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.
