This project was definitely the biggest challenge because it was a bit out of my comfort zone. I think that the biggest challenge that my group faced in this project was coming up with the initial idea for the project. However, we settled with the idea of a long distance relationship which involved a series of calls between two people. 

While Susie was in charge of coding the website and designing the website, Vincent and I were in charge of audio recording and audio production. The most time-consuming part of the project was definitely coming up with a storyline and producing the script that we had to use for when recording. Once we put together a very comprehensive script and collectively agreed on the direction of the storyline, we started recording. I think that because the script was very detailed, and because it was so well put together it was really easy to record, and we did so without a lot of issues. Most of the recording was completed in the first or second attempt. 

Vincent and I were also in charge of post-production of the audio files. I found most of the other audio files required for the recordings with websites that we were provided in class, but if I couldn’t find background noises, I went on youtube to source those sounds. I think that putting together the audios was also a bit of a challenge that I overcame quite quickly. I think initially, it was just figuring out the best way to move sounds to the left or right output, but eventually, I figured out the method of putting together audio files that suited me the best.
