Our Tutorial this week was focused on Project Brief 4 and brainstorming further the possibilities and thoughts we have towards our topic. Focusing on the medium of Sound and it’s evolution through time and its effects on audiences. We decided to focus on how sound mediums have found new uses from different audiences throughout its evolution, and what kind of effect it has. My role is researching new mediums of sound and its user effects, and narrowed my investigation down to the use of mainly podcasts and the devices used to listen to podcasts (e.g iPods, MP3 players). My findings have been interesting as they often link the uses to educational tools and informative devices (e.g news sources). My other group members are focusing on more traditional forms of sound medias and their effects, as well as more sensory and educational effects through its evolution. We have so far gathered a substantial amount of info on our topic, and hopefully can consolidate it all to piece together an outline for the final presentation. As i’ve mentioned in previous posts, we want to create a website or blog that presents our findings, with blog posts featuring text, podcasts and links to music/sound websites.
