Embedded Files
Your challenge is to create a 3–5 minute narrative podcast — a movie for your ears!
Without using images to tell your story, you'll rely on voices, sound effects, ambience, music and silence to create a world your audience can imagine. Use any genre: mystery, comedy, horror story, science-fiction adventure, satire, or experimental narrative.
Think like a filmmaker. How can you establish a location, introduce characters, communicate action, build suspense or create emotion using only sound design? Working independently or in a small group, you'll brainstorm, pitch, script, record, create original sounds and edit your podcast using Adobe Premiere Pro.
