AUDIO INTERVIEW PREPRODUCTION CHECKLIST:
AUDIO PRODUCTION
NOW YOU’RE READY TO
RECORD THE MAIN INTERVIEW
FOR YOUR SEMESTER PROJECT –
WE’RE MOVING FROM THE
PREPRODUCTION PHASE INTO
THE PRODUCTION PHASE
 AUDIO PRODUCTION ESSENTIALS
QUALITY – does it sound good?
• If you start with subpar raw material, you’ll have a
subpar product…
QUANTITY – did I get enough raw material?
• Do I have enough of what I need for the story I’m
producing?
DETAILS – am I using the time I have
effectively?
• Am I working as smartly as possible?
• QUALITY –
• Record in a quiet place!
• The subject is the main/only
focus – NOT YOU!
• Position your recording device so
that your subject has optimal
quality!
• QUALITY –
• Remember the “How…”,
“What…” and “Can you tell me
about…” questions – they are
often the best ones!
• Do NOT cross-talk (talk at the same
time) - if you do, editing will be
MUCH more difficult, if not
impossible!
• QUANTITY –
• Make sure you ask the questions
you prepared (at least 10)!
• Be certain you’re considering
follow-up questions!
• REALLY KNOW YOUR STORY SO
YOU CAN THINK ON THE FLY!
• QUANTITY – NAT SOUND
• Have you made sure to plan
for/record any “NAT SOUND” for
your story?
• NAT* SOUND = sound from the
scene that sets a scene, paints an
“audio picture”, and helps your
story come alive
• *“NAT” is short for “Natural”, meaning organic and
naturally occurring at the scene
• QUANTITY – NAT SOUND
• For example, an audio story about a political
rally NEEDS sounds of chanting, protestors,
outbursts, etc. to be its most effective
• A story about a football game NEEDS Nat
Sound of the fans, players, etc. to be most
effective
• UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU
EVER FAKE NAT SOUNDS! IF YOU DIDN’T GET
THEM AT THE TIME – THEY’RE JUST GONE –
IT’S UNETHICAL TO PRESENT SOMETHING AS
“FACT” IN THAT WAY SO NEVER DO THAT
• QUANTITY – NAT SOUND
• Of course, every story is different
and not every story will have NAT
SOUND potential – just be sure
you’re in the mindset to look for
and record it when your story
does have NAT SOUND potential!
• DETAILS –
• ONE INTERVIEW = ONE FILE
• Once you start recording, DON’T STOP
THE RECORDING TO START OVER –
you’ll edit it down in post-production
• Remember that you’ll be editing your
questions out of the final product so
make sure the answers are self-
contained as much as possible
• DETAILS –
• Routinely check the device to
make sure it’s still recording
• When the interview is finished
but before you leave, CHECK THE
RECORDING TO MAKE SURE IT’S
ACTUALLY THERE AND SOUNDS
GOOD
• DETAILS –
• If there’s a problem with the
actual audio file, it’s MUCH better
to deal with it then and there
than to find out later it’s unusable
• DETAILS –
• Keep your eye on time if limited
• State details on record; who you’re
interviewing, who you’re interviewing
them for, how to spell their name, their
title, etc.
• Last question of any interview should
always be some variation of “What else
would you like to talk about before we
wrap up?” (remember that could mean
ANYTHING, not just the subjects at hand)
• HandyRecorder ZOOM APP –
(iOS only)
The HandyRecorder app from ZOOM allows you to
record high-quality audio with your iOS device.
• Easy Voice Recorder APP –
(Android)
The free version offers high-quality formats,
background recording, and a home-screen widget,
while the pro version (priced at $3.99) can even record
phone calls. And it packs all these features into an easy-
to-use interface.
 SUBMIT/UPLOAD ENTIRE RAW
INTERVIEW FILE ON BLACKBOARD BY
DUE DATE!
 Please submit the file in MP3 or WAV
format (make sure it's the actual file and
NOT just a link to the file that I can't
actually access - in other words, you are
responsible for getting the file from your
device to Blackboard as I am not an
expert on every phone/device out there.

