 This post was made by my teacher, Mr. Nick For your critical self-reflection, please create an interactive presentation to display your work. You can use the site  www.prezi.com Candidates must write an evaluative essay of around 600 words. This critical reflection of their work should be guided by the following compulsory questions:  • How do your products represent social groups or issues?  • How do the elements of your production work together to create a sense of ‘branding’?  • How do your products engage with the audience?  • How did your research inform your products and the way they use or challenge conventions? Please start your presentation with an outline of the brief, as well as a summary of what you did for the assignment. Brief: Create 2 podcast episodes  Create a sponsored advert for your show Create a thumbnail and social media campaign to promote your show

My team and I have created a podcast for this project, along with a social media page and merchandise. In our podcast "Unsolved" we discuss true classic unsolved crime cases the targetted audience are people aged 15-19 years. We made two episodes for our podcast, the first episode of our podcast is about the Black Dahlia and the second episode is about Jack The Ripper. How do your products represent social groups or issues? In our podcast, we use white people as our representation. How we ended up to this conclusion is from analyzing a survey we conducted on our fellow students. Based on the data we analyzed from the survey we conducted, most of the students prefer classic western crimes. The representation of our true crime podcast conforms to traditional thinking as we use white British stereotypical people. Our main character Vienna Reymonds is a white, British policewoman, spoken with a stereotypical British accent. As Stuart Hall’s representation theory states that repre

Viewer’s discretion is highly advised. “We are all capable of becoming something monstrous.” A quote by Cyraus Foldger…. Welcome to _____ Hello, my name is Viena Raymond of the United Nations department of the unsolved and unexplained. A department dedicated to archiving the unsolved crimes of the world…yes we have one of those. The head of the department, Avery Legras has recruited me as an intern archivist to assist the department after a recent natural disaster had completely destroyed our archive room where we keep all the case files.  I will be tasked to read out said case files and record them for organization purposes-- and so we won’t have to dig through 300 years worth of files ever again…I will be reading out a case file for probably one of the most well known unsolved crimes in the western world. The

This research was done by my team member Kanna RESEARCH A podcast cover art is essential for every podcast. Podcast cover necessary to attract listeners' attention as it is the first thing your listeners will see prior to listening to the podcast. It's a visual representation for your podcast and it conveys the big idea of the podcast. After doing my research and analysis, I notice that simplicity is the key to designing a good podcast cover. It must be clear and straightforward in order for the audiences to understand.  Here are a few true crime podcast cover arts I took a look at : Most of them use black or light grey as the base color. Red is often used as it connotes blood and death. Most of it uses dark backgrounds and white or a vivid color text for contrast. Some of them feature elements related to crimes such as syringe and fingerprint to clearly indicate that it's a true crime podcast. Many of them feature the logo of their production house so audiences know which
