Weekly Reflection

Weekly Reflection

    The second week of our senior project went smoothly, and I am very happy with what we were able to produce. We stayed on track this week, publishing two episodes as planned. Our work schedule followed pretty similar to the previous week. It is a little surreal to think that we only have three days left of senior project, and six until graduation. 

For these last three days, Max and I have one last episode to record. We will likely split the recording between Monday and Tuesday, trying out some different ideas and just getting some mass of content available for when we go to edit it all. Our final editing and episode will then be pushed out by Wednesday night, with editing done over the course of the morning and afternoon. We hope to include repeated segments but also mix in new stuff.

The most difficult challenge this week was definitely rallying to get some new ideas down on paper for us to record. We had some really great ideas but transferring them over to a workable and interesting topic for the podcast was certainly difficult. It was an obstacle that we were able to overcome however, as both episodes brought fresh ideas we were very satisfied with. We also switched up the style a bit between episodes, trying some more free flow stuff with our third episode and more back and forth with our second.

Weekly Reflection This week was exciting. I was initially a little worried, as our equipment was not slated to arrive until late in the week, but was pleasantly surprised when it showed up over Tuesday and Wednesday. After a bunch of testing, we began to record. The episodes were a total blast to record. Unfortunately, though, we messed up our first recording and had to re-record the entire thing. It wasn't an issue, though, as our re-recorded episode turned out better than the original, in my opinion. It was super cool to see our podcast up on official streaming services, along with a logo that turned out great, although it did take a few tries to get that right. We are most likely going to keep experimenting with more formats to continue approaching the marketing aspect of our project. These would probably be social media-based, catering towards shorter lengths and catchy moments to draw attention to the much longer and more attention episodes. It is just a matter of whether

Relaxed day. Woke up stress-free, got some breakfast, and headed off to assembly to announce school leader results. As our equipment hasn't arrived yet, Max and I spent the day writing down ideas for our podcast and planning for the first few. We met with Scott to discuss what we had done and our direction for the entirety of the two weeks, and he was able to offer us some good advice. I won't lie, it was incredibly nice to be done with classes and homework. Hopefully tomorrow all of the equipment will arrive and we will be able to get it all set up. I am super excited for the first episode! I may post a sneak peek here.

 Today was a bit of an off day. After uploading yesterday we spent the day communicating through and monitoring our social media. We tried to market this episode a little better as it can be hard once you lose some hype to regain said hype. We were very happy with the episode though, so this wasn’t much of a challenge. Tomorrow will likely be spent shaping up our next episode and outlining for the rest of the senior project time.
