This document outlines the pre-production planning for a student media project. It includes a list of sound effects that will be used and their sources from YouTube. Music tracks will also be sourced from YouTube channels like NCS. The project will involve interviewing classmates pretending to be sports fans in both crowded and quiet locations. Health and safety precautions are considered like taking breaks and not eating near electronics. Contingency plans address issues like computer malfunctions or corrupted files. A 6-day production schedule is outlined involving collecting sounds, recording audio, editing, and final evaluation.

Track Name/Artist How/Where will it be used Source
I am not entirely sure as of this moment what music I will use, but
I know for sure I will be using non-copyrighted music throughout
my production, from channels on YouTube such as: NCS, trap
nation and chill nation. I will come back to this slide once I have
decided what array of music I shall include, in my final product.

4. Props & Locations
People needed Locations needed for
sound effects
Friends and or class mates, for fake sports
interviews.
A crowded area for natural background
noise, or a quiet area in which I shall add
background noises over it during post
production.
Friends and or class mates, for “special
guests” and a secondary radio
host/correspondent.
A quiet area as if we were in a news studio.

5. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
losing any unsaved work due to an error,
through a fault by the computer or by yourself.
Save and backup any and all files you’ve
worked on.
Drink and or food spillage onto any electricals,
e.g. computer. Causing you too possibly lose
any unsaved work unintentionally, but most
importantly it could lead to a fire hazard.
Don’t drink or eat near any electricals,
especially when in the vicinity of a computer.
Eye strain from looking at a computer screen
for too long.
Take regular breaks away from the computer.
Back pain may arise, from sitting down for too
long.
Take standing breaks out of your chair.
You may hurt your hands typing up PowerPoint
and word documents for too long.
Take breaks away from your keyboard.

6. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Spillage of drinks and or food on the computer. Don’t drink or eat right near the computer.
corrupted work in your documents. save work in multiple locations e.g. email it to
yourself and to tutor.
work left unsaved will have to be re-done . Always save work after completion.
The different computers I use during lessons,
may not be compatible with the software I
need.
Either work on something else during lesson,
or log onto another computer.
The computer I log onto during lessons may be
damaged, or un-functional.
Log onto another computer.
