The Production Reflection of Unit 5

1. Production Reflection
Louis Dowson

2. Process
Here I had started on my production by inserting the audio file (The actual podcast) into
Audition, with this put into Audition I could start on adding extra audio files to touch up on the
podcast to make it seem and feel more professional, we recorded the whole thing with a Tascam
DR-05, this allowed us to get good quality audio for the podcast, we are talking for about 12
minutes purely about Video games, we are fairly well versed on video games so this allowed us
to go into detail about the whole thing, and so this made us sound fairly professional on the
topic, this helped as it made the product sound a lot better because it sounds like we know what
we’re talking about.

3. Process
Firstly I added the song ‘Ahrix – Nova’ which is copyright free, this song is suitable for
podcasts as it’s good background music and is used in other such things similar to this,
It leads well into the next songs and so makes the whole thing feel more full as a result
of this, I got this song from youtube via youtube converter which is a useful tool online
to convert youtube videos into MP3 files, Ahrix Nova is actually a song I really like, it is
used in quite a few videos on youtube and so I knew it fit in with these kind of projects,
when thinking about what songs I needed to use, I knew this would be one.

4. Process
• I then added Tobu – Hope, this is another NCS release therefore it is copyright free, this
was good background music and really just helps to flesh out the podcast as a whole, I
made the song slot in nicely and fade out well and it leads into the next song, I got this
song from youtube via youtube converter which is a useful tool online to convert
youtube videos into MP3 files, with this song I must also say it’s a great background
song, it fits in well and doesn’t distract the listener from the actual podcast.

5. Process
I then added Deaf KEV – Invincible, which again
is an NCS release which yes means it’s copyright
free, this also helped flesh out the product as a
whole, I also made sure this was turned to a
lower volume as otherwise it would have
drowned out our voices and made the podcast
pointless, I got this song from youtube via
youtube converter which is a useful tool online
to convert youtube videos into MP3 files, this is
a nice song for background music as it isn’t very
distracting can really just fit into nearly any
podcast/video.

6. Process
For an outro I used ‘Glitch Mob – Seven
Nation Army remix’ this was used as a
promotional song for Battlefield One so
it is suitable for the outro of this podcast
as we were talking about Battlefield One
during the most part of this podcast, it
also is a good outro song and finished
off the podcast, I got this song from
youtube via youtube converter which is
a useful tool online to convert youtube
videos into MP3 files, I believe the outro
is a very important part for any podcast
so this song was an obvious choice for
me, it really packs a punch and kind of
shows that Battlefield One was the
favoured game of the comparison.
