What inspired this story was that I wanted to create a platform that represented and reflected my topic of healthy lifestyle changes and perspectives of others and what they think about this topic. Because of this, I decided to do an interview story because this topic, especially going vegan can be pretty conflicting for some and not everyone agrees so I thought it would be interesting to get the perspective of my friend shea who is not vegan and what her viewpoint on this was. In the process of this creation, I wanted to tell the interview just how it was and not make too big of a change since everything that was said in the interview was relevant and valuable to the story. Initially, the two segments of this story were divided and I wanted to merge them through adobe auction to create a clear storyline of what was going on. For my final draft, I plan to add additional sounds and effects to the beginning of the story, in between the pauses, and at the end to give it a more finished story plot. I collected the sounds from my friend shea who has different lifestyle habits then me so my idea was to interview her in hopes that it would give more insight to this topic since she expressed interest in possibly attempting some sort of change from what I told her about my topic and how she thinks it could benefit her personally. Some technical challenges that I came across when trying to edit was how to create one smooth audio story without a transition that made it seem obvious that something had been done to it. To fix that, I plan to add in a smoother transition and then overlay a sound to mask that.
