Type of image : They are doing the
podcast at a studio. The angle is focused
on the middle so the audiences can focus
on the speakers. The effects used are
sound effects such as sudden bang and
eery laughter of an old woman as it was a
Halloween special
Use of lighting : The lighting was organised by
focusing on the speakers face, so that the audiences
could see their facial expression. The scenes was
pretty basic and for most of the time the framing is
focused on those three but at times they do have a
solo shot when they're telling they're own personal
stories. The costumes of those speakers are normal
casual clothes as it was an informal setting. The props
that were used are the candle to kind of give a
Halloween vibe to it, a MacBook to kind of telling the
audience that he is the DJ. A pillow to set a friendly
mood and a pair of sunglasses to kind of show his
personality as being the good fashionable guy. The
colours used are bright and striking colours such as
pink, red and stripes. They also manipulate the white
balance on the camera by making the scene appeared
Cooler and cloudy because they want to make it
seems eery and scary. The mise en scene on this
podcast was perfect as from the props to the story
telling. The editing was smooth and from the
beginning till the end it wasn’t awkward. The
positioning of the speakers are great as well, the left
one is alone which kind of showing that he’s the
moderator of the conversation and the other two on
the right are just people who reply to his questions.
Audience appeal : What makes it
appealing is that the stories told were
relatable and the setting of the whole
scene was casual and friendly vibe
towards the audience.

Type of image : The location
was at a recording studio. The
angle of the scene is in the
middle so that the audiences
can focus on both speakers but
at times there will be solo shots
depends on who was speaking
at that time. There were no
effects involve in this specific
episode on the podcast.
Use of lighting : The lighting is focused in the middle and it
was above both speakers to illuminate the speakers’ faces..
The costumes that the speakers are wearing are casual
normal clothes. The props used are normal household items.
The colours portrayed on the podcast were dark toned
colours such as black, soft pink, wood and maroon from the
bricks. They used all those elements to make the audiences
more comfortable and basically sending a message that the
discussion between the two speakers will be casual and with
a friendly tone. Moreover, with the lighting, props and the
clothes the producers want to make the audiences picture
the discussion is happening at someone’s basement. With
this, the audiences will feel more relaxing as if they are there
listening to the discussion at their own basement in their
own house. They audiences will feel more relaxed and can
even enjoy the podcast while eating dinner or while drinking
coffee. The mise en scene of the podcast was perfect
especially about the speakers arrangement. The speakers
faces each other which makes the discussions more
interesting.
Audience appeal : Podcast should be enjoyable. It is also somewhat similar to radio but
some radios discussions are serious discussions that includes politics finance and etc. But
for instance, the Joe Rogan podcast able to create an entertaining, relaxing and comfortable
podcast for people to enjoy while relaxing even when the discussions are serious
The Joe Rogan Experience

which maybe their signature colour and kind of stands
out from other podcasts.
Audience appeal : Those speakers came from a
YouTube background and they do have fame in their
name which may be the main factor on why the
podcast was successful. They also talk about hot
topics among the youth where the younger
generations can relate and find interest in.

Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each method
– Product Research
• Strength = To be able to see the common things done by podcast shows that made
it successful and replicate/use them on mine.

things in common such as theme, costume, tone and props.
– Questionnaires
• Strength = Can get opinions from people about the product. With this I can get
direct answers and can use it as reference to improve the product.

elaborate their answers and only answered yes or no.
– Interviews
Strength = Can get quality answers from interviewees about their
elaborated opinions and intellect insights.
Weakness = Sometimes the answer doesn’t help because it may be the
same thing as before or they answer half-heartedly.
