Audio Story Final

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 Johhny who is not vegan and what his 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. After listening to the feedback from my peers, I decided to create a smoother introduction to set the rest up the audio story up for an interview. I removed white noise from the background because in my feedback, I was told it was taking away from the story. I also elaborated more in depth on the questions I was asking in order to get more of a complete interview and story. I collected the sounds from my friend Johnny who has different lifestyle habits then me so my idea was to interview him in hopes that it would give more insight to this topic since he expressed interest in possibly attempting some sort of change, even if its just adding more physical activity into his daily routine. 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. Another issue I came across was how to go about adding sounds into a narrative since there is not much room to add background noise or ambient sounds without taking away from the whole story.
