Rough cut of the podcast here.

Feedback notes: Jack Langley

Structure (intro/ outro/ links):

no proper intro or outro, but fades in and out between parts.

Soundbites & Music:

No music

Levels/ Background Noise/ Hiss/ Feedback 

Some background noise, keep more consistent though because sometimes it cuts out 

Pace/ Overall edit:

Pace needs improvement and the editing is quite bad.

Energy/ Enthusiasm:

the overall enthusiasm is good

Clear voice/ Answers:

A lot of big unneeded pauses

-----------

Feedback notes: Hannah Diver

Structure (Intro/ outro/ links):

Fades in and out before and after sections, but could do with music.

Soundbites & Music:

There is no music in the podcast so far

Levels/ Background Noise/ Hiss/ Feedback:

The sound levels of the talking is sometimes a bit louder or lower than the rest but overall it's good, the background noise for the vox pops is clear and nice.

Pace/ Overall edit:

Could do with improvement as the pace is not always consistent

Energy/ Enthusiasm:

The enthusiasm is good and consistent.

Clear voice/ answers:

The voices are easy to hear and are not grainy and kept at a levelled pitch.

-----------

I have to agree with the feedback. Although, The music (intro and outro included) was not a main priority and I am planning on adding it in later.
The pace is bad, but we were rushing the recording because of technical difficulties that set me back and because I'm bad at script writing.
The pauses is where I am planning on adding extra parts and sound tracks later on.

-----------

This screenshot shows the opening intro to my podcast, it fades out near the end as the beginning of the actual podcast fades in.

This shows the noise that I use to indicate the start of the facts round. I recorded raw footage with no editing to it during the facts part to make the podcast seem more authentic and real.

This is the part where I have placed the Vox Pops, i have cut them so it sounds like I have asked them a question and they are answering them one by one. I chose this because it would take less time than if they were played one by one.

at the end of each scene, the recording fades out and fades in to the next part. I do this so people know that a part has ended and a new conversation is beginning. 

Final cut of the podcast here.

All these sound files in the folder are the ones i used for my podcast. I cut out a lot of the sound that was in each recording. The only recording I didn't use was some of the vox pops that did not sound good or were not answered well.




Before the actual recording for the podcast begun, I had to prepare and produce a script and a list of questions to ask people. after my script was complete, myself and the people featured in my podcast (Hannah and Jack), went out to record in a room that was quiet and booked in advance. Once the recording was complete, they had to sign a release form giving me permission to use their voices on the podcast. I then went and got some vox pop recordings, in which i asked them several questions about the subject my podcast was on. i then began to edit this together and added in my vox pops after the official podcast and then began to add sound tracks that related to my podcast subject. (which was the film 'Hot Fuzz')

When recording, I used a microphone as we did not need a camera as it is not a video recording. I edited the podcast on 'Audition', an adobe software. And collected my music and sound tracks off of YouTube and from non copyright sound websites. I used royalty free sounds instead of getting them off of YouTube and other places so my podcast wouldn't be taken down due to copyright issues. I used a YouTube sound clip in there because i could not find another that would fit and i am not profiting off of this podcast in any way and it is for educational purposes.

Treatment, review and fact file powerpoint:





Script:

Holly: Hey how is everyone doing, I don’t care, let’s get on with the show.

(introduction or fade out/in)

Holly: Today I am here with two very good friends of mine, Hannah and Jack. Say hi you two.

Hannah: Hello
Jack: Hi

Holly: This week we will be discussing a comedy classic and personal favourite of mine created in 2007, Hot fuzz. Either of you watched it?

Hannah: Not recently but it isn’t one i’m going to forget anytime soon.

Jack: Only recently. Honestly, not at all what I expected.

Holly: How so?

Jack: well, I expected it to be a serious film for some reason, although, I should’ve expected a comedy because of the actors.

Hannah: Yeah, i don’t think I’ve ever seen Simon Pegg or Nick Frost in a serious film.

(Jump cut: fade out/in)

Holly: so guys. Favourite character?

Hannah: I think mine would have to be Skinner.

Jack: The supermarket owner?

Hannah: yeah him. I like how cynical and sneaky he is, like when he drives past the house that exploded playing the song ‘fire’, one of my favourite scenes. (laugh)

Jack: I think my favourite character is Danny, he’s just so childish and happy, it’s adorable, which now I say it out loud sounds really creepy. (laughs)

Holly: How about a favourite scene? Mine was literally all the fight scenes, I like how they manage to make it comedic and serious at the same time.

Hannah: I can’t decide, the gory parts are probably my favourite.

Holly: uuh, cool (nervous laugh)… Jack?

Jack: Well, my favourite part is the play near the beginning, It just reminds me of a lot of people I know who calls themselves an ‘actor’.

Holly: Very sassy, very true.

(clackson/alarm)

Holly: Won’t you look at the time, it’s the facts round! A personal favourite of mine. Somewhere you should have a piece of paper with a bunch of facts related to hot fuzz written down. We have 30 seconds to read out as many facts as possible. Don’t mess it up.

(clackson/alarm)

~Improv till end~

(clackson sounds again)

Holly: Ok so that was the end of quick fire facts, anyone learn anything?

Jack: ehhh (basically no)

Hannah: I am still surprised that Peter Jackson was part of the film

Holly: ok

(Jump cut: fade in/out)

Holly: Well IMDB gives the film 8.9 stars out of 10, which is very good, what would you guys rate it?
Hannah: I think i would have to give it 7 stars, although it has been a while since watching it, the comedy is something i can never forget.

Jack: i would say 6.5 stars. I don’t know, I just don’t think it’s for me.

Holly: Both good points, I would have to give it 7.5 stars, the comedy and overall feel of the movie go together really nicely, and it’s a first for the action movie genre.

Holly: Alright I am going to be asking a couple more people for their opinions on the film. So, Hannah Jack, I will see you later

J & H: bye.
