Podcast Critical Self Reflection

Image
The Red Podcast hosted by me, Narent, and Abizer features a subverted true crime genre convention. The podcast is targeted to audiences aged 14 - 19 because I think that there are elements in the podcast that may be unsuitable for younger audiences or boring for older ones. We have also created a social media page in Instagram in order to advertise and update our audiences about the upcoming releases of our episodes. For the first episode we talked about the school's red note system, and for the second episode we talked about the basketball school team. How do your products represent social groups or issues? Stuart Hall suggests that media does not reflect meaning, it creates it. An example of when this happens are stereotypes. Stereotypes are used to represent people in a way that gives them a label. It is used as a result of a lack of diversity in production. For the first episode of the podcast, we talk about the red notes. This is connected to the naughty boys stereotype. The u

Podcast Radio Room

  Radio Room Equipment Tutorial with Mr. Wayan      Mr. Wayan had to teach us how to handle all the equipment in the podcast room and he also told us that we are not permitted to change any settings so that it does not interfere with other peoples recordings.     When this was happening at school, I was absent because I had to attend Basketball matches outside of school. As a result, my friends had to teach me how things worked when I finally returned.

Podcast Progress/Changes

Image
       Personally, I think that the progress for our podcast was slow in the beginning and we just didn't really know what to make. However, me and Narent came up with the idea of making the podcast somewhat similar to the Buzzfeed Unsolved series in YouTube. The Buzzfeed Unsolved series was a bit too serious for our liking so we decided to switch things up and make our podcast a little dramatic and humorous.       Before we started to actually record the podcast, we had to run a survey to see what the majority of people are interested in. We made the survey in a google form and asked random people from around the school to answer our survey. After we've collected enough data, we began to spot trends and decided to make the topic for the first episode be about the infamous Red Note.      For my role, I worked on making the dramatic intro for the topic of the episode. I also suggested that there should people commenting in the background as I'm giving out the dramatic intro.

Podcast Editing Process

  Credit: Narent  Narent's Blog:  https://narent-regentsmedia.blogspot.com/      For the Podcast Editing Process, the work was done by one of my teammates in which he used the application called 'CapCut' to edit all of the content.       During the first stages of his editing progress, he was already quite familiar with the app as he has used the app quite a few times in the past for personal projects. However, during the first few weeks the editing was a bit slow, the only thing he's done was putting the raw audio with the logo picture as we were busy planning out everything. During the final weeks, Narent finished the editing in about a day each for both podcasts. Some of the effects he used were available in the CapCut app, and some he used from YouTube, and converted them to mp3 by using a YouTube to mp3 converter he found online:      And during the 2nd podcast, he used quite a fair bit of beeping sounds during Raphael's interview as he said quite a few curse w

Notes

  New media has helped change the way video games are styled. It has helped older traditional video games update their user interface in order for it to stay in line with the new trends and can even go as far as to change the gameplay itself. An example I'd like to use for this is the video game called Valorant. With the new reboot and release of another game that has existed before called Overwatch 2 along with the help of streaming platforms that help the game become more popular, Overwatch 2 has influenced video games such as Valorant into following their style may it be in their user interface, artstyle, or even how their game is played. New media change films to be more realistic, for example the use of CGI. on the black panther movie. In this film, Marvel uses CGI to make it more realistic and real. the second example of the film was game of thrones to make the dragon visual and the audience could see it. In conclusion, we used to listen to music on the radio, now we can list

Post - Colonialism

Image
Post-Colonialism in Modern Media Post-Colonialism. What I believe this means is that it is how people tend to base their thoughts and beliefs towards superior and inferior groups off of media texts that represent the more superior group of people such as the British to be more powerful and civilized as compared to the 'other' ethnic groups.  In todays class, we tried to analyze two different media texts that can be seen to use the theory of Post-Colonialism. The first show 'The Crown' represents the British people in a really formal and polite way. They are seen to be more superior and developed as compared to the natives. The natives are also shown to be supporting them in a way that almost looks like they are worshipping the British.  The second show 'The Kingsman' represents the British in a slightly different way. They are shown to be elite, skilled, serious, clean, and white. This is because the British wants the majority of people to view them as the more

Podcast Research

Week #1: We listened to 2 podcasts called "The rest is history:1066" and "Don Snow's History Hit:1066" Week #2: - Week #3: We analyzed podcasts while taking notes about it in order to get an idea of how our podcast intro is going to sound like.  "Pod Save America" is the name of one of the podcast. The podcast started with an advert followed by an intro song and an introduction to our hosts who are starting the topic.  The second podcast called "You're Dead To Me" started with a sponsor and had a Christmas cracker sound effect.  The third podcast, "Always Sunny" started instantly with a casual talk and conversation and leans more into talking about life topics. The final podcast, "Slow Burn" it started off with a narrative and is delivered in a way sort of like in the news. They had interviews, warnings, old voice recordings, and sound effects from the TV show that they were featuring.

Survey Summary

Image
Survey Link:  Podcast Survey   For the podcast survey we decided to ask the participants to answer a few critical questions that would decide the path our team is going to take. The first question was "Which podcast topic interests you the most?" and the majority answered with 'Our experience at school'. As a result of this, we decided to talk about school rules and how they affect us. More specifically, we talked about the red notes and invited a special guest who's had experience getting the red note. In our podcast, we decided to choose 3 speakers, make the tone energetic and humorous, add background music, and last but not least have the conversations unscripted in order to make it sound and feel more natural.

The consumers are able to access a 3D model of the product they are going to buy and view it in augmented reality in order to see it in real size. This can come in very useful as customers who usually buy their stuff online will be able to be guaranteed instead of trying to guess whether the product their buying will fit in their living space or not.

Social Media / Thumbnail Podcast Research

Narent: Logo & Thumbnail Abizer: Reference Sam: Social Media  LOGO & THUMBNAIL The topics for our podcast are humor and true crime, we would need to find a logo with something that fits in both categories, since humor will be the leading factor, we would have a humorous logo with a hint of true crime. From the research Narent has done, logos that are humorous look mostly like this: The logos main trend for this type of genre look comic like and bright colors. Having drawings of funny looking characters with a comic book like background, even having the word “comedy” in it, cartoon versions of their faces looking confused, this is a trend in the genre, where the podcast’s a type of question answering podcast, and smiling hosts. The second genre which is true crime have logos that look like this: For this type of genre, the main trend for their logos are simpler and monotoned. They’re a lot less busy, the fonts look clean and simple, not a lot going on, more aesthetic. Reference
