3. Locations
The college studio-
The studio should be available if I book, in advanced. This
will be a free location for me to record my audio in peace.
The limitations and risk of the studio are that if the studio
is unavailable for any reason, I will have to rethink
location which is why I have a backup option in case this
happens or if it’s not quiet enough. The weather
shouldn’t affect my recording as my location is indoors.
However, if it is raining or windy, the sound may pick up
on the recording. This will mean I will need to edit out
background sound, if necessary, with the noise reduction
tool. I can also shut the windows if needed to help reduce
some of the background sound when recording. As I
won’t be using any of the screens or other equipment in
the studio and will only be using the table to sit at whilst
recording, there shouldn’t be as many risks and hazards
but me and my cast will need to be careful of any
equipment in the studio.
4. Equipment
There isn’t a lot of equipment that I will need to make my
podcast. The only things I require are a voice
recorder/microphone to record on and a computer to
edit on.
Microphone-
I will get all kit needed, from college. The only equipment
I will need is a couple of microphones/audio recorders.
College have ‘Boom Mic, Cable + Handheld’ Microphones
available to book. I have sent a request for a booking for
both the studio and the microphones, however, If this
isn’t available, I will use my phone to record the audio.
However, if possible, it would be a lot better and more
professional sounding and clearer audio.
Computer-
I will also need access to a computer which will be
available all around college at all times. I will be using this
to edit and transfer my audio onto adobe audition which
is what I will be using to put everything together and edit
my final piece.
5. Facilities
I won’t need any specialist facilities for my
project. I will only need access to a computer at
college to create this. I will be using adobe
audition and garage band to create my project.
Garage band-
Garage band I will be using to create my jingle. I
will be using garage band to create the tune for
the jingle and using recorded sound for the
voice over for my jingle.
Adobe audition-
I will be using adobe audition for a variety of
reasons and sections of my production. I will be
using it to edit and create my jingle to add
effects and make it sound clean and
professional. I will also be using it to put all the
clips together and create my project. Splitting
up the interview, adding the songs and editing
the jingle together.
6. Personnel
Crew-
• Me – I have the studio booked for 3rd
may at 10:30-2:45. I may not use the
studio for all this time, but it is
available for me to use when needed.
• Male Artist – Elliott Mountford. Elliott
is available for the time. Have booked
in for the studio. I have planned this in
advanced so that he can get
permission if needed to be out of
lesson to record.
• Female Artist - (uncasted)
• All cast will be asked to eat and drink in
their own time as we can not eat or
drink in the studio. No transport will be
needed as it will be recorded in
college.
8. Sound
Effects/Music
I am going to create a jingle using garage band.
This will include a background tune which I will
create on garage band along with a voice clip
which I will edit on audition. I will then edit
these together to create the final jingle.
All songs used will only be a few seconds from
the intro of the song and a few seconds from
the ending of the song. That way it won’t be
copy righted and also it wont make the show
too long. The songs will be faded in and out to
introduce the speaking before the next song.
The songs I am using will be a mix of a playlist
that I created for YorkMix and recent popular
songs. That way it is up to date and more
realistic and professional.
9. Script/Copy
• You will need to write out any copy or script
that you will be using. You will need to do this
as a separate document or you can include it
here.
– Magazine articles (double page spread) are
around 1400 words.
– Audio often has between 100 – 130 words per
minute.
– Films vary, but even if it has no dialogue, you need
to script what will happen visually.
