This week, I decided that I should start listening a some podcasts/audio works to get a better understanding of how the medium can be used because our final project was based on sound. Since my group was focusing the project 4 around Game of Thrones, I decided to listen to a couple podcasts about it.
I thought it rather interesting trying to analyse the works, determining whether each scene or area is better off being in the audio medium or whether it needs a visual. Using the podcast example above, it was very conversational/discussion like, which made it easy to understand and follow. The tone of their voice was informal, conversation like and friendly which again, makes it as if you’re talking to the people. The thing about audio is that there’s nothing visual so it’s left to our imagination and our senses to mentally picture what’s going on.
