To begin my research; before even making one about Hepburn; I have decided to explore the primary field of my project; which is video podcast. I have never done one before so I felt the need to research in depth and learn about; how video podcast are being made. A useful example of video podcasts are being made by the YouTube channel called ‘Be Kind Rewind’; the woman of this channel remains anonymous; so she posts videos under that nickname. The video that helped me understand how the video podcast should be made was titled ‘How Ingrid Bergman Became Hollywood's Exile’ (Be Kind Rewind, 2020).
In a video about Ingrid Bergman the author first explained; who Ingrid Bergman was; her childhood, first step in acting career and how she had developed to be known as one of the greatest female actors back then. It really made me realize that before even telling my audience about Katharine’s achievements; first; I should present to them her history; how she became influential in the first place; by skipping such information; I could possibly make my audience confused; because not everyone is familiar with her and her work. So the introduction to KH is truly essential to understand the aim of my project; which are her achievements.
Nextly while watching that video podcast; I found out that the author put lots of work into visuals; they were carefully picked by the author and put well together into one piece. While she was speaking the clips of the films starring Ingrid Bergman were shown in the background; it made that podcast very interesting; not only the viewer was focusing on the information being said by the author; but also on visuals; that kept the audience entertained and interested; visuals makes the audience enjoy your work more.
Visual background was not the only thing included in that video podcast; other than that; she used fragments from interview as a part of her ‘script’; instead of quoting the actor; she used her own words by showing the audience fragment of her interview; I thought that it was very interesting way of showing the audience the person she was talking about; it created sort of a friendly bound between the viewers and actor; they were able to hear her voice instead of classical quotation; I would use the same technique in my own video podcast.
