I enjoyed working with an audio program to build a message to communicate a specific message. The problems I had is learning a free based program because I am not an audio person. I felt I did not have enough time to learn a new program and develop true skills to make the program work properly. My skills were rudimentary at best and that part of it I did not care about. I wanted time to develop a message and more time to be able to communicate the message I wanted to tell. I also felt that not being able to use video, even if it was simple pictures messed up my message all together. I wanted to build all of the senses and create a whole story, not just part of it.
The part of taking a piece from four different people’s audio file was really difficult and I did not care for it at all. I felt I was being forced to try and make something work that I did not really want. In my opinion I do not feel this is a form of collaboration, but an attempt to force fit something that may or may not work. I understand that some things will get messy and be difficult to create, but I am hoping more for something I can use in my portfolio, and not something messy and incomplete because it has not been polished properly. I feel a little lost in this class because it was not what I thought it would be and I am struggling to understand the purpose of swapping ideas in the manner we are doing. I wanted to create a large project with all elements of voice, video, photos, and words together that would work with my thesis, but I feel this is more of a theory class than an actual workshop style class.
