Dylan's Podcast - Stephen King

Dylan's Podcast was very effective. The eerie tone of Stephen King was established immediately. As a project that is heavily reliant on voice, Dylan definitely used his voice to capture the interest of the viewer. It was clear and concise, which allowed the listener to easily follow what was being said. The influences and stylistic elements were clearly addressed. Dylan also had a good flow to his speaking - which, mixed with humor and a dramatic tone - contributed to a very entertaining Podcast. This tone was also enforced with the use of music, quietly playing in the background.

This contrast between Dylan's humour and Stephen's dark and eeriness worked surprisingly well together. The interest of the viewer was easily maintained. Accompanying the audio was the effective use of visuals. These images enforced what was being said. (And as a side note, Stephen King is kind of a creeper).

The only thing I can think of to criticise is the fact that 'Stephen kept his rejection slips,' was repeated multiple times throughout the Podcast. However, this repetition also enforces the idea, and its importance to King's writing.

Lastly, I have to address the original piece. It was presented very creatively. It was also clearly introduced, so that the reader could easily follow what was going on. Dylan clearly stated just how his original piece was an effective imitation of King's writing. He also incorporated images, sound effects and music that enforced the creepy tone. The use of voice was again put into play, as each character was given a different voice.

And to those who have seen the Podcast understand how I will now never look at Kermit the Frog the same way again.

All in all, the Podcast was very effective at conveying the appropriate information and maintaining the viewer's interest.
