Today for Extension we started off with working on Garageband for an intro for PENN. I started a new project because I didn’t really liked my others one. This intro is for weather or main. I knew that this one was way much more better then my previous attempts. I worked extra hard on this one by used more instruments and actually listening to what was wrong. I asked for my friend’s feedback and she said it was GOOD!! This intro I made for PENN seems like it could actually be heard in news channel. I tried making it long enough because at frrst it was too short then I added more to it and it sounded even more better.
What we had to do was go onto GarageBand and create a sound track for the PENN news. We had to make the soundtrack sound like the part it belongs to for eg if it was for sports it would sound sort of dramatic but for weather it would sound more smooth and relaxing. I made mine for weather but it could also be used for main. In order to end up with a peice of music we have to start off with a drummer. Starting with the drummer s the simpelest part. You can turn the drums into soft, loud, and complex. When you have found the perfect beat to start it off next you can use the apple loops on the side of the screen. There are many different options, you can choose the instruments and genre you want to fit in with you beat. Since mine was for weather and main I made my drums soft but complex and I used instruments that sound calming and smooth. The genre I chose was chillwave because it matched perfectly with the theme.
If I had to describe my music to someone who couldn’t listen to it I would probably say all the instruments I’ve used are like a chill wave. It’s a very smooth and calming beat. I used instruments like the drums, a back beat, electric piano, Guitar, Bass, and a Synth. Some parts of my melody is loud but some are soft and quiet. I didn’t expect it to come out like that but I found it more cool and relaxing. How it turned out like that is because some of the instruments I used were more louder then the other ones. I liked how it had different levels of volume, it made it more interesting to listen to and fun. I ended up changing the volumes to sound more simalar though because I wanted it to sound soft and quiet.
I first thought it would be good for weather but Mrs Burton later considered I could also use it for Main as well. I agreed with her because after listening to it again I thought that it could sound good for both intros. I worked extremely hard on this and made sure it was perfect. Although it may not be perfect I know that it still is very good for my second third attempt at this. What I fund challenging was how I had to choose instruments that had a similar rhythm to match together. My favourite thing was how I got to make it for PENN. I had loads of fun working on this for the morning. Remember to leave a positive comment on my blog. Ty and Bye!
