production journey

 production journey  first we created the necessary documents that would be needed for the radio drama, we then started production by recording the lines for all of the voice actors which did take a fair amount of time to get done due to both the extensive amount of lines that needed to be recorded and the fact that one of our members did not turn up consistently this meant that the rest of us had to wait for him to turn up which resulted in time being wasted when it could be used to complete the recordings to then move onto the next areas of the radio drama that would need to be done.  Once we were able to have all of the recordings completed we then  moved onto recording sounds that would be needed to create a sense of atmosphere based on the events that would take place in terms of the main character ( Johnny) and how social media had a negative impact on his mental health and attitude to his everyday life as well as his life in school, these sounds included the n...

storage, compression and size vs quality

 storage   storage is described as the recording of information in a storage medium. flash drive - A flash drive is a electronic device that contains flash memory which is used to store data or transfer it to or from a computer. hard drive -  An electro-mechanical data storage device which stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage with one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material. solid state drive -  a solid- state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies to store data persistently. cloud- the on-demand availability of computer system , especially data storage and computing power without direct active management by the user. compression DRC- Dynamic range compression balances the range between the loudest and quietist sounds and this function can be used to enjoy Dolby digital sound when watching movies at low volume. Downward compression- reduces the volume of loud sounds above a certain threshold.  upw...

analysis of feedback

 The feedback that was given based on our radio drama told us about what was done well for the radio drama and what needed improving this mainly included the audio not being clear enough due to the excessive use of background music , the message also seems to be understood by those who have been listening to it and giving their feedback on the radio drama. Based on the feedback the areas that could be improved upon mainly regards to the message being portrayed for audiences to be able to have a better understanding of the message being given to them from the radio drama however there are bits that unfortunately not be worked on this mainly being in response to the interference of the background limiting the overall success of the message being delivered to the audience.  

considerations for sounding Recording

 sound formats WAV- a lossless uncompressed format and high quality, making it suitable for video and music production purposes. WAV does not require any complicated encoding or decoding which means that the use of WAV does not cause delays while encoding and decoding audio. However as it is an uncompressed format which means that it will consume more storage space. AIFF- An apple proprietary format and lossless, its also a lossless file type because it directly copies the original audio source. AIFF files are not compressed therefore computers or playback devices  do not have to do any other compressions and AIFF uncompressed tracks do also tend to sound better. On the other hand they do tend to take up quite a significant amount of storage space this being around double the amount the Apple lossless takes up. FLAC - A compressed, lossless format and takes up a lot less space than a WAV or AIFF which makes it an extremely popular lossless format as it open source. The main ad...

  The first suitable location that we are going to use for the radio project is Chadwell Heath Academy where a majority of what is needed for the radio programme can be easily recorded and acquired. Here we would be able to record most of the sounds that are required as the location offers a case where most of the scenarios can be recorded here due to the different rooms which have varying levels of suitability for radio programme. The only sounds that would not be recorded here are for the scenario where the main character is hanging out with their friends due to the fact of the unsuitable environment for the image that is trying to be created regardless it is still very suitable a as means of  most of the needed recordings done for the radio programme. This location is also suitable for the recording of the radio programme as this location is where all the necessary equipment is kept for the recording and the editing of the audio that is collected for the radio programme whi...

evaluation

 Based on the responses that were given, they seem to all have an understanding of the message that was being portrayed which shows that the dialogue of the characters was good so this means that there is not any adjustments that have to be made to the script which means that the script has exceeded the idea of the audience being able to understand the message that is being given to the viewers, this allows us to be able to focus on other aspects that may need improvement. The improvements that have to be made to the radio is mainly regarding the audio of the radio itself this is due to the unwanted background noise limiting the success of the radio which seems to be the most common problem with the radio that is viewed by the respondents and is something that will need to be fixed, another improvement is that it was too long for the viewers which affects their view of how well the radio did and their views on it. the respondents also felt that it lacked in other areas such as the ...

legal and ethical grid

  Constraint Describe the details of constraint Explain how the   constraint will directly impact on your work voice artist release forms- Clearances and permissions A talent release form is  a simple legal document that is designed to prevent you from getting sued for the  unauthorised  use of someone's image or voice     this will impact us as it mean that we will need to create a voice release form and give it to are voice actors before we start recording. PPL PPL is a licences radio station, TV broadcast  and certain digital media services to play recorded music in the UK as part of their programming. This mean that they are the one that allow for rights-holders to be able to play their music in public.
