PODCASTING

I and my friend Selin created a podcast as an assignment for our educational technologies class. We decided to create a sound-rich story podcast. We were inspired by detective-based stories and shaped our structure through them. Actually, we tried to create something as a fragment like a short movie to attract the audience in a short time, which is 90 seconds.

First, we created the outline of the story, then we completed the sketch. After deciding what would happen to the character, we began to record the dialogs, adding sounds, and music. From my point of view, recording the dialogs was the most challenging part, due to the fact that acting properly, reflecting emotions, and intonation could be really hard for amateurs, we experienced it.

During the creation process, we had lots of fun especially when we were recording the dialogs. Because I realized that bringing fictional characters to life is very euthanistic.

In the future, I would definitely give my students similar tasks. The reason behind this is, podcasting makes students think about the dialogs in the foreign language, while forcing them to create something in a good way, and I sincerely believe that it is a very important fact.
