What we did?

After attend all three of the trips we decided to focus on extinction as it was something that interested us both and we thought was presented very well in both the National museum of Cardiff and the Botanical Gardens of Wales. We thought that for our podcast we would produce a documentary, using videos and pictures with our voice over the top.

We began by conducting our research and found a vast amount of information about extinction not only from our visits but also from books and the internet. It was then necessary to produce a script so that we were able to know what needed to be said and ensure that we covered all areas we had researched. We were both well accustomed with audacity so believed this to be the best way of recording our voices. The programed allowed us to edit it which meant that when we messed up our lines (which happened a lot), we were able to go back and tidy it up. When this was completed we decided to use movie maker to create our documentary as we had previously used it for another assignment. Through youtube we were able to pick videos that we thought would best suit our podcast and windows movie maker allowed us to edit then so that we could choose what clips we wanted where.

The only problem we found was that when we tried to open the video at home it did not work, however we were able to resolve this issue and luckily the podcast worked. Overall I enjoyed this assignment, it was very fiddly which I found irritating but we were very proud of our overall project and because I am very enthusiastic about animals I enjoyed the topic we choose.
