Production Journey

As the image shows above, we began by I first began by creating an empty project on garage band to start recording our Radio drama as this allows us to alter and improve the audio tracks as we went along. We then created separate tracks for each sound such as Ashley and Sophie, presenters and fans as this would be easier to overlap sounds when editing.

We printed off our script that we had written during pre-production as this was easier to read directly off when recording our Radio Drama. We recorded the dialogue with a USB Microphone as it made the Drama of better quality and this will also be recorded directly on to the project. After we record all the characters we saved and uploaded this to YouTube as our offline edit.

We then started making improvements to our edit by using the feedback we gained from our offline edit, after we made all the changes and alterations, we started recording all our sound effects, jingles and Foley sounds using an Audio Microphone as this was portable which allowed us to take it anywhere to record sounds. We began by recording our Foley sounds as it will allow our audience to identify the location of the characters. Simran recorded the sound of a train passing by ,I recorded the bus engine and the passengers then we both recorded the iPhone ringtone and notifications on the USB microphone at school. We also imported all the Foley sounds from the voice recorder to our editing software to begin adding them to each scene.

We then tried to find copyright free music that would be suitable for our radio drama and this would be played during every pause in the drama. We found copyright free music on YouTube which we imported on YouTube converter and changed it into a MP3 audio file and then imported it on to YouTube.  

We also made a jingle that would inform the audience about the radio stati0on they’re listening to and included a voiceover on it saying “Chadwell heath radio station” which we added in the beginning of our drama.

 

We then used pitch correction to adjust the sounds and dialogue as some sounds/dialogue were quitter than others so we used the tool to make it all the same.

Then after we completed editing, we imported into iTunes was then uploaded on to final cut pro and added a photo that would be shown while the drama was being played. Finally we uploaded it to YouTube
