How to use blogs to do research
How to use blogs to do research
Subscribe to blogs and Twitter feeds, and Pinterest etc on topics that interest you
Work out how to read them
Then … blog about what you’ve found out.
I set aside time to do this every week: for me, Monday is social media day. I make myself publish 4 blogs entries every Monday. It takes about 2 hours.
This isn’t just for school work, it’s for hobbies too
Your social media strategy
Active listening:
Use of sound effects
Use of atmosphere
Use of music
Voice-overs
Mixing interviewees together
Pacing – how fast / slow is it? How long does the music, atmos, etc last? (time it)
Audio documentaries
With your own doco, I’m not expecting you to do much of this, however even just a little bit can be very effective. Makes it much more interesting to listen to, and can help support your story.
Putting in sound effects, music, etc, is important in video work too
Audio documentaries
Using the voice memo function on your phone
Using a Zoom or similar
Recording a Skype interview
Recording a phone call to the Zoom
