Monday 7th of November
Today we did alot of thinking how how to improve our current ideas, the reason we decided to take a break and brainstorm is because we all thought it was a good idea to step back and evaluate the situation we had. we all evaluated the things that we had done for example the script to see if we had any new ideas and changes we could implement to improve upon the idea. we also began setting up our pre-production so that it would be all ready for use to use when the time came (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bx0G2iRgsM_mMnNoLXFHaUhPVWs) to implament the pre-production as well as the production items needed such as sound clips.
Tuesday 8th of November
Today we began the recordings for the main production. All of us got organised and ready to be in the recording studio on time to get the bulk of the recording done as soon as we could as to have more time incase we needed to have any changes as well as the use of an contingency plan. Unfortunately we had to use the contingency plan with the voice actors as they required fees to do the voice acting we needed from them. The recording session went better than we expected and we got alot of the audio we needed for that day and well well prepared to record more in the free time we had. Because the voice actors required fees I took a part in the production as the young soldier instead of the original voice actor. Dan our teacher was also needed as a contingency plan as Sarg as the original voice actor also wanted fees so we went ahead with this in mind. We needed to wait to record tom evan's lines as the voice actor would only be available at the weekend. because of this we was limited on how much we could record because of the bulk of the project being tom evans.
When working in the industry especially sound you need to know exactly how to get the best high quality sound you can so that it sounds professional and clean to listen too. Sound in a radio production is the main and key part to making it as best as possible with the equipment you have to you disposal. One of the main problems with sound is that people have the mentality to fix any problem they have had in post production which should not be a way to record sound as you need to get it as clear as possible and sound can not always be fixed in post production. Doing re records is very important as if any background noise gets picked up by the microphone the scene needs to be re done. In the industryu connars are not cut to get things done and things need to be taken with great care when dealing with them rather than rushing to get a finished product out the door (http://www.raindance.org/top-10-donts-of-sound-recording-for-film/)
