Our group presented our rough cut to the other group and the tutor in the workshop. The rough cut lasts for about 7 minutes including the introduction, the vox-pop of the least favorite sound, soundscape of recording the annoying sound, and the doctor interview about misophonia. We didn’t finish the conclusion and seeking for the improvement. After listening our rough cut, the tutor told us a couple of problems of the audio and tell us what can be improved. Firstly, he told us we need to add some background music. Our audio didn’t have background music at all, which seems to be boring. What’s more, the transitions of each part did not sound fluently, so we need to add some effects such as fade in and out, or adjust the volume. Maybe adding additional music can solve this problem. And the volume of the part interviewing the doctor sounds strange because the volume of translation is too loud, and the original sound of the doctor was hard to hear, thus we need to adjust the volume again. The length is another problem. The length of the soundscape and the vox-pop last for too long, we need to cut a little bit of them. And we originally decide to add a scene of a dinner and set up an arguing situation above the soundscape, but the tutor said that would be too much, so we won’t add the scene in the audio. Finally, we didn’t think about our resolution: how can we conclude the audio? The tutor told us we need to connect to the introduction and give out the current condition of misophonia. And we also need to conclude with what people should do to solve it. I think we still need a lot of work to do, our group members should concentrate more on the unfinished part.
