1. Production Reflection
Benjamin Wincup

2. Process
• At the start of
doing my project, I
used Premier Pro
to edit my audio,
however, it didn’t
work properly, so I
ended up using
Adobe Audition.

3. Process
• Once I was in Adobe
Audition, I had no
idea what I was
doing, so I looked
online for a tutorial
on how to make a
piece of audio sound
like old timey radio. I
found one on
YouTube.

4. Process
• I learned that to
make something
sound like old timey
radio, I had to use
filters. The filters I
used were
• A) Parametric
Equalizer (Old Timey
Radio)
• B) FFT Filter (On
Hold EQ)

5. Process
• I was originally going
to have sounds of
artillery and gunfire in
the background,
however I thought it
would be a bit
inappropriate.
• I put together two one
hour clips of these
sounds and it sounded
immersive, almost as if
I was there.

6. Process
• To save my file as an
mp4, I had to have a
video. I decided that I
would just use a test
card (after an hour of
searching what it was
called) for the whole
thing as the unit is
based on audio.

7. Process
• I put a black and white
filter on the test card
and put a little logo of
a skull and crossbones
(the crossbones are
two little lightning
bolts) with a brodie
helmet.
• I also put VPR,
standing for Vengance
Pirate Radio.

8. Process
• To start with my actual audio, I
had to record me reading my
script. The recorder actually
picked up me turning the paper
of my script over, so I had to
cut that out.
• I recorded about 2 or 3 takes,
but it turned out the first one
was completely fine.
• Once I put the audio in
Audition, I put the filters which
I mentioned before on it.

9. Process
• I added in a bunch of
vinyl popping sounds
that I had
downloaded from
the internet to make
it sound a bit more
authentic.

10. Process
• I started to add in clips of
music, taken from the Battle of
Britain soundtrack, to give my
newscast a British Pathé feel.
This was decided after doing
some research on their videos.
• I added key frames onto most
of the music to turn it down. I
had it fading out at the start. I
also made my voice louder
using key frames.
• Once I had each clip of audio, I
put the same old timey filters
on that I had put on my voice. I
had saved it as a preset.

11. Process
• At the end of it all, I
move the edited mp3
file of my recording
into Premier Pro and
put the picture I had
previously edited on
top.
• I then exported it as
an mp4 file.
