Today’s tutorial was further developing Project Brief 4. It was really helpful to present our findings so far to the class, as it forced us to formulate a concrete outline. Having all our group members together and discussing our brief was thought provoking and progressive in terms of what we are going to do. We are have decided on a more direct line of action, creating a podcast that will be divided into 3 parts. Each of us will direct one of the 3 sections and present our own findings as well as conducting an interview. We are in the process of writing a script and consolidating our research into questions for an interview. Our segment will reflect on researched podcasts, using a host and sound techniques to create a formal podcast. We have restricted our podcast to 15 minutes, however i feel like it make go for longer as interviews could take more than 5 and then explanations and further research will take more time to explain.
After presenting our Artefact element as a Work in Progress document to the class we were able to get feedback. Some people suggested that we listen to a few specific podcasts such as The American Life, Start Up, Night Vale, Criminal and there are many more i’d like to listen to in the future. This was helpful to us as we were unaware of many popular podcasts and podcast providers.
