Podcast Reflection

 My production skills developed throughout this project because I learned how to record audio with a paired-up mic. Meadow and I made sure we were not too far away from the mic to make sure you could still hear us, but not too close that we were way too loud. Also, we made sure when filming we were not in a location with a lot of noise (although the school is super noisy). I also learned how fun it was to produce a podcast, and the fun that came with it.

 I started from level zero because Meadow and I could not put our voice memo into audition and then eventually with the help of Mr. Z and a bunch of technical difficulties, we got it in. Then we could have started editing. We put all our sound effects from YouTube into an MP3 converter then into audition to enhance our podcast and make it enjoyable.

 

Meadow and I started planning the theme by thinking of something we both would enjoy talking about. We both decided that fashion trends were in style and something that would be entertaining. Talking about trends that were going on today would be relatable to people and something that would keep them listening. Production took us two days. The first day we filmed half to get a feel for the mics. Then on the second day we went to a location near the cafeteria, but it was so noisy. So, we moved next to the outdoor stairs near the café and were able to film the whole thing with some noise but as little as we possibly could. Editing was a pain, but we eventually got all the sounds we needed in, and the podcast came together. Editing took us two days as well.

Meadow and I both worked on generating the idea of “If you won't say it, we will” It was pretty easy to come up with and we agreed on the topic of fashion trends pretty fast. Both Meadow and I worked on the script typing our ideas and what we were going to say. We filmed the podcast together as well. Meadow did all the physical editing, but I was with her the whole time giving her feedback. This helped us both decide if something was too loud or too quiet.

 

We faced problems with uploading the podcast sound into audition, but eventually we got Mr. Z to help us when we emailed him the sound and he put it in for us. This helped us get started on the podcast. That is the reason why we were a little late finishing. We added a dun dun dun sound effect after we said “overrated” to create a sense of suspense for the viewer. Our introduction and outro music were put in to introduce and create a fun atmosphere for the podcast. We added a Nike soundtrack to the back of us introducing the topic of Nike tech to have incidental music that wouldn’t be expected from the viewers. We added a bubble sound effect to add a transition from our podcast to our ad.

Day Two of Filming week 5

      Our second production day was on Monday February 26, 2024. Peyton, Meadow, Ella, Sydney, Ella's dad (Clayton), and I arrived back at Big Cat Habitat to finish our filming. We all arrived at 4:30. The equipment we ended up using again was just the steady camera holder. We decided to arrive around the same time to make sure the lighting would look close to the same as the first production day. The first scene we started with was with Ella's dad jumping out and confronting us. Since that shot was filmed as a Point of View shot in my character's point of view, I stood behind a fence that was off-screen and signaled to Ella's dad when he should pop out. I would look at where the girls were stepping and when they were close to a line on the pavement in front of the gift shop I would signal a thumbs-up to Ella's dad to jump out. Then we filmed the chasing scene at different angles for the next 30 minutes. After we went to shoot the scenes of us locking ourselves into...

Week 2

      Now I am onto week two of our final project! This week I have started our story boards, and I am beginning to write our script. In order to start our storyboard my group and I all decided the script needed to be finished first. Before I could start to write the script, my group and I had to figure out the characters and how they were going to act. In the end my group and I decided on making me the nervous character, Sydney was going to be the aggressive character telling me to suck it up, and the other two weren't going to be scared or confident, more on the neutral side. We also decided we were going to film on 2/19/24 and 2/22/24. This way we have two days to make sure we can get the shots we want. Our costumes are still the same as of right now. The plan is still black ski mask, black pants, black long sleeves, black long pants, and black/neutral-colored shoes. Meadow and I are both planning on the characters showing the least amount of skin possible. This way it...
