My first idea for my Final major project is to create a podcast, discussing fun, serious and trending topics. The pros of this are as follows:
- A podcast is an Accessible Medium: Podcasts are a highly accessible because they can be heard to on numerous devices. These include: Phones, tablets, and computers. Having this variety increases the chance of reaching your target audience.
- Creative Expression: Creating a podcast allows you to showcase your creative ideas. You give yourself the freedom to choose whatever topic you find relevant and important, and get to decide in what way you want to express it.
- Networking: Podcasting provides countless opportunities to connect with experts on a topic, influencers or any person you find to be an interesting character. Thus building relationships and creating life long bonds that are made through common understanding.
Some of the cons surrounding podcasting include:
- They are very time-Consuming: Producing a high-quality podcast means sacrificing a-lot of time to the smaller details, that may come across as insignificant. Time is also taken up from having to research and plan episodes and also all the editing that needs to be done at the end.
- Technical Challenges: Learning how to use audio recording and editing software can be challenging. The difficulty of this can be felt if you have limited knowledge or experience with audio production. Dealing with technical problems will be very common.
Another idea that I had was to create my own music video showcasing my musical talent. Some of pros and cons include:
- Creative Expression: Making your own music video gives you an opportunity for creative expression. Your given a chance to display your artistic vision, style, and storytelling abilities through the visuals and lyrics that complement the beat.
- Hands-On Experience: Producing a music video involves various aspects of creative media. These include: Filmmaking, directing and editing. Engaging in these tasks gives you valuable experience and allows you to harness skills that are relevant in various fields.
- Portfolio Building: A well-executed music video can serve as a valuable addition to your portfolio or resume. It demonstrates your creativity, technical abilities, and dedication to your craft, which can impress potential employers or collaborators in the future.
- Showcase Technical Skills: Producing a music video needs skill in various technical things, such as operating the cameras, lighting, and video editing. Successfully executing these tasks demonstrates your technical ability.
Some cons include
- Time-Consuming: Creating a high-quality music video can be time-consuming, especially if you lack experience. It requires heavy amounts planning that requires careful attention to detail and normally takes a lot longer than anticipated.
- Technical Challenges: Filmmaking could go very wrong if the person doing it cant chieve proper lighting or cant capture clear audio. If you’re new to filmmaking, you may encounter obstacles that require problem-solving skills and patience to overcome.
- Audience Reach: A well made music attention/ views online, however reaching a wide number of people requires good distribution and various marketing strategies. Without a strong marketing strategy, your video may struggle to gain traction beyond your immediate circle.
The final idea I considered was to create a Hot sauce game show in which two contestants go head to head against each other. Some pros and cons include:
- Entertainment Value: A spice challenge game show (if done right) has the potential to be highly entertaining for both participants and the audience. The excitement watching contestants take on spicy food challenges acts as the vessel to keeping the audience engaged and entertained throughout the show.
- Unique Concept: A spice challenge game show is a unique idea that sets my project apart from more traditional formats. The combination of food challenges and game show elements adds originality and intrigue, thus, generating interest among the audience.
- Community Building: Hosting a spice challenge game show can create a sense of community and unity among the contestants and audience. It provides an opportunity for people to unite, share experiences, and create long lasting friendships over a shared interest in food and adventure.
- Skill Development: Organizing and producing a talk show involves many vital skills, these include: Event planning, communication, teamwork, and time management. Harnessing these skills will propel me forward in my knowledge of the media industry and develop valuable skills that can be applied in both academic and professional settings.
- Safety Concerns: Spicy food challenges can include potential health risks, particularly for individuals with certain medical conditions, sensitivities or allergies. It’s imperative to prioritize the safety of those included, by ensuring that the challenges are carefully designed and monitored by a member of staff.
- Resource Requirements: Producing a high-quality show can be resource heavy, needing access to equipment, props, and people. Depending on your budget or resources, I may encounter many limitations.
