4. Mood Board

6. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected?
Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
The images that I have collected for my mood board have a lot of repetition. For example the
most obvious one is the fact that every image is black and white this is because my idea for the
FMP is to create a black and white silent film. Some images include Oscar Wilde as he is most
famous for his comedic silent movies. A lot of the images set a sort of dark mood as many of
them are horror films, more specifically they are German expressionist films which tend to be in
black and white and have a scarier theme to them.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
I think my mood board will influence my final product a lot. This is because I have already set out
on what I want to create in the past, so by taking all these images and laying them out I can get a
better understanding of different methods used to create the perfect silent film.

7. Influence/Inspiration
Joe Rogan is an American comedian, podcast host, actor, and television host. He was born on
August 11, 1967, in Newark, New Jersey, and raised in San Francisco, California.
Rogan began his career as a stand-up comedian in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and later
became the host of the television show "Fear Factor" from 2001 to 2006. He is perhaps best
known for his hugely popular podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience," which he has been hosting
since 2009. The podcast covers a wide range of topics, including comedy, current events, science,
technology, health, and philosophy, and has featured a diverse array of guests from various fields.
In addition to his work as a comedian and podcast host, Rogan has also appeared in several films
and television shows, including "NewsRadio," "The Man Show," "Entourage," and "Here
Comes the Boom." He is also an accomplished martial artist, having trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu
and taekwondo, and has been a commentator for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)
since 1997.
Rogan is known for his outspoken and controversial opinions on a variety of topics, and his
podcast has been both praised for its open-mindedness and criticized for its occasional promotion
of fringe or conspiracy theories.

Rogan Experience

8. Joe Rogan/ The Joe Rogan Experience
Joe Rogan has been criticised as to which guests he chooses to invite onto his podcast, I have
created a list of the top 5 most controversial guests who have appeared on the joe Rogan
experience.
1.Alex Jones
(Known for his disturbing and ridiculous conspiracy theories.)
2. Jordan Peterson
(Peterson believes that order is masculine and chaos is feminine, and these qualities are
inherent to human existence.)
3. Elon musk
(Not so much Musk’s views however he received lots of backlash for smoking weed on the
podcast.)
4. Edward Snowden
(Responsible for handing over material from one of the most secret organisations, The NSA.)
5. Candace Owens
(Owens mentioned that climate change wasn't as big of an issue as it's been made out to be. She
asserted disbelief at climate change because of how politicized it has become.)

9. Influence/Inspiration
Dr Jordan Peterson
• Jordan Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic, and professor
of psychology at the University of Toronto. He gained international recognition in
the late 2010s for his lectures, interviews, and bestselling books, which often touch
on topics related to psychology, philosophy, politics, and cultural issues.
• Peterson first rose to prominence for his critiques of political correctness and his
defence of free speech. He became a controversial figure in some circles for his
views on gender, particularly his opposition to government-mandated use of
gender-neutral pronouns. He has been both praised and criticized for his ideas,
with some people seeing him as a champion of free expression and others as
promoting regressive ideas.
• In addition to his academic work, Peterson has authored several books, including
"12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos" and "Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for
Life," which offer advice on personal development, ethics, and living a meaningful
life. His work has been influential to many people seeking to better understand
themselves and the world around them.

10. Influence/Inspiration
Jordan Peterson
I am not necessarily focusing this influence on the podcast side it is more about the
beliefs and views Jordan Peterson voices. Seen as though my podcast is going to be
about some controversial topics I feel it is best to research people like Peterson so I
can get a better understanding as to why people like him have these views. Jordan
Peterson actually does have a podcast where he discusses many different problems
with the world however at this time I haven’t listened to much of it.
Individualism: Peterson emphasizes the
importance of individual responsibility,
self-improvement, and personal agency.
He believes that individuals should strive
to improve themselves and take
responsibility for their own lives.
Traditionalism: Peterson is critical of many
aspects of contemporary culture and
values, arguing that traditional values and
structures are important for maintaining
social stability and individual well-being.

11. Why are you making this project?
• I am creating this project as I am very much a fan of podcasts, more
importantly ones that talk about controversial topics like politics,
conspiracy theories etc. I feel making this project will broaden my mind
about how other people view things compared to me and attempt to get
to the bottom of why they have these controversial views. Aswell as to
broaden my mind I want to create something that people will enjoy
listening to and hopefully people will learn things from it and that is
something I want to happen in the outcome of this project.

12. Hopes for the FMP
• My hopes for this FMP is that I will create a piece that will at least
achieve a merit grade as I will be very happy with that grade. I also want
to create a podcast that is enjoyable to listen to however based on the
topic I have chosen I need to be very careful with what I create as it Is a
sensitive topic and some people may be upset or become offended so I
have to bare that in mind when creating this podcast. I also would like to
carry on creating podcast episodes after the FMP project as it is
something that interest me massively, it may not be about topics which
are serious but instead more of a comedic show and having a laugh.

13. Strengths and Limitations
Strengths
• A strength of mine I would say is being able to use many of the software's
on the computer to edit pieces of footage so that it looks very good and
more professional, this will help in the creation of my FMP as I want my
work to look better than anything else I have achieved so that It gets a good
grade when it comes to handing it in.
• Another strength that I believe I have is the ability to communicate and
discuss points that are relevant to a topic that I am given. So as this podcast
I am creating is going to be talking about controversial topic I believe this
strength will come in use as you need to have good communicative skills to
argue points that you might not agree with and have the ability to get your
opinion heard as well. This strength will help in the production side as I have
already mention it is helpful if you are able to discuss sensitive topics and
that you can argue points you don’t agree with.
• Aswell as these two other strengths I think something else I feel I am strong
in is researching other similar products and seeing how these things are
created and what bits make it look so good and then from that I can use it
when it comes to my own production to create a piece of work that has
elements that make it the best production piece. Taking ideas from other
great pieces of work is one of the things I believe will help me create a final
piece that will have a good grade in the end.

14. Strengths and limitations
Limitations
• The biggest limitation I think that I will come across when creating this
project is the idea that certain topics I am hoping to discuss wont be able
to be put in as some people may find offense or become upset about
anything that could be said in the podcast, this factor will definitely affect
the production side as I will need to be careful about what is said and
careful about what topics we are discussing.
• Another limitation when it comes to this project is trying to get a guest to
appear on the podcast. The reason this is a limitation is because not all
people in England have controversial views where it makes a podcast
interesting plus it will be hard to find someone in this country and pay for
their travel, the majority of controversial figures come from the USA so
this will be something I need to think about when it comes to the time of
recording the podcast.
• I would say there are many limitations when it comes to creating a
podcast infact to many to write out, however one limitation for me
personally will be the ability to create the highest quality podcast ever.
Realistically it isn’t going to be on the same page as podcasts like the joe
rogan experience, the pin pin podcast etc. as I do not have all of the
equipment they use and the high tech gear they have to create such high
quality podcasts.

15. Potential Research Activities
• Some potential research activities I might look at when it comes to the
research PowerPoint is looking at different websites about podcast statistics
and seeing which podcast genres are the most popular in either the UK or the
USA, and also which podcasts are the most listened to monthly. Another
research activity I will be looking at is different topics I want to talk about when
it comes to making the podcast, I have a few ideas in mind already but I
wouldn’t mind looking at other topics that I am interested in and feel
passionate about talking about.
