Final Project: Past Difficulties and Fine Tuning

While the whole project had been assembled, there were still many things that could be improved. Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of time to work on it. This is because I needed to have the project finished before I could start work on the CCR. So, I went to my teammates house to watch the final project and give my opinion of what could be adjusted. The only things I felt could be perfected in time was the volume of the white noise and ambient noise through out the two minutes. The ambient noise needed to be quieter and the white noise needed to be a tad louder to be heard over the music. After these parts were fixed, I took a copy of final project back home on a flash drive. I intended to use my final project in my CCR, so I needed a high quality file of the project to work with. To my surprise, when I opened the file in my flash drive it only had the audio. The video was completely black, which means I will have to get the file again and maybe compress it a little. 


The music, throughout the process of this project, was one of the things I had a hard time getting a hold of. First of all, the process of choosing a song was long and difficult process. The steps, however, are very simple. I had to pick a song with my group and email the song writer asking for permission to use their song in our project. Then, I would wait for a response. Unfortunately, the process was very lengthy, and most of the time I didn't have enough time to wait for a response. I repeated this process twice with two songs, only to never get responses from the artists. The third attempt was lead by one of my teammates, who's father personally knew the song writer. Because of this connection, we were able to secure permission to use the song "09 'what' is real" by Troy Westfield Experience. Bellow is a picture of my teammate correspondence with the song writer.
