MysterionMuffles Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I love this format. It's great to have more condensed True News to cover different topics all in one episode. Also great are the transitions between segments. Where did you get the city scape clip and the music? I like the idea of it, but not quite sure if it's the music or the clip that is out of place for some reason. I'm not too sure on what changes could be made for that, but what I think would be good is some better use of the empty space floating around Stefan. Perhaps title headings to introduce the next segment that either pops up at the beginning and fades away, or stays there throughout the whole segment. Perhaps also some pictures could help add slightly more incentive to be watching the video as opposed to just listening to the podcast. Of course nothing too distracting or ever changing, but a few photos to highlight the topic would help like with the Kaley Cuoco one, it could've helped to have a picture of her there in case of anybody not knowing who she is. Those are just a few of my thoughts, I'd like to watch the first one to see what else is new in this format.
AynRand Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I agree I love the format of the show, and I think It is very professional in how its broadcast. I hope the show gains more popularity and will spread to all area's of the internet.
Crallask Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I don't understand the transition scenes being cars moving though. Maybe they have some reasons behind it, but I think some simplistic and still image would be enough for a transition - maybe different images to mark what topic is being address. (Economics, social relations, parenting, government violence, etc)
MysterionMuffles Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 uhhh what happened to my original post? :S well whatever happened I guess I can sum up what I suggested: Add some images to emphasize the topic, for instance talking about Kaley Cuoco with a picture of her in the blank space around Stef would've helped those who aren't familiar with who she is Add title headings at the beginning of each segment to go hand in hand with the timestamps in the description The transition clip of the city and the music are a good idea, but might be better with music that is closer to the style of what the intro and outro music is like (more epic, less city rocker) Likewise, the clip of the fast forward timelapse of the city could be switched to something else using graphics more similar to intro sequence or anything else. I like it but for some reason seems to clash with the content of the show, this could just be me though This way there's a bit more reason to watch the video rather than simply sticking to the podcasts, thus generating more Youtube views. Let me know what you guys at the helm of FDR! Btw where did you guys get the city time lapse clip and the music? lol I'm almost glad my original post went missing, this is a nicer more concise way to convey what I said.
Kaki Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 The format is great! Otherwise I completely agree with RJ: Add some images to emphasize the topic, for instance talking about Kaley Cuoco with a picture of her in the blank space around Stef would've helped those who aren't familiar with who she is Add title headings at the beginning of each segment to go hand in hand with the timestamps in the description The transition clip of the city and the music are a good idea, but might be better with music that is closer to the style of what the intro and outro music is like (more epic, less city rocker) Likewise, the clip of the fast forward timelapse of the city could be switched to something else using graphics more similar to intro sequence or anything else. I like it but for some reason seems to clash with the content of the show, this could just be me though A picture on the side matching the subject would be great as well as titles for the segments. I am not a fan at all of the street and music. The music reminds me very much of 80s comedy shows. (But maybe that's just me.) The theme of traffic-time-lapse is lost on me as well. To me it feels like a very forced way to separate the segments from each other, the film styles (Stef presenting and the stock footage of cars) are so different that they don't flow into each other naturally. Maybe there is a way to use images (like RJ suggested next to Stef) to create a transition. 1
