Production Journey - UNITS 14 & 16

Starting my production journey i made sure i knew how to use the software and equipment for my radio show. In oder for me to be familiar with what i am using i had to start of with GarageBand understanding how to use the microphone to record the sound. I also had to understand how to use my phone to record sounds with no background noise. In the process of me using GarageBand i saw i could use the software to record different types of sounds however i used voice. This made my                                                                                                audio clear. 

I made sure to record some sounds my self for my production journey the reason to this was it sounds more natural and it blends in with voice audio more. Due to me recording the sound on my phone is was easier to take it to the different places i wanted sounds from. 

To make sure i stuck to my pre-production material i had in hand to use i simply asked my teacher if i can print it out. This allowed me to follow everything i said in my pre production planning this also made it easier for me to not be carrying around my laptop to see what i need to do that i said i would do in my pre production.

After i received my feedback from my focus group i had to go back and make some changes my focus group had given to me such as recording my car sound again. They had also mentioned that some of my audio recording was bubbly because of the mic being to close to the mouth and needed to be covered with something. However i was able to make these changes by simply going outside and recording car noises in my free time. I was also able to record my audio again in my spare time like lunch and break. Due to me not being able to take school equipment like the sonny mic because other students would need it on the following Monday and there was a possibly i could of been sick and wouldn't be in school so i used my phone to record these sounds. This also allowed me to meet the teachers deadline. 

When i made my final edit with all the feedback i wanted to make sure my work was good and meets the public expectations. This is why i took all the audience feedback and made sure i made these changes to my final edit so i decided to cut some audio clips short and extend some. This made my overall final edit better. 

When i used sound of youtube i used this youtube to mp3 converter to use the sound and add it onto final cut pro. This allowed my sound to be better quality and clear.

Finally when everything was done i was able to save it into the right format and upload it to youtube. 

I created my very own background image to use and add it onto final cut pro so that audience know what my radio is called and what is being spoken about. This allows the audience to know what the hot topic is about.
