Podcasting

Using only the voice, people have become actors, voice actors. Just changing the tone of the voice they can change the situation. This is what podcasting can be able todo. Podcasting can be a job most of us have not thougth of.

VoiceOver is a production technique with a voice which is used in radio, presentation, television film and theater. Not only is voiceused in Podcast but also music and sound effects. Then there are 3 tracks: one for voice, another for music and a third one for sound effects. Joe Cipriano is a famous exmple of podcaster, he presents the series ‘Two and a Half men’. His website: http://www.joecipriano.com/ Another exmple is Juanma Ortega, he now works in ‘El Carusel Deportivo’

A good thing about podcast is the in its pure form podcasts are free, you don’t buy htem or sell them eventhough people like Joe Cipriano have made of it their buisness. You can download podcasts from Itunes, player and subscripter.

RSS (ReallySimple Syndication) it is when you suscribe; each time the thing you suscribed to launches a new thing (podcast) you get informed and you can download it if you want.

There are two main audio editors we are going to use:
Audacity: You can download it free and usually Window computers use it.
Garageband: Comes with the Macs (It is in iLife)

Aitana’s and Olatz’s Video

At first we had decided to do a video about Plantzia, a town near the sea. However, seeing that we did not know how to develop this idea, we decided to change it.
We finally opted for the idea of making a recopilation of the 50 most wonderful and beautiful places of the world. We decided to chose 10 places from each of the 5 continents.

Equipment used:

For some of the photographs we used our own cameras because we had been to some of the places such as , New York ( Times Square and Brookyln Bridge)
For other photographs we used a scanner and the remaining photographs we collected from Internet.
To make the video we first put the photos in PowerPoint with the information and then we took a picture of the screen and opened it in Paint. Once opened we saved it as a jpg file so we could insert this file in Movie Maker.
Once all the pictures and audio were inserted in Movie Maker we edit it with Movie Maker’s main features ( such as Transitions and Effects)

Delivery Format:

When having to deliver it we had several difficulties: Firstly, we tried to send it via Gmail but the file was to large. After, we tried to compress the video (ZIP Folder) but it was still too large. Then we had the magnificent idea of using Dropbox , however; when it was 94% uploaded, the computer froze. Finally we decided to create a Youtube account and upload the video there.
