Shannon Laine
Annenberg School of Communication
Class of 2011
My name is Shannon Laine and I am a junior Communication major at the University of Southern California. I am a current member of the USC Song Girl team as well as an active member in the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and a number of honor societies. I grew up in Northern California, but am a third generation Trojan and love my new home in Los Angeles. Fight on!
Movies I have made:
Interview with Penny Antolick – This short one-minute movie chronicles the effects of the economic downturn on a middle-aged paralegal
Public Service Announcement
Flythrough
of Portland Street – Constructed using the application Maya, this
movie is a detailed flythrough of Portland Street in Los Angeles
Audacity
Clip – This clip, describing AppleÕs first computer, is a
demonstration of audio techniques used in the program Audacity. I recorded my
voice and then proceeded to eliminate the pauses, breaths and words such as
ÒummÓ or Òuhhh,Ó to make the sound more precise. Next I layered a song into the
file and worked with audacity techniques such as fade in and fade out so that
it was cohesive with the spoken word. Lastly I played with amplification and pitch
so that the words were understandable and the music was not too overpowering.
Google
Earth – This is a detailed map of the stadiums, arenas as well as
locations of events, fundraisers, etc. in which I have performed at as a USC
Song Girl.
