P4
A) Setting Up Appropriate Equipment
Full Radio Show
5 Minute Version
To record our radio show, we used a setup where we had a mixer and a mic plugged into a mac, which recorded everything, and we could make slight adjustments and play jingles on the fly. This also included a set of headphones for each team member so we could hear everything that the mic picked up, making it easier to identify mistakes and any unwanted background noises (which we could either edit out or just rerecord that segment).
To edit each segment together, I used Adobe Audition, as that allows you to fine tune certain areas. On most of the clips we recorded, I used a couple of overlapping effects to cancel out any background noise, or any strange buzzing I heard in between each speaker's lines. I could also change the volume of each clip so they're all level, and some of the vox pops and music tracks fade in and out to make the overall show more streamline and less clunky or awkward to listen to.
B) Following Running Order And Content Plan
Track 1 = jingles
Track 2 = presenter
Track 3 = news
Track 4 = transitions
Track 5 = local story
Track 6 = music
My edited show and the original scheduling have some differences to make the show fit within the time limit easier, and still contain everything we need. I've cut down the amount of songs in the show to three, as well as removing some of the unneeded jingles/sweepers in between otherwise there'd be too many. I also don't have the presenter at the end of the show, instead it just finishes with a jingle.
C) Following Safe Working Practises
Our radio show didn't require any safety requirements regarding shooting or filming, so we didn't follow any of those exactly. When recording, we had to make sure that all of the wires for our equipment were out of the way so no one tripped or got hurt whilst moving round the room, as we had cords for every piece of equipment we used. All of our equipment had been checked before recording, and we made sure there were no liquids near them that could cause faults or electrical problems when/if spilled. Our radio show and stories include very little mention of distressing matters, so people are unlikely to experience trauma or PTSD when listening, but one of our topics does have a slight warning just in case.
D) Following Production Processes
In my team, I was the broadcast journalist and was in charge of researching and presenting the local stories for the show. I contributed a few ideas for jingles for the show and helped with some assets for our group presentation, and recorded all segments of my show once my script had been checked and finalised by the rest of the team.
Production Diary:
30/04/18 - As of today, I've already done the contingency plan, some ideas for jingles, and some other small parts of P3. Currently working on the script for the package section which I've already shared with the team if they wish to edit it.
02/05/18 - We presented our powerpoint to other teams in order to get feedback
09/05/10 - I finished off the package team script by adding and refining a couple stories
14/05/18 - I recorded the package script ready for editing, including vox pops
16/05/18 - I finished off editing together the script and vox pops for both stories
24/05/18 - We invited our guest in and recorded all of our show with him in, including other bits, and started editing
12/06/18 - I have finished editing/exporting both my 5 minute cut and my full show, they're both up and ready for presenting
