Failure project

     The biggest failure in this semester is probably my micro project 4. I did not take an earphone with me in class so I could not get what exactly the track sounds like during the process of making it. Later I find that the effect in the trace is so loud that sounds really noisy. I failed to create a feeling of slender by giving the track to my friends. Now I realize that I should make sure what a sound track sounds like when making it. Sound tracks are different from the visual works. One cannot interpret how a sound track is by treating them as visual works. We cannot “see” how a sound track is.

     My biggest success in this semester is the micro project 5. At the very beginning of making the micro project 5, I was thinking of take a series of pictures of steam after watching the video about river in class. This is because the steam fit the word “split” well. However, I could not find any small steams near the campus area, so I change my object from steam to branch in the end. The use of Andreamosaic is a success to me. It is my first time to use this software and the effect is really pleasant. The mosaic effect in the final piece does give my friends a feeling of “split” and I am satisfied with this work as well.

     If I could redo one project, I would redo the micro project 4. I choose the micro project 4 because I know which point is not good enough in my previous work. I would use an earphone for sure and search for some more sound effect in the Internet if I could do this project again. I would also show my sound track to my friends before uploading to make sure the audience do receive a feeling of slender through the project.
