Kieran Crook's original plan was to create a music video for a music project, but the outbreak of COVID-19 made this impossible. As a result, Kieran decided to adapt the project into a podcast about casual conversations among friends. Kieran created a mind map of example podcasts including The Smith Squad and Ear Biscuits. Kieran analyzed a mood board and found repetition in themes like darker sets and the color blue across podcasts. The mood board will influence the design of Kieran's podcast thumbnail, advertising, and distribution as both audio and video files.
2. Initial Reaction
• My original plan was to make a music video to
pair with a music project I was working on
superheated from the course however due to
the outbreak of COVID-19 this became a near
impossible task and would have been a push
to even make this plan feasible so in response
to the obstacle of COVID I have decided to
adapt my project to be a podcast about
subjects among friends that usually don’t
escape a conversation
5. Mood Board Analysis
There is repetition in the podcast varied use of darker themes on
the set whilst the viewer cannot usually see this as it is simply a
listening thing the creators still use similar themes in any images
or videos of the set and the podcast itself the theme of blue is
also reoccurring whether this is genre or podcast specific is up
for debate but it is an eye catching colour all the same
The mood board will influence my final product as the thumbnail
and the advertising section of the fmp will be a factor using the
colours and the open style of the pod the podcast will be audio
and video based so that the user can use either this will be
represented in an MP4 and an MP3 of the pod
