Radio Drama Pre-Production Log


When I started the radio drama, I needed to make sure that the script didn’t have musical numbers within and if there was any I re-arranged the words, if necessary, to make sense as a spoken line for the character. This would allow more chance for the audience to gain an opinion on the character as this would also gain the interest for the audience. After I finished looking for the musical numbers, I then looked for any sound effects that would need to be made using foley. This would help the audience visualise what is happening in the scene more vividly.

 

For recording the audio, me and my crew headed to the recording studio and set up the area that we would be using. The set up included turning the mac and making sure the speakers and xlr’s were plugged in to the correct places as to be more effective in the recording. The microphone that we used was tested as soon as the rest was set up to ensure that it was working before trying the take. After we finished all necessary recordings, I transferred the audio from the mac, that we recorded on, to another ac which has the foley sounds that would be used in the radio drama.

 

Whilst in the editing software, Logic pro, I was making sure that the audio in which we recorded be fore was working as it should. The foley sounds that we had were small sounds like keys placed on a desk and a baby crying, these again would create the surroundings in which we needed. At the beginning and end I had used a fade which meant the audience don’t get shocked by the piece suddenly stopping and starting. After the editing was complete I listened to the full piece to see if any adjustments were needed.

Proposal

This is my proposal of this short production. A proposal is used to help the director the chance to gain funding. Proposal The film in which I have made this year is a mystery as there are different aspects of a mystery in the production. There is a section of the production that would help with the sense of mystery as the audience would be questioning what happened with the grandma and farther as there is not much said about them in the dialogue. The target audience for this production is 15-18-year-old as there are some aspects which may be unsuitable for younger viewers as there will be a fight scene and that might upset younger viewers. Stacey is the main character and the viewers would feel sympathy for her as she has been through tough times during the film as she has lost her grandma and her dad. This would allow the audience to connect with her. Jacob is the boyfriend of Stacey and he has a different attitude during the film as he starts as a kind person t...

The Importance Of Sound Editing

The reason why you need to edit sound within media recordings is to remove the audio sections that are unnecessary, this would allow the piece to be shortened as this could have a more positive affect to the listener as they wouldn’t have to listen to an overly long recording as they would not be as interested in the recording. The reason that the recording needs to be cleaned up is that the recording may have some background interruptions such as sounds e.g. doors opening/closing and air-conditioning units. These would have negative effects on the overall outcome of the recording as they would be distracting to the listener. An example of factual content being edited is the news as they would have some audio in an uncontrolled environment as there would be pedestrians and vehicles in the background and this would be distracting for the audience to hear what the reporter I saying. The studio is a controllable environment as they can make sure that there are no unnecessary noise di...
