Three Takeaways

When going into this course, I didn’t have much knowledge of the DCIM minor, which was the only reason I was taking the course, so I wasn’t really sure what I was going to be learning about. In the beginning, it was mostly just discussion questions about stuff I had no knowledge about, but after coming out of the course I learned a great deal about the difference of platforms I could use to get information across.

The first thing I took away from this course was to always keep in mind of an audience when promoting anything for a cause of project. I think that for all of the posts and projects that were required, I always had to make sure that I was keeping the targeted audience in mind in terms of language, content, and doing things that would make them want to come back to my page, whether YouTube, SoundCloud, or WordPress. Especially when working on the PSA and podcast, I really found that I loved creating content through audio, because it’s something that’s in my element. By keeping topics interesting and providing links and calls to action to the audience were my biggest take away on this aspect of creating any kind of content.

Another thing I took away from this course is about music loudness and fidelity, and how it comes into play when producing different genres of music. Music production is something that’s extremely interesting to me, and I think that it was really interesting to understand the concepts that go into creating this kind of content. In my opinion, I think that fidelity is a lot more important over loudness, but I do think that loudness is necessary for some genres of music. When I produce my own music, I tend to think more about the overall fidelity of the song.
