JRN 423 Second Soundslide (Learning To Fly)




For Journalism 423, this is the second soundslide I put together, focusing on high school sports.


“Learning To Fly”

Ludington High School gymnast, Ariel Tucker, 14, has been training at Flipstar since she was six years old. Her interest began after watching her older cousins perform their routines at the gym. She thought it looked like fun and wanted to try lessons out for herself. Although she admits practices are exhausting, lasting around 12 hours each week, Tucker says that she also finds time for school, family and friends, and cheerleading and track. Tucker is currently training to become a level 9 competitor, and hopes her team will again be able to go to state. As for her goals, Tucker hopes to perform well at the next meet, and wants to take her future career choice as a gymnast as far her ability and motivation will let her go.

  2. i loved that the natural sound went along with your action sections. but the transitions through different audio could probably be a little smoother.

  3. The animations were excellent. Some of the pictures looked too dark though. You could have stayed longer on certain photos, seems a little rushed.

  4. Becky I loved all your action sequences, they are much smoother than your snowboarding action shoots. Good job!!

  5. Good audio and natural sounds. I think you could make the action sequences even stronger if you use the straight cuts rather than the fades it will move smoother. Good Job!

  6. The audio is the main thing, it could be smoother but overall it was good. A fade at the end would be better then just a straight and abrupt end.
