1. Comparisons between my prelim
task and my main task
When listening to my prelim task
and then listening to my main task
news bulletin, I have learnt from
doing the prelim that making sure
the levels are right are very
important because this makes the
radio bulletin flow better and the
quality of sound is much better.
Also I have learnt when doing the
prelim task that editing unwanted
sound is very important as it makes
the broadcast sound more
professional and the editing sound
better.
When doing the prelim task you could
say I was new to editing, I had to
learn all the tricks into making
something better, also when doing
the recording to cut things down i.e
from doing the interviews when only
needing certain pieces of
information, knowing how to
effectively cut this information out.
When doing the prelim the editing was much more
relaxed it was a chilled interview so there was room
for error, but when it came to the news bulletin it
had to be sophisticated and more professional
because it was important information that was bring
given to people and had to be done in a professional
manner. So when it came to the editing it had to crisp
and clear and well done. Audition helped me do this
because it enabled me to zoom in on the parts on
recording that I didn’t need and easily delete it.
Also when using SFX in the main we as a group
had to make sure that it fitted in right and was
not noticeable that it had been edited in. When
putting sound beds in and sound bites we had to
make sure that we didn’t make the too loud and
that you could still hear the voices still and it was
still clear.
Also the mode of address was very different in the
main task from the prelim, in the prelim it was much
more relaxed, but however when it came to main it
has to be much more standard English.
Also the direct address was different we had to
change this because the news bulletin was less direct
and more just generally telling the public, but when it
was the prelim it felt like we was talking to people
and the comedian was talking to the people
personally.
