The music editing process with using Audacity was super easy. Bring the mp3 into the Audacity app wasn’t hard and cutting down the time was really easy also. I got the music to play throughout the presentation because once I got the wav file of the cut down version of the song I chose for the presentation, I just clicked “play across all slides” to ensure that. I got the presentation to run on its own by rehearsing the times of the presentation and making sure everything matched up accordinly.
For the second slide, the process of making the bullets come in one by one was easy. All you have to do was create an entrance animation for each different bullet and make sure they come one after the other. This is very important to have the bullets come in one by one because when the viewer sees all of the bullets up there at once, its becomes over whelming and the viewer is getting and overload of information at one time. Presenting the bullets one by one is the most effective way because it gives the viewer a chance to digest the information easier and fully take in all of the information without feeling overwhelmed.
I animated the third slide by first having the title of the album which was “Astroworld” enter into the slide. Next what I did was put the cover of the album on the left half of the slide to come in. Lastly, for the third slide, I had the track list songs by having the first half of songs pop up and then after that the second half of songs came in. The track list was placed to the right of the picture of the album.
For the fourth slide, setting up the table was not hard. What I did was went to the Insert tab in powerpoint and selected table and created a 4×4 table with the label’s Artists like Travis Scott, Hometown, Debut Album, and the number of Twitter Artists they had. The other two artists I compared Travis Scott too were Future and Young Thug. I used seperate text boxes throughout the table I created because then I was able to make each text box pop up on their own whenever I chose for them to pop up. If I didn’t use separate text boxes then everything written in the table would’ve popped up all at the same time. I created those separate text boxes by going to the Insert tab and choosing text box and placed them accordingly throughout the table.
On the last slide of the presentation, I chose pictures that I felt represented Travis Scott as person as well as a musician which is way I put pictures of himself performing, pictures of him with his family, and pictures from some of his promotions he’s done in the past. The used the same animation for each picture throughout the final slide of the presentation to give the slide some organization and sequence between pictures. I changed the link name and color by changing the link to a hyperlink and then changing the option for a new hyperlink color.
