Task 1 Pre-production (Podcast)

Real ones podcast with Jon Bernthal. His podcast all about talking with other celebrities. They talk about experiences in the film industry and how it had affected them positively and negatively. He is an American actor who is best known for his roles in ‘The walking dead’ (2010) and Marvel’s ‘The Punisher’ (2017). He interviews actors among other celebrities and sometimes, close family and friends.

His target audience (in my opinion) is mainly for over 18 people. He dives into important, sensitive topics with the guests eh invites to the show. He is a public figure, which helps his podcast reach out to a wide range of people across the globe. He puts all his podcasts on youtube and posts small clips on his instagram so it reaches even more people.

The format of this podcast is videos filmed to be put on youtube. He films in landscape so that the camera can capture both him and his co-star on the show. You can see the area around him, the background and his microphone.

The tone of this show is dark, and the things they talk about can be sensitive. But this podcast is important for people who want and insight on what it’s like to be an actor/actress.

His podcast has gotten a lot of reviews and opinions from people. All reviews i’ve seen have been positive and praise him for having a good, quality podcast. From chartable.com, a listener from apple podcasts says, ‘literally the only podcast i determine is worth a listen’. The podcast was released earlier this year and there are nothing but good comments under his videos.

Real ones – Jon Bernthal

Anything goes by Emma Chamberlain. She is an online content creator who usually does vlogs about her daily life and travel. She talks about life, grief, boredom, anger and more. Her target audience is mainly 18 and upwards (image of these statistics below). Her talks are usually light and about her everyday life. She talks to us and she describes it as if she’s having a conversation with us. She occasionally has a guest on the podcast, but it’s mostly just her on her own.

Emma has a lot of media exposure and she has been doing this for years. Before she released a podcast she filmed herself living her life. She only records her voice, and doesn’t film herself. She posts her podcasts on the platform Spotify and the apple app, ‘podcasts’. She has a logo for her podcast so it is easily recognised by other people.

She started making youtube videos years ago where her target audience was mainly 15+ teenagers. Now that she’s grown up her content has matured and the podcast is good for people who are growing up. It’s good for people who need help getting older, as she gives life advice, how to deal with certain situations and daily life hacks. As a fan, i have been watching for years and her podcast is perfect for people who have been watching since they were younger and are growing up.

Her content has changed over the years going from daily videos uploaded to podcasts being released every week. Her audience is mainly female, and between the ages of 18-24, according to the stat-social insights website.

More than half of her viewers are female and gets more views from people aged 18-24.

SCRIPT – (Ideas)

  • Introduce ourselves to our listeners
  • Talk about what the podcast is going to be about
  • Talk about episodes, behind the scenes what the series is about.
  • Also talk about actors and returning characters.
  • Intro and outro will be the Daredevil intro theme song.

Primary research

I asked classmates if they would listen to a podcast like this. Many people in class are marvel fans and this would be a podcast they would be interested in. I had a conversation to my guest talker and since she’s a marvel fan she liked all aspects of my podcasts. She says she likes the conversations about the future projects and when we talked about main features of the storyline.

With secondary research, there are many articles for example from the Washington post. I have quoted them on my podcast and they are in my script. Because marvel is so global and for all ages, that also applies for Daredevil.

Podcast Production Proposal

A proposal is a document that presents the idea of your podcast before writing the script. Proposals are often written in present tense, in a narrative-like prose, and highlight the most important information about your podcast, including name, theme, content and potential guests. Proposals are often used in the initial stages of idea generation and will be used to support a pitch and sell your podcast idea to producers or production members.

This document should aim to be between 500-800 words in length. Add in links, found imagery, and other media to support your ideas.

Title (can be a working title)
JSS (Just survive somehow, an important part of the show)  
Summary (What is your podcast about? How long will it be? Where will it be listened to?)
The podcast will be about the walking deadIt will be approximately 10 minutes longIt will be on You tube so everyone can listen to it easilyThe target audience will be people aged 15 and upwards since the age rating is also that age

People aged 15 and upwards.
They would listen to this when they have finished the show or certain episodes
Through my research I have found out that people enjoy films and Tv shows the most, this makes my podcast more likely to be listened to by the people who enjoy these genres.    
This podcast is also for all genders and for special considerations we would make disclaimers at the start of our podcast saying that we will be talking about certain episodes and that there will be spoilers (or certain seasons).
Podcast format (one-to-one, solo-commentary, panel, fiction, non-fiction etc).
One-to-one
Fiction

Anything goes (based on format, style and tone)
