Bella TraiciĆ³n (Beautiful Treason)


Ophelia is an University student just like us, with stress, problems and friends that might not be who they are until you take their masks off. Here we got a record of her last moments where she unmasks her beautiful treason! She will guide to a few places in the university campus, once she has told you where to go stop playing the tape. When you get to the location, play the track again and you`ll know what happened there... YOUR POINT OF START IS THE FOUNTAIN IN FRONT OF THE VARI HALL!!
Here is the link to our audio project in mediafire:  Bella Traicion

Here`s the map!!

Rough Sound Project!

Here's our rough copy of our assignment, just click on the link and download the mp3 file! 
Audio Project Rough!

Group tasks and ideas....

I'm in a group with Jeff and Pablo. Jeff and myself are the ones in charge of writing the dialogs and script of our audio project, while Pablo is our recorder and recruiter of interviewees.

Our idea of our audio project is inspired by Jay Asher's book 13 reasons why, at the same time he was inspired by audio tours. The book is about a teenage girl who commits suicide but before she actually kills herself she records different tapes explaining 13 reasons why she killed herself.

For the moment we've spotted a few places around York and we're now trying to incorporate the history of those places into our script to make it more realistic. Any new information or changes will be provided later one throughout the process of our recording.

Dupont Subway Murmur!

This week's post is about an audio tour that we had to assist to for our class. Murmur is an oral project that takes place downtown which documents several number of stories and memories on specifics streets of Toronto. I went downtown and listened to one of these murmur documentaries that is on Spadina Ave, close to Dupont's subway stations. Brad Golden, who is the narrator of the memory, talks about how him and his friend Norman Richards won a competition that took place in 1991, right where the railways are now. He talks about the underpass on that part of Spadina Ave cast different kind of shadows that describe different stories of the city of Toronto. I believe it is interesting the way the murmur audio documentaries work because you can listen to the story they are telling you, and using your imagination you can actually create the whole scenario of that story.
