Creating a Podcast Episode; The Wallet in The Forest

-

    We created a short fictional podcast for this project. The podcast is explicitly titled The Wallet in The Forest. In the story, two characters are followed as they discover a mysterious wallet while walking through the woods, and this seemingly simple object slowly turns into a chilling mystery for them. Eerie tales with unexpected twists as well as memories of exploring quiet forests inspired us.

 Throughout that entire process, we  have collaborated with my mate upon each individual step, we wrote the entirety of the script, we recorded each bit of dialogue, and we edited all of the audio with ambient forest sound effects in order to build atmosphere. The final version of the audio was edited by us through the utilization of CapCut. It’s mainly a video editor. Furthermore, it additionally helped us to thoroughly trim the silences, properly adjust the pacing, and smoothly blend in the sound effects that we have used Pixabay to find. We employed Audacity specifically to diminish mic hiss and static. This action permitted us to clean our voices and improve overall clarity to some degree.

    A few challenges existed along the way. It was not at all easy in writing a story that has a complete structure contained within only 90 seconds. Using a basic microphone made a certain amount of background noise into an issue we faced. However, to solve these problems was a part of the fun, as we especially enjoyed voice acting as well as experimenting with different sounds.

    A task that is similar for our learners is certainly in our future plans. It promotes creativity as well as digital skills along with storytelling and also collaboration. The project would likely be enjoyable and engaging for students, plus these are valuable skills for the 21st century.

I have collaborated with my friend Naz Emanetoğlu, you can click here to visit her blog.

       For our assignment, my friend Naz and I produced a 2-minute fictional story video. The plot revolved around two princes where one was brave but foolish while the other was smart but cowardly. Their father, the king, ordered them to go defeat a dragon. In the end, they learned some other things.      We began with a joint story writing session. After, we narrated and recorded the audio. Naz took the role of the narrator and I voiced the princes. To improve the cleanliness of our audio, we used  Cleanvoice AI  which is effective in background noise reduction.        With  Storyboard That , we created 34 different scenes which we termed visually as parts to a story. Using audio from  Pixabay , we searched for sound effects and music, especially medieval and fairy tale themed music to add more soul into the video.  Kdenlive  was used to combine the audio recording with sound effects, music, and ...
