I chose the track Zumm Zumm I liked the upbeat feel to the music. I used the zoom in zoom out controls a lot to eliminate gaps and pauses. Under effects I used normalize, which made my voice sound much smoother. It went from choppy/unclear to clear. To improve the quality of the sound I could have experimented with more effects. I think that my loop sounds complete because of the ending of my voice over I use one word which lines up with the ending of the beat in my loop.

I think meeting the needs/wants of your listening target is important. Knowing what your listeners want to hear is crucial and that could help build and change ideas of music. I chose this song because, I like it and another reason could be because there were two artist. With there being two artist I feel like I could do more with the song. For example slow down the tempo on fast sections (When Wale was rapping) and speed up the singing sections (Ushers verse/chorus).I think I pretty much recreated the entire song. The sound of the song was different overall and it did not sound as much like an R&B song, but more of a Pop song as well. I changed the tempo of parts of the song as said before. I also took some vocals only sections of the song and added them in where there were pauses in the other artists part (1:32-1:38). I also added in Usher singing/humming to the intro of the song. The beats that I used also recreated the overall song as well for the reason stated above. What I would listen for in a remix is intentional change. Maybe a faster or slower beat. Or beats that maybe take the song into another genre. Also moving the song around (rearrangement).

The song I chose to cover is called Flashlight, by Jessie J. When arranging the song I listened and labeled which sections were which. For example, during the chorus the section was named chorus, etc. Once each section of the song was labeled I then went through and tried to listen for which sections I could recreate with the premade loops on Garageband. While recreating this song I noticed that there was a lot of piano work, it almost sounds like a live band is playing while she records. There were a number of musical layers throughout the song, some more than others.

I chose to switch beats or the sound of music every time I switched subjects that way maybe listeners could get the hint that I was moving on to the next aspect of my podcast. I attempted to speak about something I actually thought was interesting and something I was passionate about. By doing this I would hope that I would sound less like an automated system or like I didn’t actually care about what I was talking about. Hopefully the subject I talked about will make listeners stop and think and actually see this issue through a different perspective. I used premade loops from Garage Band, I am not as experienced with making music from scratch so I find using these best. 


PODCAST

I tried to write catchy lyrics that were simple and easy to remember. I also thought I something that also started with my name so that there is a personal association between the actual product and I. I also applied positive attributes to the lyrics. Stating that the Jam is “sweet” and that “you can eat it by itself” is implying that the Jam tastes good. Doing this makes an audience want to try it or go buy it. I really didn’t think of any jingles that inspired me, but I tried to pick a cheerful beat tat had a nice, memorable sound to it. I also think that this jingle is very easy to catch on to and sig along to as well. I was brainstorming by first thinking about what I like to do, one of them being eat. Then I thought of things that I thought were good and sandwich was the first thing that came to mind. From there I thought it would be most effective to think of something that started with a J like my name and I thought of J. From there I made up a starting line and rhymed the song/jingle with that line. The product I came up with was Jha’s Jam. The product was mainly for a younger audience being that younger children tend to like sweet things. Like I said before making the lyrics eared towards appealing attributes is how I chose to sell to my audience. Therefore, making the lyrics one of the key elements of the sales pitch.

I used music that was upbeat but not too upbeat. I want the listeners to really hear what I am saying and playing too loud or upbeat music may take away from the purpose of the podcast.
Some techniques I used to make my video more impactful are choosing topics that are popular especially in regards to my age group. I chose something the audience can follow along with and relate to. I find myself on social media looking at my friends talk about what they are watching, what they don’t like and what they do. I believe my podcast is something that people maybe be interested in hearing more. It could possibly turn into an actual podcast with guest.
I wanted to play music all throughout podcast just to have a background. I did make sure that my music started and stopped at appropriate places. In other words I start my music as soon I begin speaking and I Stopped the music a little after I finish talking so it does not sound like everything just ended together. I also make sure I end off on a beat so that its not ending at an awkward time in the music. I played one loop while I spoke about my opinion and I played a more upbeat tune when I introduced other peoples opinions.
Again, I believe that a creative thing I did for this project is pick an interactive topic. I also think it was creative to include some opinions of others instead of just including my own input. In the future if if I could do it again. I would try to make it to where I had “guest” actually telling their opinions during podcast.. Maybe through phone or in person.

They use references that hint towards what the product could be used for. So if it is a Coca-Cola commercial the setting and diction may be geared towards someone being in a gym stating that they were thirsty. And ironically there may be a cold coke sitting on the table that the subject spots. They also made the jingle very catchy and relatable.
I did not do a physical commercial but II did create a jingle that refers to pros that lip-gloss has. I use words like glossy, bossy and flossy. Whiles not only rhyming these are some characteristics girls desire and look for in a good lip-gloss. Being bossy, is a feeling that make you feel powerful but not too powerful (you don’t want too much lip-gloss on or you don’t want it to be “loud). You want to be complimented because other people will notice how nice or “flossy” the lip-gloss is.
It was very fun coming up with a Jingle. First I thought about something I’ve never seen before. I have seen lip balm commercials but none of them had any catchy tunes to go along with them. I also thought about what I like to have or what I always keep. And I came up with lip-gloss. This idea was not difficult to come up with it just took a little brainstorming.
Again some key element to sale were the characteristics describing the lip-gloss. This jingle was targeted for girls who cannot live with out their lip-gloss.
