My favorite project this semester was the audio project. I really enjoyed every aspect of it. I enjoyed being interviewed, I enjoyed answering questions about my background in music, and I absolutely love doing audio engineering, it’s been a hobby of mine since the mid-2000’s.

 

The skill that I think I will use most in the future is the audio project. I have been recording music for almost two decades and, although it is not necessarily a new skill, it will definitely be something that I use in the future.

 

I am aspiring to go to law school after I graduate WSU so I plan on being a lawyer. I could potentially use the video production skills I learned in this class if I have evidence I want to present to the judge on film. I could also use the audio skills that we went over in this class to clean up audio in case I need to use an audio clip that was collected as evidence, but it is inaudible or barley audible. Knowing how to adjust the skills and cut tracks down to exactly what is needed is a useful skill.

 

This class provided an array of useful skills. In the future, projects involving augmented reality (AR) may be useful as that is a current trend in technology. I would really like to know what programs AR projects are created in, how the other skills, like logo design, could be incorporated into an AR project, and if you could have a section that you created a project that encompassed all of the pieces into an AR experience. A project like that would really help get people ready for what is coming out now and what we could do in the future. I feel like this is a more important skill that logo design in the context of a communication class in this day and age.

 

The tutorials were fairly straight forward, although it would have been nice if they had used the same version of the software that we were using. This caused a bit of frustration and that could have been easily circumvented by diligence by the instructor.
