P6 (U16):Carry out post-production edits to the sound elements
Edit of the sound recorded. Used the cutting tool to delete any recordings that were not useful
Began to edit in sound effects. Used the cutting and looping tools to ensure that the sounds didn't go over the recorded podcast and didn't drag on for too long.
As some of the sound effects used were louder than expected, I used the tool changing the loop's decibel to ensure that said sound effects weren't louder than the podcast itself
Creation of the intro/outro music. I used a microphone in Garageband to create the end of the recording
The exportation of the podcast.

M2 (U16): Present the sound elements to an audience to gain feedback
When gaining feedback for my podcast, I used the method of presenting the production to all three of the audience members at once. When the podcast was over, I kept the three together when asking them what they thought I did well and what I could have improved on. This meant that I could get a general consensus on the elements they were commenting on. By asking all three of the audience members together, they could hear what the others said and could be reminded of something in the podcast that they may have forgotten to talk about.
My Audience listening to my podcast
The general consensus between all three of the audience members on what I could improve on was the podcast's sound quality and the robotic unnatural way my guest host and I spoke throughout the majority of the podcast. The sound quality was most likely due to our unfamiliarity of the microphones and their sensitivity dependant on how close we were to said microphone. The sound quality could have therefore been improved upon if we tested our voices and compared them to how far we were from the microphones and then simply heard what was recorded then make adjustments after the fact of the matter. The robotic, almost unnatural way of speaking from my guest host and I throughout the majority of the podcast was most likely due to the way I wrote the script. As I had very little experience with writing podcast scripts previously, I wasn't aware of how a normal interaction between two people sounded, and the end product felt, to the audience, "[that we were] just saying facts disguised as a conversation". They also went on to say that they didn't feel that we were speaking this way was when my co host and I were debating about streaming platforms. This was coincidentally when I wrote in my script to "improvise". In retrospect, I should have allowed more improvisation in my script and used the said script as something to refer back to rather than simply reading from said script.
The audience also said that my podcast seemed well researched and that my co host and I seemed to know what we were talking about.
M4 (U7): Explain the mode of address and structure used As my article was aimed at a 16-25 year old target audience, I ensured to make the topic I was reporting on have a relation for said target audience. This was done by me interviewing two people in the same age bracket (only one interview made the final cut). By doing this, I was ensuring that the people reading the article (16-25 year olds) could see how what was being discussed applied to them. Because the brief only specified the target audience of the newspaper, I decided that in my interpretation that it would be a broadsheet and therefore wrote a news story for this type of newspaper. This is evident from the "almost essay like writing" that was used to describe my writing when a reader commented on my work. Although I changed the format after hearing this comment to fit more within the lines of a broadsheet news paper, the writing style was kept mainly the same. The style was mainly seen from the absence of the ...
P1 (U16): Explain how different sound elements are used Throughout the Indiana Jones film series, the punch sound effect (shown above) was heavily used in scenes where characters punched each other (with the only differences being changes in the sound effect's pitch throughout the film. The punch sound effect used in the Indiana Jones films was produced by a helper holding a microphone next to a foley artist slapping a large piece of meat (such as a steak or a ham). Because the density of the meat is similar to that of a person, similar vibrations bounce off said meat making the hit sound similar to that of a person. However, as it is unlikely that the exact sound has been made from hitting different parts of the body, the recording would have most likely needed to have been changed in post so it could have been used for all contact. The Assault Rifle that was used in the Halo series of games was made to sound and operate similarly to how a similar weapon would functio...
P5 (U7): Write an original article for an identified purpose A Second Gold Rush for the British Film Industry The Streaming Wars is an uncommon phrase in most households, however, this won't be the case for long as more and more people are choosing to cut ties (and wires) with paying for broadband services and deciding to adopt streaming services as their main mode of consuming film and television in their homes. Because of the large success Netflix found from not only making their streaming platform the crown jewel of their company (as opposed to their original DVD rental by mail service) but by making high quality original content only available for the service's subscribers. Nowadays it seems like every company is trying to buy share in the streaming market share, and with the introduction of Disney+ and Apple TV from their respective companies, Netflix is in danger of losing out in a market they once dominated. Young British users are keen to respond to this increase, as...
