Podcast production resources

The main resource that I used to record the sound was a microphone, connected to a  sound box, connected to a desktop using the garage band app. This was so I can then edit the sound later on. 

Microphone

The microphone that was available was a handheld microphone but I did not hold it so the noise would not get distorted off any breathing causing movements. 

Soundbox

The sound box was used to convert the microphone signals into a format the computer/software  recognises. 

Desktop/Garage band/ Logic Pro

The garage band's job in all of this was to record the audio that was coming from the microphone and so it would be saved, so I can edit it later. Even though I was not going to edit using this software, I still wanted it on there so I can then go and save it in my documents to then use on any computer and then begin the editing. I edited this podcast on Logic Pro, this is because it has more accessible options to edit sound. It is better to edit on a DAW (digital audio workplace), especially Logic Pro, rater than an online environment like teams. This is due to multiple reasons but one of them being, if the internet crashes, Logic Pro is still avoidable to work. Another reason is, as it is meant to be specifically for intricately editing audio, it as more features to it and it goes in the the specifics. 

Headphones

The main reason I used headphone was to decipher the sound from the audio and any background noise I was experiencing from the location I was in (it was also so other people couldn't hear it as well). It was also so I could fully hear every bit of the audio.

Research resources/pre production

In the pre-production phase, the resources I used were: Celtx (script planning), Blogger (general planning), Astroseek (To find out the astrology forecast that the podcast was centered around).

The important of Celtx is to give a place to professionally script out (literally!) the dialogue of the podcast.

07/02/2022 In this lesson, i started editing my smile print advert. I firstly uploaded my unintended picture onto Photoshop and then sized up the picture so it would fit the full screen by dragging it out. After that, i then began the editing process. I achieved this by adjusting the brightness/contrast levels by creating a new, adjustment layer and then selecting brightness/contrast and adjusting them. Another way i gave the photo the desired colour/shade, was by adding a colour layer over the top but not a fill colour as this would just be a solid colour. I went with a theme of darker and blue-er colours this is to mirror what the character is feeling in the print ad.  *Brightness/contrast layer* 08/02/2022 What i done this lesson was finish off the editing process for the advert. Since i completed the colour/lighting editing part of the picture, i then moved onto the main other part of it which was adding the other images/stickers/logos etc on top of the main picture. I placed t...

peer feedback from print ad

Image
 To get a better understand on how well my print ad would do, i conducted a survey on google forms to then send to my peers for them to complete. This was so i could reflect on what i done well and what i didn’t etc. Above are the results. As you can tell, the main, prominent feedback is that it would of been better if i didn’t do it last minute (which wasn’t down fully to my time management skills). Also i get the impression that my product would do well if it wasn’t for that as both peers say they would maybe take on my product if they worked for mind and the main prominent feedback is about it being rushed and not paying attention to detail. On top of this as well, they also said that my product both follows and challenges the codes and conventions of these types of print adverts and products that do that normally have a good engagement. Their reasonings for this is i followed them but the main thing i challenged was the colour scheme. Another predominant feedback point was the ...
