Production Report 8a

Okay, here we go. I now have raw content but I am not entirely sure what to do with it.

I interviewed Ned, a medical student at U of A.
I asked him "Are we [pre-medicine students] being prepared for writing in the medical field?". I really liked his answer, but I am not sure how to incorporate it or this question into my final project.

This is the content outline:

• With all those examples aside, it is evident that writing is a big deal in medicine. Just not in the way we typically see writing. In the medical field, it is supposed to be condensed, logical and straightforward. So I asked my Dr. Cohen and Ned if they thought pre-med undergraduates are being adequately prepared for writing in the medical field.
• At the U of A, physiology majors are required to take a freshman level English course and an upper division English course sometime before graduation. Medical schools typically ask for this.
• Ned said *insert segment*

This is the raw footage (adaptation of content).


How did you decide to use form to present your content? How did the conventions influence your choices?

• I want to make the podcast sound as real as possible, so I want to be the host but have segments where my interviewees are providing their input, which will add variety and make the podcast more interesting. 
• The conventions of a podcast immediately led me to think of this project as a talk show kind of thing. So I know I need to have a lively tone and be detailed but not overwhelming.

How did production go? What challenges occurred during process?

• Production was generally easy!
• Pre-production kind of reduced me to a stressed out puddle. 
• After I learned how to record and convert files, the process seems much easier.
• The interviews were fun so I have a lot of content to work with. Hopefully I will find a smart way to piece everything together.
