Podcasting
How do I podcast?
Well it's EASY!
Simply create a still graphic that simply states your year, what the name of your film is, your name and then the words PODCAST EVALUATION. This type of graphic can easily be made in photoshop as as Widescreen image or within Adobe Premiere Pro / Final Cut Pro. There is even this template you can use on the Year 13 student gateway!!!
Then bring your audio into an edit package, add this still on the video layer and put the audio on the audio layer (you may need to extend the image so it encompasses all of your audio) and then export it as a piece of video and add it to YouTube the usual way. You can then add this to your blog using the "Insert a Video" tab.
Each of you need to add this to your blog!
