The podcast concept is to explore older and lesser-known independent movies and talk about them in a way that reviews not only their entertainment value, but also their story ideas and the different types of nostalgia that surface when we revisit them. The podcast also reflects on the current state of the film industry and how these older works intertwine with contemporary cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the sound design, I decided to start with a classic movie-style intro and build from there. I wanted an opening that could be used universally for every episode, followed by a more specific background soundscape tailored to the film being discussed. I uploaded the track to SoundCloud because my original file was too large. When I tried using a compression website, an audible humming sound was now on the compressed version, so I just stuck with the original. I used Audacity to layer the audio tracks and a condenser mic to record the vocal narration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Citations<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Audio:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Camera<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/s\/523772\/\">3, 2, 1, Action.wav<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/LilMati\/\">LilMati<\/a> is licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/zero\/1.0\/\">CC0 1.0<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/s\/840365\/\">Film Camera Film Reel MKH416 1<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/Geoff-Bremner-Audio\/\">Geoff-Bremner-Audio<\/a>  is licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/zero\/1.0\/\">CC0 1.0<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/s\/638291\">8mm Film Projector.wav<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/datasoundsample\/\">datasoundsample<\/a>  is licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\">CC BY 4.0<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Music Intro<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/s\/559604\/\">Actor life (Short v.)<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/szegvari\/\">szegvari<\/a>  is licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/zero\/1.0\/\">CC0 1.0<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swamp<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/s\/516926\/\">swamp at night with crickets and cicadas2.mp3<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/mariethompson\/\">mariethompson<\/a> is licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/zero\/1.0\/\">CC0 1.0<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bluesy Guitar<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/s\/566219\/\">Blue Sloop.wav<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/BaDoink\/\">BaDoink<\/a> is licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/zero\/1.0\/\">CC0 1.0<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Script<\/strong>: developed in collaboration with Perplexity, an AI writing assistant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vocals<\/strong>: Reel Relics Season 2 Episode 11 Intro by <a href=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/index.php\/author\/kjones\/\">Kenneth Jones<\/a> is licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\">CC BY 4.0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Visual:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Titlecard Image:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/garryknight\/4215611071\/in\/photolist-7qw7iv-vj4YGc-8DcjN8-ecvNqD-5tBWT3-2pga3Kv-dioMJq-anZXg7-dwmx1n-2aQxGMr-8gqbNc-eemVJp-2nSyZwD-gtbxUW-eaYX6L-2o5WGi5-BjRxP-8ducbA-RwJJDz-oHki3j-9zg9nA-8Enouz-5x3uuN-8HmYf9-9yeKUM-EB6NDR-oJumfb-72qrL9-2nZqXmz-yyK3aL-8ducLy-uVKw8t-8duaUh-2jQt46q-5pnb5X-25L72aY-8dqWuP-tYB9qi-5ELKCS-BbuaF-uRWG2j-uCZSwM-8ducq1-8duc11-8VZqvL-8dqW88-8dubBJ-8dqUMP-o4iAD3-bwESfn\">Clapperboard<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/garryknight\/\">Garry Knight<\/a> is licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/deed.en\">CC BY 2.0<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SoundCloud Image<\/strong>: Untitled. \u00a92012. by <a href=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/index.php\/author\/kjones\/\">Kenneth Jones<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copyrighted.com\/blog\/difference-between-copyright-and-all-rights-reserved\">All Rights Reserved<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this post, the idea came from my love of independent and obscure films.
