Week 5: Topic Refinement [Carly Oakman, W14]

I think that being able to focus on the pitch helped me to refine my partner and I's topic because it forced us to consider what we thought was important to discuss in the podcast and decide which details would be more engaging. It helped that both the pitch and the actual podcast are oral, and need to keep the audience's attention from beginning to end. That being said, I think the pitch exercise is an excellent tool for future writing assignments as well, as it helps to give feedback about the ideas being presented and whether or not the idea is a good one and should be continued in the rest of the assignment.

Our refined show idea includes exploring not only the ethics behind the responsibility of youtube users and the videos that they post, but the legality behind it as well. It is important, we feel, to know the specifics behind what youtube expects from its users as a company as well as what audiences expect. With such a large potential audience, this is extremely important in managing what videos are able to include in order to please their audiences.
