I found Kyla’s lectorial thoroughly entertaining on both a learning and normal scale, with the tips that we gained for the Project Brief we’d be undertaking, as well as some of the crazy and unreal podcasts that we listened too, giving us a pretty good idea of what we would want to aim to achieve from our sound recordings. Hearing such a full on non-fiction soundscape describing an incredible situation in the class was pretty incredible, and I felt as if it really was able to amplify the situation to, it gave me a lot of think about in terms of how I felt I should do this Project Brief of my own, though it would of course be lacking in as enthralling a non-fictional soundscape as that. At least I think so.
I think the fact that one of the tips being that there needs to be more than one texture is pretty solid considering I feel like my interview was lacking due to the fact there was just the talking head sound, (Brian did warn me about this). The reading goes a long way into contextualising how the textures can be laid out, like immediate, support and background, which placed me into an interesting journey in my head and online of what suitable podcast music existed, because for me podcast music falls into the trap of either being something I don’t think I’d ever be able to find/shazam, as well as music I normally listen to be way too unsuitable in that sense as well.
