Hearing all the amazing history caught my attention in such a strong way that mad me want to know more about the Cathedral of St. Stephen’s. The Rick Steves Walking Tour of the Vienna’s Cathedral of St. Stephen’s was outstanding and interesting. I had a very pleasure experience. I would definitely recommend it because of the strong criteria’s that the tour follows such as the introduction, sound, and conclusion. I knew from the beginning that I was going to enjoy the tour. The narrator started to tour with a really well done introduction, what made me decide if was going to listen to the tour or …show more content…
The voice of the narrator can determinate the mood of the podcast. The narrator should have a moderate vocabulary, were the audience can have complete compression of the speech. The speed of the voice should also be moderate. If the narrator speaks to slow the audience may get bored and lose attention, and if he speak to fast they may lose track and get confused. The narrator voice should have the correct tone, this way he will have an effective response from the audience. Not only the voice of the narrator is important, the background music and sounds make an extremely difference when hearing a podcast. While I was listening to the walking tour of Cathedral of St. Stephen’s I was able to listen to Vienna’s typical music, the music that used to be play inside of the Cathedral, such as religious music and music of the years that the Cathedral was mad. The sound and music are very helpful to create an imagery, and to relate to what the narrator is talking about. While listen to the music the audience can have a better understanding of the place, and having a more vivid experience. The walking tour of Cathedral of St. Stephen’s did this very well, providing imageries in my head, the voice of the narrator caught my attention during the entire tour and I as able to understand each word he
From the outside of the cathedral, I could see the scaffolding since it was going under construction. Even though the cathedral is beautiful on the inside, the outside does not do it justice. Approaching the cathedral, it is
This essay discusses the collaborative approach to their work with a focus on concept, media, techniques and processes.
From the very first paragraph of the narrative, I noticed that there were several details that the narrator mentioned that required further, deeper thought. For me, this is what made the story appealing.
As legend has it, the builders of St. Basil’s Cathedral were blinded by the command of Ivan the Terrible, so they could never create a building greater. There is still the question if St. Basil’s is actually the most beautiful cathedral made in its time. Comparing it to the beautiful Pisa Cathedral and Assumption Cathedral, which were made around the same time, one could find it hard to decide which is the most artistic. Looking at the materials, art, and icons of cathedrals are ways to gauge how beautiful the building is. St. Basil’s Cathedral was the most beautiful cathedral made in its time.
From the very first moment when entering the cathedral one is likely to be struck by the silence dominating the massive interior. In spite of the somewhat annoying number of curious tourists (others probably saw my curiosity just as annoying as the noise), the church manages to maintain its quiet and peaceful nature. This is truly remarkable, taking into account that it is constantly filled with tourists through visiting hours.
This means that you only have a certain amount of time to tell a cohesive story. Basically, by the end of the episode, you need to have drawn some sort of conclusion from your original subject. This narrative is as important as chapters are to the organization of a book. To make the narrative have flow effectively, you need to link quotes from interviews together with narration. Transitions between concepts can be done most effectively via well written narration or background music. The narration is most efficient if it either summarize or adds insight to ideas, and the music is most effective if it sets the emotional tone of the upcoming discussion. Both the interviews, like the narrative, must progress the story. For example, in the “This American Life” episode “Switched at Birth”, the podcast first discusses the experiences of the two women who were switched at birth, and then the experiences of the mothers whose daughters were switched. The interviews built on each other. The audience doesn’t want to learn about the experiences of auxiliary characters before hearing from the protagonist; it just doesn’t doesn’t logically
My first concert experience turned out to be very different from what I expected. Even though I would not choose to listen to classical music normally, the concert has made me enjoy this type of music more and made me think about how much more there is to music than just lyrics and a
Both of these cathedrals are representations of the Catholic faith and the cathedrals were renown in their societies. The have been many structural grievances over the years. The meaning and value have been carried on as well.
Another aspect of sound in this film was how it affected the story. By using sound dramatically in certain parts and not using it at all in other parts, sound gave this story an entity of its own. For example, during long stretches of film with mostly dialogue, there was no music played in the background, only a phone ringing in the distance, or the men's voices during their deliberation. These long silences also took place during editing shots of the town and images that surrounded this German city. This dramatic difference in sound was a revelation of how mood can be made by images and sound put together to make an incredible component.
To begin, I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Going into it I didn’t expect it to be as entertaining as it was.

Chartres Cathedral is one of the most significant achievements of all the historical architecture. Additionally, it is entirely preserved with its original details. The unique features of the cathedral are intact, and thus when one visits the place, he or she is likely to encounter the authentic architecture work as it was done many years ago. Chartres Cathedral symbolizes an atmosphere of awe and holiness (Katzenellenbogen, 2). As such, it was built for religious purposes. However, it attracts the nonbelievers as well. As a holy building, it has many glass windows to light the building. Due to its height, a double flying buttresses is used to support the high nave. The cathedral was the first building in history that used buttresses since it was considered as necessary for the peoples’ culture and as a sign of authority. It was built to reflect a symbol of power since the religious leaders engaged in politics too. The cathedral has many statuses that represent the Biblical aspects such as Elijah, Isaiah, John the Baptist, Jeremiah, and Simeon (Katzenellenbogen, 9). The standings portray the Christian faith that was used by the architectures while building the cathedral. The interior floor stands thirty-six meters high and is one hundred and twenty-eight meters wide. The sizes show how vital it is and it can host many peoples who visit for religious functions.
This mountainous structure is seen from about every point of Paris and beyond. From the front, you can see two towers jutting out of an ordinary street. The Cathedral also features large stained glass windows, that are one of the most beautiful features of the structures. From the side, you can see the long body of the Cathedral and the spire sticking out of the top. It is somewhat overwhelming being within feet of the structure, because of the immense height and width of the church. Looking at the back, one can clearly see the dome-like structures attaching to the organ room. From the outside, you can clearly see the sculptures depicting the scenes from the Catholic religion. The cathedral is gigantic, but it is easy to process all the sections because of the distinct styles of architecture. From an
All over the world, people still come to admire the beauty of European cathedrals. Many of the cathedrals are fragile due to age, neglect, pollution, and insufficient funds available to restore these historical and magnificent buildings. Nevertheless, visitors to these architectural masterpieces are fascinated by the design and structure of these churches. The cathedral builders using their own ingenuity, expertise, and limited resources were able to defy the laws of gravity and time. (Icher 30)
