Scooter Culture on Campus  

 I finally completed my first Soundslides project: Scooter Culture on Campus.  I this project I attempted to capture what life is like for students who use scooters as a main mode of transportation on and around campus.  I tried to show a well-rouned picture of the pros and cons of using scooters.  Although I had a lot of problems editing my audio in Audacity, I did my best.  I also ran into problems with my photos for this project because most of them were over exposed.  I had to go out and get more shots since the first ones were all taken in the morning or middle of the day around my class and work schedule.  I learned that it is also wise to allow yourself time just in case you run into problems at the end of the production stage.  Overall I know that timing, whether it’s the time of day you decide to shoot photos or the time you allow yourself to tie up loose ends of a work, can make or break a project.
