Production Journey

 when me and Nik recorded our radio drama dialogue we had to take a bit of time to record all our dialogue because me and Nik haven't really used our voice to speak in a radio drama so this was our first time and we would end up complaining about each other or end up laughing and making mistakes so that's why it took us a very long time. however we managed it in the end with a bit more complaining about each other to each other which was actually really funny to us. once we got all our recordings finally finished we had to separate our mistakes that we called our bloopers and we still kept them but in a different area. for the narration parts that me and Nik had to take turns doing I had to change the tone of my voice and I had to be more straight forward and upfront. what we also did was when we were speaking you would hear the noise of us pressing the space bar or clicking of the mouse when we started and stopped recording so for that we had to also sit and cut the parts out so that it ran smoothly when we put all he recordings together.

After recording our draft we had to get audience feedback and they listened to our radio and would give us some feedback comments on what we could improve on and what they liked about it. They told us we needed to make our voices a bit clearer and have our voices stay at the same pitch as sometimes we would stop recording and when we started we would sound completely different , we also had to retake a couple of clips as there was too much background noise.

After all of that we tried to improvise and make up more of our story as it was too short and we needed it to be longer, we added a part where she has had enough and she wanted to end her life so we added that scene and that made our video go past just about 5 minutes. we created the sound effects with what we had around us as well as using the foley sounds that we have  created in the past. with the souds we created we also had to use back ground music to introduce our radio show and an ending to finish it off.

then we added Khairun to be one of the mean girls that were bullying the girl so she played the character of the bully and was being really mean and saying horrible things to her which made my  character want to end her life.After we put all the recordings together and edited them, we then went to the final cut pro and imported the recordings there. We added a picture from google and put the title " THE GOSSIP HUB"

Size VS Quality

 Lossy 

Lossy file compression results in lost data and quality from the original version. Lossy compression is typically associated with image files, such as JPEGs, but can also be used for audio files, like MP3s or AAC files.

Lossless 

Lossless file refers to a type of compressed digital audio file that uses advantaged data compression algorithms so that the audio track doesn't "lose" any detail in the compression process.

Bit rate 

bitrate defines the amount of data that is stored in the sound file you are listening to it also indicates the amount of data that is processed or delivered over a certain time span

File size

File size measures the size of a computer file and is typically measured in bytes with a prefix. The smallest unit in computers is bit and comes from binary digit
