Women Deserve Equality

The theme for this song centered around the future and the caution surrounding it. I decided this would be a great way to highlight women’s rights. Women are the back bone for this world, we are the only set of humans that can create and give life and yet we don’t even have the ability to make choices for ourselves when it comes to our bodies, respect, and how we’re treated in positions of power. I chose to start off with an older depiction of what women looked like in the earliest years and then getting more and more into modern day. As the song began to talk more about the future I ended the depiction of women with a picture of a little girl staring at the Lincoln monument because she will be the next generation of women. This assignment for me was meant to show how women are always fighting for the same freedoms and liberties that men posses and that equality should not be optional.

I felt that the theme for this song was really about how people expected big changes far off in the future, but really, the future is now. I chose to start off with gas powered cars, and then transition into symbols representing gas, oil drilling, and pollution caused by these cars. As the song transitions into looking ahead to the future, I chose to display images of electric vehicles, renewable energy, and clean air and skylines. This was meant to show that we have the technology now to start making improvements when it comes to the harm done by fossil fuels.

Have and Have Nots of 2025

For this project I used the free version of Sony Vegas. I rendered/exported the project as an mp4 using the Internet/Youtube preset of 1920*1080-30p and did not use the stretch video to fill output frame size. While that option would have gotten rid of letter boxing it would have stretched and deformed some of the original images. Aesthetically I prefer letterboxing to ugly and pixelated images.

Living in Trinidad is a podcast about everything T&T, which is short for Trinidad and Tobago. The focus will be based more on the main island of Trinidad but will feature occasional episodes on Trinidad’s sister isle, Tobago. Topics covered include the “goings-on” happening on the island which will vary from entertainment to politics and news.

I decided to open the podcast with steel band music which is iconic to the island and because we are in the Caribbean, I decided to have the crashing waves as an effect behind my voice. I faded the music to transition to my voice and raised the volume of the beach waves behind which did not compete with my voice. I could have improved on the transition time but struggled with Audacity a bit.
