PODCAST PROJECT

Genres, Artists and Technology

Miskin Music
MIDI ROOM GROUP TASK

• You are to produce a podcast that will focus on a


specific year in pop music history.

• The podcast will be 8-10 minutes in length.

• Your group will research, plan, record and edit the


whole thing.

• The podcast and an evaluation of the process must be


presented on your Unit 1 Wix site.
Your group will be given ONE year in
pop music history to research.

From that year you will investigate


and present:
• Genres of music
• Prominent artists and producers
• Technology (for both creating and consuming music)
• Cultural and/or Political influences
The podcast might also include:

• The number 1s of the year or


songs that defined the era
• The fashion of the time
• Musical/production styles or
instruments particular to the
time
• How the music of the time
influenced culture/society
• Legacy or influence of the
music from that year still
heard today
Research

• Independent and group research will be


necessary.
• Consider primary (e.g. interviews) and non-
internet based secondary research, alongside
Google.
• Keep notes of all sources (including websites)
as these will be referenced.
Planning

• Consider the different roles and


responsibilities each group
member will undertake while
making a podcast.
• Decide a structure and give your
podcast a title.
• Consider how you might present
it: as DJs on the radio; as a
documentary; with comedic/story
structure etc
• Write a script or detailed plan.
Music Stipulations

• Examples of music will be necessary for the podcast,


but clips longer than 15 seconds will require speaking
over the top. The clips cannot be longer than 40
seconds in total.
• You are encouraged to compose your own music, for
the introduction or background.
• The names of all tracks and their artists must be
mentioned in the podcast.
Presentation

• Your podcast must sound as professional as


possible, with any audio or music issues addressed.
• Although not all groups members will want to
‘present’ the podcast, the final production must
have equal input by all.
• The podcast must not exceed 10 minutes. You may
choose to create 3 or 4 mini episodes of 2/3
minutes.
• The final podcast will be mixed and ‘bounced’ to
mp3.
Evaluation

• After the completion of your podcast you must


evaluate the process. When doing so, consider:
• The planning (was there enough of it?)
• Problem solving (how did you fix things?)
• The final presentation (did it go to plan?)
• The team (how well did you all work together?)
This project is part of the Unit 1 brief.

The podcast, and evaluation of the process, must be


submitted by: 8th October

The podcast and evaluation will be uploaded to you


wix site.
