Why do you Dress?

Podcast Subject
Have you ever wondered why some people choose to wear the clothing they wear? Is it for style, comfort, are they supporting a cause or just their favorite band?

Through this podcast, I want to find out why people choose their outfits. Do they have an "image" they want others to see them as? Is it for comfort? Or do their mothers buy their clothes for them because they just don't care what they wear?

Interviews
Everyone dresses differently and this podcast will explore why and how people decide what to wear for an average day. To help find my answers, I will interview fashion majors at High Point University like Haley Bossart, who runs 'On Point,' High Point University's Fashion and Lifestyle Magazine.  I will also interview a few other people who don't care about fashion or trends. For an expert opinion I will interview an expert in fashion, Professor Brown who teaches fashion classes at HPU.

Music Selection
Some song I have chosen to feature in this podcast are:



I chose these songs because they are upbeat and make the listener excited to hear an interesting topic.

Sound Effects
I recorded myself flipping through clothes in my closet and uploaded it in Audition, I edited out some quiet spots then saved it and uploaded it to Soundcloud.



I'm not sure if a listener would be able to tell by the audio what the sound is, that's my only worry. If anyone has any other suggestions on sounds I can embed in my podcast, please let me know!

Check back in soon to see my progression!

First Podcast: Do our outfits impact our days?

The Interview
Whether people realize it or not, everyone has deciding factors that influence what we do or do not choose to wear on a day to day basis. This has always been something I have been interested in but have never asked. I decided to do my project on why people choose to dress the way that they do, everyone has different deciding factors, so why not ask?

Process
My roommate, Jaclyn Scott, has always been someone I have looked up to in terms of fashion. So, naturally, she was the first person I wanted to interview on this topic. First, I tested the audio I recorded with my phone. Then, she and I sat down on her bed while I asked her questions. I then went through her responses on my computer and edited the audio footage. I then recorded my introduction and reflections and edited it all together smoothly to make the 5 minutes of audio I had into 1 minute.

Next Time
I will be more precise with the questions I ask during the interview so the answers will be more precise as well. This way I won't have as much audio to go through when editing. I would also like to potentially add music or background noises to my audio piece.
