Alfie Pimblett documented the process of creating a podcast about an unsolved case. He began by editing together audio recordings and removing mistakes and pauses. Next, he added background music and sound effects downloaded from online to make the podcast more atmospheric. Alfie placed intro/outro sounds and effects at strategic points to build tension. Finally, he adjusted audio levels to ensure a professional, polished final product.

2. Process
• The first thing I did
when I started my
final project was cut
up the audio and get
all of my recordings
that I require for this
project together, I
recorded a short
podcast about an
unsolved case.

3. Process
• After I merged my
audio recordings
together I then
proceeded to continue
cutting and chopping
up all of the audio
sections that I want
erased from my
product, these
sections would either
be mistakes or pauses
that disrupt the quality
of my podcast.

4. Process
• After I had edited out all my
flaws and mistakes I finally
got the podcast sounding
how wanted it to sound. I
then moved onto choosing
sound effects and different
background music from
YouTube to download, I
used an mp3 converter
website to download these
audio files that would help
make my podcast sound
more sinister and create a
chilling atmosphere.

5. Process
• After I downloaded all of my
converted sound effects I then
proceeded to put them all in
place with all my clips, I placed
my intro and outro sound and
the beginning and ending of
the podcast, I placed my
sinister dark background music
when I was describing what
the topic of the podcast I
about and a few other effects
such as a bass impact when
the tension rises in the
conversation. The sound
effects made the podcast feel
more atmospheric and real.

6. Process
• Since I had finished all my
editing and placed in all of
the sound effects I needed I
then decided to do some
final touch ups such as get
the audio levels correct so it
doesn’t sound too loud or
too quiet, I did this because
I wanted to get some audio
files louder and quieter than
some others, this way it
sounds more professional
and nicely done.
