U16 radio gossip hub clip

 This meets the brief for unit 16 as i have layered my radio show with sounds and voice overs and you can hear these sound effects from the beginning of my radio show around 0:30 to 1:00 there are school bells ringing and chatter in my radio other than just a normal dialogue, this was included so that my radio show looked and sounds realistic.

what I lead on my side and how I liaised with my partner

 So for our radio Nik helped me record the whole thing using garage band and a microphone even though it took a lot of re takes we both managed to record it. He helped me edit the last couple of minutes of our radio as I added the music and cut out the bloopers of our radio. After we had edited the first draft we realised that more editing needed to be done so what I did again was write an extra script for our radio as it was too short and it didn’t really have a story line to it. 

 

Alongside this we both had voiceovers and he helped me with my parts. Our dialog was mixed between us but mostly on my part because I had more speaking to do and we needed an extra person to be a girl on our radio but no one was free so I just got Nik to pretend to be a girl and do his voice over for certain parts of our radio which was mostly towards the end.

 

When it came to exporting our video Nik helped me put it onto my YouTube  channel as I didn’t know how to save it from garage band and put it onto final cut pro, so he saved it all and uploaded it for me. We both took equal acts on this  radio so none of us were doing more than the other which was really helpful for us. 

who did what

 

Me and Nik have split up all the pre- production tasks between us so we could both have equal amounts of work to create our radio program. However, as I worked with Nik we both equally decided that we should split the work up and as shown below the tasks that are highlighted I was responsible for and the tasks that are not highlighted were all niks task that he did and we evenly gave eachother tasks so no one has more or less than the other.

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

SWOT Analysis for final radio drama

 

feedback

here on our feedback we have a mix of different opinions on our radio, Kayla said that the radio show was interesting as it would open minds for people who have no idea about this topic and that they can learn about what happens in society and that it really does affect people. Ben also agreed with Kayla and said that it felt very depressing because it happened to someone in real life that he knew.

we then went ahead and asked them about the strength and weaknesses and ben said that we gave it a platform so that it can be spoken about and realise that it can be spoken about. Kayla said that didn't raise much of an awareness so what we could have done is had a message in the beginning or the end of nicks voice over but unfortunately we do not have enough time and he has gone on holiday so instead I will try my best to find another person similarly to fill in the ending voiceover or just find someone who can help with this. she also said that the storyline was understood well and that we have tried o raise an awareness but we just need to do a little bit more so we can improve this by making the message more clear.

we asked them about what audience and what age group they think this would fit into and ben said its for everyone who goes through these issues like families and children as well as teenagers and Kayla said they're for young adults, adolescents and teenagers of this generation as most of us are on social media and can easily get influenced an effects the generation. 

the improvements that they gave us was that we should work on the aim of our radio nd speak about it but unfortunately this is a two people job speak about it so unfortunately I will have to try and find a replacement. 

overall Ben and Kayla both said it was a good radio and hat they would listen to it again as it had some drama in it which was the girl who took her own life because of bullying so the message for that was we was trying to raise awareness about how this stuff actually effects people around all sorts of types homes and that we should not always be rude to other people especially the ones we don't know as we have no idea hat is going on in their lives.  

what we also need to do is add copyright music and that we need to add some effects in the back so that it sounds more like a radio drama as we have a good introduction to open our show.

RELEASE FORMS

 

legal and ethics grid

Constraints	Describe details	Explain the impact
Voice artist release forms	if we are going to be using the voice of our actors we will need to get their permission where they have said that they allow us to use them and they will do this by signing a release form ,this allows them to have the right to let their voices be recorded, published and edited. This will only be used for our purposes.	If we do not get the release forms signed by the voice actors and we just use them then we could face a lawsuit as we do not have any physical evidence that the actors have agreed to participate.
PPL	PPL stands for “ public performance licensing” and what this is in order to make sure that we can play music in our radio we will need legal permission from the copyright holders so that we can use it in our radio. This also means that we cant let people listen to our radio unless we have this copyright form.	As we have full control over the sounds we include in our radio we will need to make sure that they get registered by the public performing license and there will be a cost that we will nee to pay as it is our radio drama which will go public for people to hear. We will need this especially if we have copy right music.
PRS	“performing rights society” this will allow us to play any type of music in our radio.	Without this we are not allowed to make our radio drama public unless the fee gets paid.
Royalties	If we want to use music that comes from another artist we will need to give them some sort of royalty, receiving royalties means that the artist will get a little amount of money for letting us use their music and this also includes us being allowed to play their songs publicly.	Playing sounds that belong to another artist without paying is not good because they need a bit of credit especially as they have created this music , however this may be  an issue as we only have a small budget.
Copyright	Having copyright music or sounds will keep the music away from being copied and allowing others to use it. Without the artists permission we could get fined and not allowed to continue with our radio.	When we have background music it may be hard for our radio drama as we need to get permission that we are allowed to use their products or else we need to find copyright free music.
Offensive content	We will not be putting any offensive content on our radio as people can get offended and we may lose our listeners and may end up getting a lot of hate.	We will need to clear out any offensive content that could be on our radio as we all do not want to receive hurtful or threatening messages.
Slander	Keeping up offensive content on our radio can create a lot of offense to the listeners and we can also lose listeners and get a lot of hate.	Clearing any bad language in our radio and violent messages as we do not want to experience any threatening messages.
Defamation	This is also similar to slander as making fake statements that is not true could ruin our productions reputation and we could all have a bad image upon us.	This can cause a slander if we start to tell lies in our radio drama or about any of the celebrities that are mentioned in our radio as people will believe it and we could lose all listeners.
Representation	Representation is how social media shows us to the world and how it will either impact the people around us or the society.	In our radio we talk about celebrities and their daily life drama that has been on social media. The radio drama represents how to inform the listeners and allows them to keep up with celeb drama.
