Kris' Podcast - J.K. Rowling

While I have to say that some of the production value was more questionable, the creativity and humour used were great!

From the very beginning he lured us in with a little bit of fun, him and dylan dancing and wearing funny costumes to entertain us. From that point on Kris creatively used video clips of himself and of J.K. Rowling to comedic effect. (There's nothing wrong with adults writing kids books though! Who else is going to write them? :P) Through also using music in effective ways in the background and during his original piece he really made an interesting media college to represent J.K. Rowling and her work. The sheer uniqueness of this podcast is what really set it apart from the rest of the podcast in terms of enjoyability.

He also used honesty in that he wasn't sure how effective certain parts of his podcast were, however I felt most of his techniques were effective despite his uncertainty.

I also enjoyed the ending as it was a cute way to finish things off with a well known video of the 'Potter Puppet Pals'. Very cute!!

Overall this video was just a lot of fun to watch, and seemed like it must've been just as enjoyable to tape with a friend. Good job Kris!
