This document outlines the pre-production planning for a podcast. It includes details on the logo design, layout, cast, storyboards, software and equipment needed, potential issues and solutions, health and safety considerations, and an 8-day production schedule. The logo will use red and grey/white colors. Recording software, microphones, a camera and tripod will be needed. Potential issues addressed include microphone placement, wiring, COVID protocols, and back pain prevention. The production schedule allocates days for scripting, setup, practice, recording, editing, and final review.

1. Pre-Production
Callum Joy

2. Style sheet
Colours- Use red in the logo because it goes
well with the image I used, the grey/white
can be used as a backdrop if we end up
recording with video
(Mainly following the theme of the title no
real effort will be going into the logo or
overall design unless unanimously decided)
Gill Sans Ultra Bold

3. Layout 1

4. Layout 2
The Half-Arsed cast

5. Story Boards / Timeline

6. Software & Resources
Software needed Resources needed
Recording software stuff Microphones
Premier pro A camera (If we record with video)
Tripod
Props
Script

7. Props & Locations
Props/Costume needed
(If we record with video)
Locations needed
3 funny hats A quiet room with a table and chairs and
recording equipment
A mannequin Or College Studio

8. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Camera/Mic placement Find the best angle for them to record the
podcast
All people involved in the podcast being
present
Do it in a voice call rather than in person
(Would still need a quiet room for anyone in
college)
Wiring Keep wires tidy and out of the way
Recording mess up Double check everything is set up and is
recording before we do anything

9. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
Mic Hitting people in the face Mic placement
Wire placement Try keep wires flat on the floor and out of the
way (tape can solve that easily)
COVID (Not as big of an issue because
vaccines and stuff)
Sanitise and keep distance
Tripping up Make sure all trip hazards are out of the way or
tucked under something
Dehydration Drink Water every few minutes
Back ache Stretch every few minutes
