HOST INTRO: As students prepared to get their equipment to work on their audio projects, their multi-media professor needed to teach them how to use the recording devices. Emily Johnson explained how to use them, as well as giving them a practice audio assignment to teach them how to write a practice script effectively and successfully.
AMBI: Nat sounds of students walking by the hallways. (TRACK BEGINS)
TRACK: I’m here with Melissa Chauca in Baruch College. We’re both sitting in a hallway on the 7th floor as we both prepared to ask each other questions for out audio project. Melissa is a full-time student at Baruch College and works on the side as well.
ARIANA: What are some of your hobbies?
MELISSA: I’d say some of my hobbies include doing film photography and I enjoy drawing and painting… I got into film photography my senior year of high school. It started off as a really fun way to take pictures of my friends.
MELISSA: Growing up my mom had packages and packages of these film photos. It’s been really cool to look back on them and figure out when they’re from.
ARIANA: What are some things that influenced your photography and your art?
MELISSA: My photography and my art is heavily influenced by the people around me. If anyone ever asks me, my biggest influence is my friends and my family. They all have a piece of me that I wish I could be better at. There’s something that I admire in every person around me.
MELISSA: I really like when I can get back to them and show them a picture and they’re like “Wow, I don’t even remember that. Do you have more?”
