Sophie evaluated her personal project of creating a podcast about Black Friday deals. In her research, she leveraged her prior knowledge of podcasts to learn about formats and popular topics. Her planning focused clearly on discussing Black Friday, but lacked backup ideas. She managed her time well to finish on schedule but wished for more time to add music, video edits, and a longer format. Peer feedback suggested making the podcast longer while keeping the intro jingle that engaged listeners. For future projects, Sophie plans to extend the length and include background jingles based on this positive feedback.

3. Research
• My strengths was already knowing some podcasts and I didn’t have to
research too much because I already knew a lot about them. Research
helped me with my podcast because then I learnt about how podcast
works and what type of topics to talk about and also what the public likes.
My weaknesses was not being able to find a podcast from the olden days
because podcasts didn’t get popular till the early 2000’s. Going back I
would of put more detail into my writing, and next time that’s something I
can improve on and do better. I would bet better marks but at the time I
couldn’t think what else to write.

4. Planning
The strengths with planning have was I knew what I wanted to do straight
away. This made it easier because I knew one thing that most podcasters
don’t talk about which is black Friday. The weaknesses of my planning was
not knowing what other potential ideas I wanted to do. Because I knew what I
wanted to do straight away. What I can improve with planning next time is
researching ideas to inspire me with what I could potentially use. I would
have had better and also more ideas and it would of helped me out a lot.

5. Time Management
• Yes I did manage my time well and I also manages to finish my project on time,
however I do wish that we did have more time because it was VERY stressful and it
also would of improved my project because I could done cooler stuff with my
podcast. I would of put music behind the talking, I would of also done it with video
with some funny edits not only that but I would of also made it longer.

6. Technical Qualities
My cover is kind of similar with
The colours that we used.
Not only that but we basically do
the same thing where we talk
about a topic and we also talk
about random thins as well that
still have to do with the topic.
They both have an intro jingle
It’s also a chill
Podcast which was the vibe
I was going for as well.

7. Aesthetic Qualities
I think my work is okay for the
amount of time that we had
Not only that but I’ve never
done a podcast before so it’s as
good as it can get.
I like youtuber podcasts and
Podcasts that come on, on a
Morning like Jamie And Amanda.
I would improve on getting my slides done quicker
So I have more time on my podcast. And I would also put
more detail
Onto my cover for my podcast.
Next time I would
Improve my spelling
Because it was
Supposed to say ‘black
Friday manics’ not
‘black Friday minics’
I put a mic in the
Middle of a shopping
Trolly to tell the
Audience that it’s a
Podcast about black
Friday.
I also did dark
Colours because
When I think about
Black Friday I think
Of dark colours.

8. Audience Appeal
My audience appeal is 16 – 18 years olds as well as all genders and for the lower class.
Because with the lower class they don’t have a lot of money and so we’re talking about deals so
There for they’re going to interested. Not only that but to make sure my podcast has stook to
The correct age range I have made sure that I have cut out all of the swear words. Not only that
but I also edited out anything that would offend the general public.
What may appeal to my audience is
the bright colours with the dark
images And the dark fonts. I think with
my jingle it will make people more
interested with the podcast because it
is in the beginning and at the end. And
my podcast will be appealing to my
audience because my guests are very
funny in it.

13. Peer Feedback Summary
• What do you agree with from your peer
feedback? I agree that my podcast can be a little
longer, and also the jingle at the beginning is
good.

also I would put a jingle quietly through the podcast
as well because my audience liked my jingle.
