Week 14 Blog Post 2/2: That's All Folks!

     Wow, I cannot believe this. This is my final blog post. It seems like it was only yesterday that I was writing my first blog post to introduce myself. This has been a wild ride and I am so happy with all the work that I have done. 

    But we are not done yet. I still have two more episodes to go! I posted my first episode at about 5:45 pm on Tuesday. However, that was only because I had a meeting until 5:00 pm after class so I wasn't able to finish editing until then. The first episode turned out better than I imagined. I have to thank Abigail and TJ for that. I can only do so much in post but I could never make the characters as alive and real as they did with their voice acting. 

    I am on page three out of seven/eight of my episode two script and I have one and a half pages of the episode three script, though that is just Gale and Terrance's lines. Cassandra's lines tend to be harder because she is driving the main plot of the story so I need to make sure that I hit all the story beats. I  have to stay focused and concise. My plan is to finish the script after class and record Cassandra's and the police chief, whose name is still pending, on Saturday with my father. then on Sunday, I will edit the episode. I hope to get it done in one day. Then on Monday, I will write up the episode three script before sending both in. Finally, I will record and edit the day after Thanksgiving, just so I do not have to worry about other things getting in the way. So far, everything is going according to plan but I am going to knock on wood just in case. 

  The hardest part of this whole process, however, is deciding what is my favorite part. I love being able to flex my creative muscles with the script and voicing a character. It was so much fun recording TJ's and Abigail's lines. I was trying to be as excited as quietly possible as I listened to them. They were so invested in the project as I am. We even posed for a cover picture! I am so excited about what comes next. 

    Since this is the last blog post, I do want to say that this has been an amazing experience. I have had so much fun with this class and I have met some really awesome people! I hope you guys had as much fun as I did. Thank you. 

    This is Gabby signing off!

    Your podcast sounds really cool! I was hoping to do something similar in mine, but realized I couldn't transform my idea into a podcast well. What is the genre of the story you're producing? I like that you made your podcast topic play to your strengths and creativity! Thank you for being my classmate! I hope all continues going well for your podcast!

Blog Post Week 9: Sounds of Silence

          Silence is an interesting concept in podcasts. The whole point of podcasts is that you hear it. You can't see the podcast host/performer so they have to convey their emotions and character through the sound. So how can a podcast use silence then? When first thinking about silence, I could not put how it was used in words. Then I saw this quote by  Heidi McKee:   “silence traces noise and noise traces silence in such an interleaving that there cannot, really, ever be a separation, hence the importance of discussions of silence in any discussions of sound”. It is like night and day, chocolate chip cookies and milk; you cannot have one without the other. This article as a whole illustrates that silence has no set use for it. Sure, you can use it the most common way, to create tension, but you can also use it to make jokes or transition into another scene. Both of these uses of sound are used in the podcast The Two Princes. In episode 4, Rup...

Blog Post Week 8: Remediations and AUs

      Whenever a professor asks if the class knows the meaning of something, I tend to nod my head no. I like to get clear definitions in case the professor has a different definition. Though, when Dr. Gerding asked if anyone heard of remediation, my no was genuine. The word itself did not even seem familiar to me. However, once I learned what remediation actually is, it turned out that I have been using remediation for years.       One way you can use remediation is by taking another creator's creation and transforming it into something original. Normal people probably have a smart or sophisticated example of this. However, I myself am strange and unusual. So the first thing I thought of was fanfiction. Fanfictions are stories based on popular media and its characters. That are so many different types of fanfiction. There are in-canon fanfictions that follow the canon storyline as a way of predicting what happens next or changing some things that happ...
