There were many new skills that I learned by completing this audio project. First and foremost, preparing questions before an interview that could potentially become an interesting story. Otherwise, the interview will consist of random comments and not flow well. Second, editing the audio with patience. Some interviewees may have long pauses and “ums,” so having good skills in editing will help the audio flow smoothly with natural transitions.
If given a second chance on this assignment, I would prepare better questions that will lead to interesting responses. I would also go edit out the “um” that I missed that was right in the middle of a response. And, of course, I would try to be more comfortable conducting the interview.
The most challenging part of this assignment was the editing. I was nervous about using Final Cut Pro because the program has never been my friend. I overcame this challenge by seeking help and advice. I’m the kind of person who tries to figure it out for myself but, in this case, I found it helpful to just ask. (Thank you, Austin Newton.)
In total, it took me two to three hours to complete this project from start to finish.
