I had a meeting with Eve this week and which was very productive. I was told that the video was good overall, but I needed to make a few changes. Some of the clips were shaky and required to be stabilized. I tried to edit them and apply a stabilizer to them but there wasn’t a good point that the effect could use as a reference so I just got rid of the clip. Another note I got was to remove some of the clips of the students recording sounds around Davis Hall. I had to change them not because they were bad, but because Eve wanted a larger focus on the students recording at the parks and the students learning how to edit the recordings. Eve and I worked on the video at Trilogy Coffee where we decided on what photos to add. She also told me that my student interviews were a little muddy and needed to be altered a bit. What I did before was throw the files into Audacity and use their noise removal because the AC was being picked up on the mic. This time I put the files into Reaper and EQed the files to remove the sound, while the AC is still a little audible it is not that bad and the student’s voices are not too affected. Today, I will recut the interviews and add them to this new version while adding some space to include some of the interviews Eve took.

Glad you are learning to manage things like background noise. Hopefully this will help you be more aware of these during recording. Also, for future reference, there is a way to do this in Reaper.
