For my audio project, I want to try and portray the freshman year experience through audio clips that tell a story from their first days at Pitt until their last day in the dorms. I want to try and use humor in the beginning, to try and depict their lack of experience and overall confusion to the world around them. The flow of the story that my audio track will follow will be the classic exposition, rising action climax and falling action. For the exposition, I want to include clips that have silly questions that only a freshman would ask, for example “Where is market central at?” For the rising action, I want to include tracks that have typical freshman questions such as “Can you buy me beer?” and other things the freshies say. For the climax, I would like to include a track that kind of shows them starting to adapt to the college lifestyle and shows them starting to get used to the new world they have stepped into. Final exams will also play a part in the climax. For the falling action, the freshman quotes will be geared towards leaving the dorms, looking for off campus apartments and declaring their major. The software I plan on using will be either Adobe Premiere Pro or Audacity. I am more familiar with using Adobe Premiere Pro, but I would like to learn different software such as Audacity, plus I believe compiling an audio track would be easier in audacity. I want to use different music in the background to try and contribute to the feeling of confusion that the freshman have. I also would like to add noises such as elevators, bottles clinking, buses passing by, etc. to add to the city vibe and make the video more realistic.
