Toady in communication technology class was a very productive day on our audio commercial. My friend and I finished all the recording for our Shubang commercial. I was surprised at how quickly we managed to do all the recording. After we had finished the recording, my friend and I started editing our rcordings, and trying out some effects.

Today in communication technology class, group F continued sketching out the script for our Shubang commercial. We also started looking for music, and sound effects on the internet and on garage band. I found that the sound effects on garage band were pretty good, and very convenient to insert in. HOwever, the sounds tat we couldnt find were much harder to insert and even download. We found it very annoying, because many of the files online didnt download.

Today was a hardworking day in communication technology class. Our audio group is hard at work on our script for the project. Mr. Tammik took up a part of the work period today showing us the proper formatting and recording for the commercial. Audio commercial scripts are organized in a specific manner. Music, or jingles (short melodies) are underlined with a solid line, while sound effects are underlined with a broken, dashed line. The people working for radio stations will sit on a recording studio and record script after script of commercial. The example commercial that was recorded was very well done. The music fit well with the script, and the sound effects added good emphasis and created an engaging atmosphere for the listener. Hopefully, our group will create an equally well-done radio commercial.

Communication technology class today was the third day to work on our audio radio commmercial projects. My group started on the script today for the commercial. The radio commercial for our service has to be exactly 30 seconds long. Mr. Tammik explained that actual radio stations would cut off commercials if they went over the set time limit. Group F will have to be very precise in the recording and editing of the commercial so that we do not go over or have less than the 30 seconds we are alloted. The script for the commercial is coming along rather well. I feel fortunate that my group members have good presenting skills for the recording.

Communication technology class today was the second day to work on our audio projects. My group continued hashing out our product profile, and determining the target market. This part of the audio assignment was really very strenuous and annoying. I feel that we should have more time to work on the actual recording of the commercial, because there are numerous technical things that one has to figure out. It's true that we need to have a good idea of the audience that is targeted and the information about the product or service. However, spending an unnecessary amount of time on these things is not efficient. As a result, i volunteered to finish the target market and product profile for homework so that we could start the script for the commercial.

Today in communication technology class was the commencement of our audio project. This project was to be the third and final assignment for this round of audio, video, and graphics. This audio project required us to create a radio advertisement for an imaginary product or service, which was aimed at a specific audience. My group decided to create a "zero gravity bumper car" service called "Shubang". Our first order of business for the project was to find and record several definitions of jargon related to our project. As per usual, we split up the definitions for homework. Tomorrow, we will be getting top work with the target market and product profile of Shubang. Mr. Tammik says that the audio project is the easier of the projects, so hopefully my group will do well.

Day Forty=P

Today was the FINAL day to finish our graphics projects. Our graphics group had mostly merging and spelling names out left, so we were not very behind. We were able to get everything done fairly quickly, although we did run into some trouble with the technicalities of making PDFs. As a result, we had to stay afterschool to fininsh up the last bit of the assignment. Fortunatly, everything was done on time for once, and we were able to sumbit the project at the deadline. As i mentioned before, I found this project to much easier and less stressful. I think I have found a personal interest in graphics. :)

Day 3x13

Today was a very very busy day in communication technology. Our graphics group was still had merging and the spelling of names to do for our projects. We also had to create the final PDF for all the files, and gather a list of 10 common modern symbols. Since we were a little tight on time, we had to work at lunch today. Our group was able to completely finish our characters, and mangaed to begin the merging by the end of class. Mr. Tammik allowed us an extra day of working for the project, because he realized that grahics groups always were scrambling to fininsh everything. Today was also the quiz for the assignments. Yet again, our group did rather well on the quiz.

Day thirty Eight!

Today in communicatoin technology class was another day spent on our graphics project. This period was the second last period to get everything done to submit for tomorrow. Our group had basically done our characters (or most of them) so I was able to start a sheet that we would merge the entire alphabet on. I was able to arrange some of the characters onto the sheet, but since m,any of the group members still had not completely finished their letters, very little was accomplished. We plan to work tomorrow at lunch to finish the merging, spelling of names, and submission.

Day 30 +7

Today in communication technology class was another day spent on the graphics project. As well, our group was FINALLY able to finish and submit our video projects to Mr. Tammik. What a relief! Today, we were able to learn how to add a gradient onto our images in order to give them a realistic appearence. I found the gradients to be very fun to use, and I was able to completely finish my pictures. Tomorrow, we plan to merge our characters into the entire alphabet sheet, and to create our names. Tomorrow will also be the quiz for the graphics project. Our group is actually up to date with everything. This assignment is definitly less stressful than the other!

Day 36 =)

Monday in communication technology class was spent again on the graphics project. As I had mostly finished my characters and definitions, I decided to help my other group members with drawing their characters, as they did not have as steady a hand as I did with the mouse. I spent most of the period helping my friend with her drawings. What I find especially nice about Illustrator's brush tool is that it kind of "smooths out" the lines in your drawing to make them more appealing. The rest of the members of my group are still a bit behind on their drawings, but it seems that they will be able to finish in time.