WCC COMM 106-Recording your semester project audio interview (LUTHER)

  • 1. PRODUCTION: RECORDING YOUR SEMESTER PROJECT AUDIO INTERVIEW multimedia journalism
  • 2.  PREPRODUCTION Choose topic, find sources, research, prep questions, all the logistics  PRODUCTION Actual interview/shooting  POST-PRODUCTION Writing, editing, polishing and publishing STAGES OF PRODUCTION
  • 3. WHO is your interview subject? WHAT is the specific story you are going to interview this person about? WHAT are your questions? WHEN are you going to interview this person? WHERE are you going to interview this person? WHY are you going to interview this person? What makes this story interesting, newsworthy, and worth reporting on? AUDIO INTERVIEW PREPRODUCTION CHECKLIST:
  • 4. AUDIO PRODUCTION NOW YOU’RE READY TO RECORD THE MAIN INTERVIEW FOR YOUR SEMESTER PROJECT – WE’RE MOVING FROM THE PREPRODUCTION PHASE INTO THE PRODUCTION PHASE
  • 5.  AUDIO PRODUCTION ESSENTIALS QUALITY – does it sound good? • If you start with subpar raw material, you’ll have a subpar product… QUANTITY – did I get enough raw material? • Do I have enough of what I need for the story I’m producing? DETAILS – am I using the time I have effectively? • Am I working as smartly as possible?
  • 6. • QUALITY – • Record in a quiet place! • The subject is the main/only focus – NOT YOU! • Position your recording device so that your subject has optimal quality!
  • 7. • QUALITY – • Remember the “How…”, “What…” and “Can you tell me about…” questions – they are often the best ones! • Do NOT cross-talk (talk at the same time) - if you do, editing will be MUCH more difficult, if not impossible!
  • 8. • QUANTITY – • Make sure you ask the questions you prepared (at least 10)! • Be certain you’re considering follow-up questions! • REALLY KNOW YOUR STORY SO YOU CAN THINK ON THE FLY!
  • 9. • QUANTITY – NAT SOUND • Have you made sure to plan for/record any “NAT SOUND” for your story? • NAT* SOUND = sound from the scene that sets a scene, paints an “audio picture”, and helps your story come alive • *“NAT” is short for “Natural”, meaning organic and naturally occurring at the scene
  • 10. • QUANTITY – NAT SOUND • For example, an audio story about a political rally NEEDS sounds of chanting, protestors, outbursts, etc. to be its most effective • A story about a football game NEEDS Nat Sound of the fans, players, etc. to be most effective • UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU EVER FAKE NAT SOUNDS! IF YOU DIDN’T GET THEM AT THE TIME – THEY’RE JUST GONE – IT’S UNETHICAL TO PRESENT SOMETHING AS “FACT” IN THAT WAY SO NEVER DO THAT
  • 11. • QUANTITY – NAT SOUND • Of course, every story is different and not every story will have NAT SOUND potential – just be sure you’re in the mindset to look for and record it when your story does have NAT SOUND potential!
  • 12. • DETAILS – • ONE INTERVIEW = ONE FILE • Once you start recording, DON’T STOP THE RECORDING TO START OVER – you’ll edit it down in post-production • Remember that you’ll be editing your questions out of the final product so make sure the answers are self- contained as much as possible
  • 13. • DETAILS – • Routinely check the device to make sure it’s still recording • When the interview is finished but before you leave, CHECK THE RECORDING TO MAKE SURE IT’S ACTUALLY THERE AND SOUNDS GOOD
  • 14. • DETAILS – • If there’s a problem with the actual audio file, it’s MUCH better to deal with it then and there than to find out later it’s unusable
  • 15. • DETAILS – • Keep your eye on time if limited • State details on record; who you’re interviewing, who you’re interviewing them for, how to spell their name, their title, etc. • Last question of any interview should always be some variation of “What else would you like to talk about before we wrap up?” (remember that could mean ANYTHING, not just the subjects at hand)
  • 16. • HandyRecorder ZOOM APP – (iOS only) The HandyRecorder app from ZOOM allows you to record high-quality audio with your iOS device.
  • 17. • Easy Voice Recorder APP – (Android) The free version offers high-quality formats, background recording, and a home-screen widget, while the pro version (priced at $3.99) can even record phone calls. And it packs all these features into an easy- to-use interface.
  • 18.  SUBMIT/UPLOAD ENTIRE RAW INTERVIEW FILE ON BLACKBOARD BY DUE DATE!  Please submit the file in MP3 or WAV format (make sure it's the actual file and NOT just a link to the file that I can't actually access - in other words, you are responsible for getting the file from your device to Blackboard as I am not an expert on every phone/device out there.
  • 19. BLACKBOARD MATERIAL: ASSIGNMENT: RAW AUDIO INTERVIEW DISCUSSION BOARD: INTERVIEW FEEDBACK
