Audio Walk- Ideas and Research

For our audio walk, we want to showcase York University for future students looking to apply or discover York. To do this we want to showcase a day at York in a present Student's eyes. The walk will contain true facts, but also have a fictional based storyline.  We want to make sure to incorporate humour and knowledge in this walk to appeal to the audience of future students.

We will start at the TTC bus stops, where the student will be listening to music on the bus before getting off the bus and starting the day. Then the student will continue on, while the audience listens and follows his movements and guidance through the campus. The walk will capture some of the sights at york through a lecture, lunch time at the student center, and finding research material at the Scott Library. The student's thoughts and voice will narrate the walk, while sounds of the surroundings, and music from the student's Mp3 player serenade at times.

Our goal is to attract future students to York by giving a day-in-the-life experience, while providing tips to surviving school at York Campus, and adding useful factual information that the future student may need to know or want to know.

We will incorporate:
Music
Noises/Sounds
Narration
Interview (or rather conversation with a librarian)

To research for our walk, we will be asking present students what they think about parts of campus, while also searching the York Website for handy information for students:

ex.: http://www.yorku.ca/web/about_yorku/

I'll keep you updated as we work further on this assignment.
