Project 3 Interview- Multimedia Writing and Composition Sp2015

For my project, I decided to let the audio speak for themselves. I spoke with Masumi Palhof about the pros and cons of multimodal composition and how the downsides of it can be seen in educational purposes. Danielle gave me examples on how multimodal composition is used in pop culture, highlighting events like Kim Kardashian's hair color, to explaining how modern students prefer multimodal compositions as a way of learning in college over traditional text.

However, both interviewees noted the flexibility of writers and how they can manipulate text easier than multimodal compositions. As writers, we are able to use our talents to our advantage as long as we understand our audience. This is also key in multimodal composition.

Overall, I found this project to be quite daunting, but it also served as a huge learning purpose. I originally recorded and edited audio with a Mac program, GarageBand, but in the final stages of editing, I used Audacity because of its easier mobility.
