The document discusses the production process for a 12-minute gaming podcast. It describes finding background music on YouTube Audio Library, including upbeat techno music for the main sections and a slower song for the outro. It also details creating a futuristic red and black background graphic with "VGP" letters and adding a circuit board image for visual interest. Recording was done using OBS Studio with a headset microphone and speakers. Editing involved adjusting audio levels, cutting out unwanted noise, adding intro/outro music with crossfades, and fixing issues with the background image.

1. Production Reflection
Your Name

2. Process- Finding good audio
All of the background music I used in my 12 minute podcast was found on
the YouTube audio library. My idea for choosing them was to find some
digital techno t reflect with fact that this is a podcast all about gaming
when it came to the outro song u chose to use a slower song to indicate
the pod cast is finishing this audio may be used for future pod cast if I
continue it.

3. Process- background I first started off with finding and image
that was futuristic in some way so I when
with a red and black back ground that
looked like a side of a gaming pc. The red
had the effect of led lighting so it seemed
interesting. After I added the letters of VGP
in the front I got off Dafont.com, called
scrunch. I put this on the image using the
text tool then I duplicated the layer and
made the one that was on top into a filter
by clicking on filters-render-different
clouded to get a cool effect then I clicked
on colour dodge in the layers part for that
layer. With the layer underneath I blurred
the letters VGP with the gaussian blur tool.
Finally I added a layered image that was a
circuit board to give the glowing effect I
just first made the image more transparent
and clicking on colour dodge for this layer.
Overall I feel it turned out well with the
cool looking effect that are visually
appealing but I think the VGP lettering
didn’t glow in the way I wanted it too.

4. Process- recording For this I used OBS studio to record the
pod cast as it’s the best software to
record stuff like this because you can
add stuff and or take away things. you
can also put your recordings on different
channels. To set this up I click on new
scene and added and input audio
capture device of my head set
microphone and the out put to my
head set speakers and then I added the
background I made before as this only
records as a video rather than an audio
file. Then I clicked the record and started
to record.

5. Process-editing. I first added my audio that I recorded before on
OBS and raised the decibels a bit because the
audio was low and it was easier than just re
recording. Some parts I had to cut down because
the microphone picked up someone walking past
the area I was recording in. I did this using the
razer tool to cut out that section and deleting it.
Then I added the intro music when I started the
first section used the crossfade to lower the
decibels. Then I used a crossfade called constant
gain that helps the intro music to transition into
the general background music. I then repeated
the same process. When got to the outro I let go
on longer than I talk mainly due to the fact most
outros do this. The background image got
corrupted so I had to pace the image on top of
the original video constantly so it was still there
bit it was blown out of proportion so I clicked on
set to frame size so it wouldn’t be that.
Overall I feel the editing process ended quite well
and the transition s worked for what the pod cast
is .
