UPDATE
Analysis:
The topic of this audio interview was about the interviewee's experience of being from NYC and how it leads to his passion of learning, especially languages.
The style that I utilized and hoped to show was just to have listeners feel like they are having a conversation with the interviewee.
The organization of this story does sound smoothly as it begins with New York City to learning languages and his goals.
The sound recording and the sound elements were tough. I had a whole different interview that I had worked on but after syncing issues between versions of Premiere, I had to resort to this recording. There many sounds where I believe I was adjusting the sound levels and my movements were recorded, which interrupts the flow of the interviewee. The music that I used was meant to have listeners feel the culture translate to the story. The sound effect of the beginning was my favorite as its very New York City with all the traffic sounds, it sounds like you are stuck in traffic and strike up a chat. The war sound elements worked with the interviewee's talk of World War II and his learning of this period flowed well.
I do not like the transitions that I made as I forced in some parts while the interviewee was talking and cut right into the music. It was not choppy per se but the second transition of the Chinese folk music ended abruptly. Though I have to say that I did like the 'tapering off' sound effect as it was the only way to weave in other parts of the story.
The immediate changes I would make is have better questions as it would have sounded more lively and engaging, or even used another subject/topic altogether. Another thing is I would improve the sound quality as some parts sounds of me shuffling about. The last thing I would be to record in another setting, such the music rooms, as it would have allowed better sound quality.
