historical studies. I also plan to acquire two random accounts from people
I stop in public, but both of the times I tried before the deadline my audio went
static. My expert? Dr. Amanda Allen, Highpoint University’s British historian,
and my two-time professor. Someone who’s method of teaching and approach I enjoy
thoroughly.
Sounds and Ambient
For
sounds and ambient noises, I wanted to allow to space around me to fill them. For
my interviews with my mother and sister, I was in a bustling family room. For my
second attempt of “people of the street” recordings, after my first recordings turned
out to be static messes, I hope to get a solid bit of natural sounds from them.
I also plan to incorporate some old tavern music, or something more instrumental
and rustic on the intro and outro of the clip, adding that historical feel that
we all love from those history YouTube videos.
Editing Experience
Horrible, sadly. My first to bits of audio that I recorded, failed to produce any sound that was distinguishable. Assuming I have a thumb over the mic on my phone, I had to scrap them both. Left with last minute bits I grabbed from my family and roommate. In the final, I will grab true people on the street interviews again and use those. So, I didn’t spend to much time editing. Just aligning the clips and cutting out the end where I said thank you and took to long to hit stop.
