For this assignment I wanted to stick with my tennis theme and do a bit of an advertisement of one of the tennis facilities here on campus. The Hollingberry field house is a very iconic building here on campus and I wanted to give it it’s own video like we did for Murrow. I went to the field house earlier this week and recorded all of the video and took all of the photos you see in the video. The videos of me are recorded by my girlfriend and are used to represent people who come in a play the sport for fun and community building. I also met some nice gentleman who were playing and asked if I could record a few points and they gave me the okay to record. Tennis is a very community driven game because you need multiple people in order to play and this draw more people in to play the amazing game of tennis. That is why i wanted to incorporate the men playing. All of the information that I gathered about the Hollingberry field house is on WSU’s facilities website.

Final Audio Story
For this Final assignment I wanted to stick with my original interview idea but add somethings to make this post truly blog worthy. Something that i did last time was only use my audio and I wanted to explore a bit more what other audio would sound like. I of course recorded all of the voice audio myself using my phone recorder but I decided to add some music to this final piece. I searched the internet for free music and came across this track that you hear and it fit very well to the final project. I made sure it wasn’t the center piece that people would hear but would also be loud enough so you would know its presence was there through the audio. It adds a certain amount of intensity and I feel like this this can relate well to the sport of tennis. Both the audio and the sport are fast pace and energetic and those are needed to be a good tennis player. I stuck with the same audio recording of Brandon from before but needed to change my audio because it felt to formal. It needed to be more story like so I scrapped the first recording and made a new one. This reads and sounds more story like as if i am describing the game itself with a fellow tennis player rather than just direct questions towards another person. This helps it feel more relaxed and relatable I feel for those wanting to learn what tennis is like. This final piece fell together well with the new background song and the new audio recordings that I implemented. Music is a big part of many peoples lives and it added so well to other projects that i felt it was appropriate to follow suit.
