Pod cast submission

Sam and I have finally handed in our pod cast. It has been a long journey with lots of ups and downs and I am relieved that we have finished. having said that, I have thoroughly enjoyed creating this pod cast and I am sad to be finishing this module. I mentioned in my last post that I will be putting up the pod cast and reference list in this post, unfortunately I cannot find a way to upload the animation as it is too big. The video was also to big to just attach it the the post, however I found that if I uploaded it to you tube first and then attached it to this blogg it worked.

Fourth meeting

Sam and I had our fourth meeting on Saturday, and we finalised all of the details on our animation. Before we even started our pod cast we had an idea to do two videos, one explaining why we were influenced by the Botanical Gardens and explaining what sustainable energy is. The second video will be based on science lessons about sustainable energy in the classroom that take an influence from the Botanical Gardens. We did not originally go with this idea as we thought we could not pull it off in the time frame we had, however, we found that we completed the first animation with plenty of time left to complete a second video. So, our pod cast will now consist of two videos which will be posted on here along with a reference list in my next post.  

Third Meeting

After much deliberation Sam and I decided to create an animation about our chosen topic sustainable development, we chose it as we though it was a creative way of putting our idea across. Originally we decided to take our influence from the Science Museum in Cardiff, however after further research we decided it would be a better idea if we took influence from our trip to the National Botanical Gardens, as they are actively seeking to develop ways of using sustainable energy. We have now completed all of our research on sustainable development and sustainable energy and created a script to be recorded and placed over the animation we have created. Sam and I are now well on our way to completing this pod cast, however I realise we may encounter some speed bumps on the way to finishing off our animation and placing the recorded dialogue on top of it. Having said that I feel confident in the work that we have done together.

Second Meeting

This was our first opportunity to actually do some work on this assignment as myself and Sam have been busy finishing off our dissertations. Now we have sat down and taken some time to consider the options open to us, we have decided to use sustainable energy as our topic to pod cast about. Our first pod cast is about what sustainable energy is and the pros and cons that come with it. now we have completed our first pod cast we will go away and think of some more ideas to record for out next meeting on 5/5/2014.

Podcast test for science assignment with Nick, Sam and myself.
