Schofield Podcast

Schofield Podcast Story

Tyler Schofield…friend….tennis player…rapper.

 When Schofield was a young lad, he was inspired by Ying Yang twins and lyrical genius was embedded in his mind.

  Originally born Middleboro Mass, his favorite food was his Mac n Cheese and lyrical genius was embedded in his head. When he entered Lyndon State College, he had few things on his mind.

 He wanted to play tennis.

 He wanted to get a Television studies degree on the The Production house side of the business. And he wanted to drop hell fire and brimstone on paper with more lyrical genius.

  Entering his Junior year of college, he never though that he would be taken seriously in the rap game. Aj Raskin, a friend of many, a true if you will, and a Music Business Industry major, approached him with one goal in mind, spit mad fire on stage.

 Schofield was pessimistic about the idea but Schofy was ready to role with the idea.

 Critics were harsh, they were determined to bring him down, ripping on his beats, his lyrics, his skin color. After weeks of determination, preparation, observation and communication Schof was ready to put his money where his mic was.

 Schof created nine tracks with fresh beats. His manager, Aj Raskin, was extremely high on Schofield and for the feature of “Battle of the Bands :Music Mondays” Schof was to open for nationally known, folk band, Suncooked.

He was extremely scared the night of the show but with the help of his friends he took to the stage, and with DJ Trice the show went on.

 “It was cray KEEEEEEEDDDD” said Schofield. When asked if he will ever find the mic on the stage again? He replied “Ah, shit, nah kid, never again.”

Synopsis


For our podcast we will be featuring Tyler Schofield and his debut rap performance Monday night (tonight) for “Battle of the Bands.” Edward or Joe will go to the event and take some natural sound from the concert and take pictures of what happened and how he felt afterwards and so on and so forth. The intended audience is any rap fans and/or LSC bands and performers that are interested in what happens on campus. This is an interesting story because it should be fun and entertaining but it should also show what the performers do and how they feel before they go out and put their talents out there. Whoever goes tonight will most likely do an interview with Tyler about what steps he took beforehand to get ready for his performance and how much time and effort it takes to be prepared for a show. Whoever goes tonight might ask to talk to someone who watched the show and find out how they felt about it and how they thought Tyler did. Hopefully this podcast ends up showing us what happened and is a fun and entertaining.   

RESPONSIBILITIES:
ED- Taking pictures/audio
JOE-(if he goes) Help with pictures/audio
JESS-Help edit sound slides
JENN-Help edit sound slides

Atlanta Review!

Hello!

I have "liked" the CBS Atlanta facebook TV show page for a while and I have looked into their website and here's what I think about them.

I feel like they put new stories on their website every day and I have been getting a new post in my news feed about everyday on facebook from them as well.

I liked that on their website you can see which ones have a video attached so if I am more in the mood to watch something than to read it I can just click on the ones with video.

I think that the writing on both Internet sites are very clear and easy to understand.

I do think that the video is a bit more effective than just writing with a picture headline because we can see where it is and what is looks like and it takes the viewer on a kind of journey with the reporter. I feel like video is one of the most effective tools when it comes to telling a story.

I really like the website. There is so much content to view.

I feel like if I lived in Atlanta that this would be a good news resource to have!

STORY FOR SOUND SLIDE!

 HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE HUNGOVER SOUND SLIDE!

Abe Hinman is an Lyndon State College junior and he occasionally likes to go to the bar and get a little wasted, which he can do legally because he is now 21, but in the morning when he has no money to go to the diner... what is he supposed to do?

The only logical solution is to make breakfast himself!

It is so much cheaper and yes, it does take a little bit of time out of  your schedule but in the end you will have a great meal that you made yourself!

(NOTE: You need to have these items in your fridge before you get totally slammed at the bar and you need to have a stove! -duh-)

For this hungover extravaganza we needed the following items:

Bacon
Eggs
Pancake mix
Water (For the pancakes)
Pans (To cook with)
Measuring cups
Cheese (Optional)

 Now that we had all of our items together it was time to wake Abram up, which he was not to complacent about. He finally woke up and remembered that we had a project to do.

He put on his pants and got out of his room to make himself a nice breakfast burrito which is a pancake with bacon and eggs on top and kind of just rolled all together.

We have found in our experience with hangovers and drinking that grease is really the best and most effective way to feel better. Bacon is greasy and most definitely delicious.

Eggs also provide the hungover human with much needed protein. And the pancake is the carb factor that will soak up all that extra alcohol in your system.

We would like to tell you before hand that Abram cannot really cook, he tries on occasion and usually fails.

Anyway, he makes it through the cooking part of the project pretty well. He did run off at one point to take a shot of vodka just help the hangover.

The end product that he ended up with was actually pretty good. Even though it looked more like a pancake taco-thing instead of a burrito it was still really delicious.

For the project itself we really wanted the sound to flow. This was difficult to do because there weren't very many places to edit the sound without it sounding semi choppy.

The fabulous Jessica Walsh took many photos during this project and we tried to find the ones that really captured the moments the best.

All in all we really like our project and we think it came together pretty well.

Also, we hope that next time you will enjoy the hangover! Now go make yourself a burrito.

Here's a look at how things in our group were divided up:

Slide Show Synopsis!

Hey everyone!

Our slide show is going to be a little cooking lesson. We are going to teach LSC junior Abe Hinman how to cook himself a great hungover breakfast...which includes eggs, and pancakes. To start our story line we are going to wake him up in his dorm room after a night at the club and make him cook. We will of course have the recorder going the whole time and pictures to show what happened. The pictures through out the process will show what everything looked like. The photos will end up having a nice flow to them. We don't really want the slide show to look choppy and boring. Our goal is to keep the slide show moving and flowing to make it a more entertaining and attention grabbing. Also we plan to edit it down a whole lot to fit into the 2-3 minute time constraint.The intended audience is any hungover college student who wakes up hungover who doesn't have enough change in their pocket to get breakfast at the diner.Students should find this funny and very informative. It also will save them money and they can do it in their pj's! This is an interesting story for that audience because they should be entertained by the reaction we get. Our teams duties will be given out as follows:

Photos-Jess Walsh
Photo Editing-Jess Walsh
Audio-Jenn Morin
Sound slides editing-Jenn Morin
Text-Ed Horan and Joe Peters
