MP 4

Since I go to play basketball three to four times a week, I chose to document my entire trip to the RPAC, beginning in my room at my house, all the way up to walking into the gym. The typical sounds I hear include my car doors opening and closing, the engine starting, the turn style into the RPAC, and, most noticeably, the squeaking of basketball shoes on the hardwood.

I decided to transform my trip to the RPAC into a road trip for Ohio State’s men’s basketball team, again from the locker room all the way to the opposing team’s court. My piece gives a feeling of toughness, and willingness to face the adversity of an opposing team’s home court advantage. I mostly made overt decisions on my piece, although my sound clips were altered by simply picking random alterations and sticking with one I liked. I am satisfied about using garage band, and learning how to separate sound from video on a Mac. I didn’t particularly enjoy editing sound clips since it was so difficult to decide what alterations were good for my project.
