  Process • The firststage of creating the podcast was recording the actual footage and audio. I did this with a Audio technical at2020 microphone for the audio and a Sony a7iii. We recorded a small portion of the podcast in the first session, I think it went well, we managed to easily fill the allocated time for the specific topic and I believe it was an interesting subject. The only problem that occurred was camera placement, at first we couldn’t find a place to stand the camera so that it could capture us all in the shot, we solved this by stacking a couple of items on top of each other for the camera to stand on.

  Process • On thesecond day of recording the podcast, we did the exact same stuff as the first day but we moved on to talk about a different subject, the same microphone and camera where used and everything went pretty well. We discussed some attention grabbing things in my opinion and kept the conversation going throughout the entire portion. In terms of problems, at one point we started talking but didn’t realise the camera wasn’t recording, we solved this by doing a retake and making sure the camera was recording this time.

  Process • On the3rd day everything went smoothly and as planned, we recorded the third and final portion left of the podcast and I assembled all of the clips and audio files on to my computer so I could start editing as soon as possible. No identifiable problems occurred on this day of production. The same equipment was used also.

  Process • Today Imade a start on editing the podcasts audio, I cut out anything irrelevant, boring or that just didn’t work well. I also edited a few things to make the voices more clear and recognisable, I think I definitely improved it a lot. At first I didn’t really know what effects i should add to the audio to make it sound better but I just searched up a tutorial to speed things up. I used audacity for the audio editing.

  Process • Today Ifinished the audio editing portion of the podcast, I just adjusted some of the levels so that everything was the same volume and none of the audio was clipping. After I completed the audio editing I made a start on cutting all of the footage and assembling it in the correct order. This the first stage of the visual editing that I need to complete and then I plan on adding effects. Not really any major problems apart from the length of time it took, I had to cut out a lot of footage to meet the time requirement. Also another problem that occurred was the premiere pro application that I was using, it started crashing multiple times and it took me quite a while to get it to work again, eventually I just uninstalled premiere pro and reinstalled it which fixed the issue.

  Process • Today Icompletely finished my podcast, I am pretty satisfied with the final product and think it looks decent. The only real problem that occurred today while I was finishing everything was premiere pro, it started crashing and crashed multiple times throughout the day which wasted quite a lot of time. To solve this I simply uninstalled the application and reinstalled it, this fixed the problem straight away.
