Germs recording

The second recording project that we did was we did a story on the places on campus that could spread the most germs. We interviewed people at the gym, in the library and in health services. The project was a lot of fun and we had some solid interviews, although there was one that gave us such short answers that it was easy to cut it out.

My team thought this project would be easier because we have used Audacity before, wow were we wrong. Editing the clips was the most tedious part because one of our sources kept saying "um," so it took us quite a while to take out that word. Some of the interviews was also too quiet, so we had to make the person louder, which I say we succeeded in that.

The interviewing was the best part because we got some really good answers from our sources. If our editing was as fun as our interviews, we would have gotten it done swiftly, however, we failed to do that. What I did learn is that when a reporter gets all of the information, it is so exciting to see how the story can turn out because when you listen to the recording, you can picture what is going on.
