2. )The writers did keep me hooked from episode to episode was a pivotal moment, and an unusual situation, and an intriguing character, and conflict, and an antagonist, change emotion, irony, and surprise, make people wonder, dread factor and keep narrative voice compelling. Episode 2, had several locations such as Belfast is in Dubai and palm trees are in Florida. serval A wheelchair is in the bathroom. The Titanic rises. Episode 3, Heidi and Colin took a road trip. Walter asks for an explanation in episode 4.
5. )The characters remain consistent they never break out of character. from listening to first 4 episodes I knew actually who was talking. they never break out of character which is called inside acting. Walter Cruz (Oscar Isaac), therapist Heidi Bergman (Catherine Keener) and her overbearing boss Colin Belfast (David Schwimmer).The battle over the true nature of the advantage and whether their inner experiments are doing more harm than good.Their roles so far are Heidi is the employee, Colin is the boss, Walter was the patient. A lot of the tension and the drama are coming from specific interactions and ways in which power is exercised.It seems like they were doing is really focusing on the characters; letting the scenes and the conversation creates the action instead of describing the action. Some characters that didn't change from episode 2 through 4 are Heidi and Walter.
3. )Sound effects surprised me was rather than standing huddled around a microphone. Soft sound effects, such as a fish tank bubbling away in the background, and not-so-subtle ones like the noise of a busy airport, make it's more than akin to a lavish TV production than a staged radio drama.As the narrative flips back and forth from Heidi’s time as a caseworker to five years later, when she’s waitress, mystery surrounds what brought her there. it was different to me I wasn't expecting the sound effects. The sound effects actually make the podcast little more interesting. It makes you want to listen to next podcast to see what's going to happen next. Even the characters on how they don't tell too much information at one time.

Yes, you've illustrated how the writers keep us interested and moving from one episode to the next, through this combination of leaving us with cliffhangers and unanswered questions. The writers also withhold just enough info to keep us guessing. In part, they're adhering to that rule we talked about "show, don't tell..." Instead of telling us what's going on ("I can't believe I am a waitress after having left my therapy job..."), they show us Heidi waiting tables. We need a minute to figure out what's going on, but that lack of information and allowing us to discover the connections is part of what keeps the story interesting.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I liked the Maya Angelou poem you choose for your podcast. Her writing is lyrical and engaging. For the course project, see how you might play with sound effects and/or music to introduce your story.
