The final project this semester for the photojournalism class was an individual Soundslide presentation. The stories were supposed to follow with the beats we covered earlier in the year. However, I decided to change my program to get a wider view of the programs at Owens. Lucky for me the Radiology Program was more than happy to help me out. I met Melissa Trombly, a student who showed me around the radiology department. She let me interview and photograph her with a patient, who was actually another radiology student.
Trombly also pointed out to me how radiology can be similar to photography. Both use words like exposure for their images. Both also have had to deal with film that has become updated into the digital world.
The presentation process is a long one. There are two separate programs that are used, Audacity and Soundslides. Audacity is a sound program that allows to you to edit your interviews, cut, paste and add sound.
The other program, Soundslides, is a program that connects the photographs and the sound into a presentation. Soundslides allows you to arrange photos, lengthen or shorten them and add transitions and movements.
The whole process takes a while to finish, and you need to be patient and allow yourself time. It's not a simple job that can be done in two hours but when its finished you have something that you really can be proud of and show off.

This photojournalism class has been quite an experience, I have learned so much and had experiences I will never forget.
