Capstone Research / Progress (2nd Week of April)

This week I just focused on audio editing all of the sound effects and recordings together to create my final podcasts. I also did some research on the technical aspects of creating a podcast, since I have not actually done it before. It took a long time for me to figure it out, but I finally found a website that allows for audio and video posting and gives a rss feed that can easily be used by iTunes.

I did not do any heavy research this week. Really, it seemed unnecessary since I already have prior experience with audio editing. All of the work was hands-on. However, this does not mean that prior research failed to drive through my mind while in the process of doing the work. For example, the whole time while in the editing process, I continuously thought back to all of the podcasts that I listened to at the beginning of the semester. They all had their differences. Some had background music most of the time, while others had just speaking. Also, some used many sound effects to create a scene, and others failed to do that. However, I feel that my podcasts are somewhere in between. They utilize useful and entertaining sound effects and music, while also using plain speech and many interview sound bytes. Overall, I feel that I have reached my goal of creating relevant news-based podcasts for a mostly student audience that can be played alongside many other podcasts.
