Podcasters Bio

My name is Ryan Wells, I attend Mountain View High School and Freestyle academy. I am a film student that currently is a senior and I hope to soon be a notable filmmaker! Making this podcast was something that really allowed me to understand more about sound and the organization of a narrative. This was a fantastic way to explore some of my passions such as sound design and narrative design. 

Introductions

We did a podcast because we wanted to explore more research topics and a narrative design for storytelling. We wanted to explore sound design and music topics. It is fantastic to read a story, however it is even better to listen to it. Picturing the stories in our heads is so much better and the potential for imagination with podcasts is amazing. Some inspirations I had was planet money and their podcasts. They provide for fantastic stories that bring out your imagination in the best ways.

Reflection

This was definitely one of the best projects I’ve done. It was fantastic to make a podcast such as this one. It was fun to create a story that allowed people to imagine a movie inside their heads. Sound design is one of my favorite things and I feel as though making a podcast is a fantastic way to encourage imagination. The ability to let someone imagine a story in their head simply through sound is an amazing thing. Being able to express a story in such a medium is a creative, fun, yet different and unique way to do it. Taking away from this project I feel that I learned a lot about sound design and the importance of narrative detail. Detail in any medium is incredibly important for stories and for podcasts, it can mean sound, specific features, or music. Some tips for other podcasters I would recommend is to take advantage of sound design or music. That is a fantastic way to immerse your listeners into your podcasts.
