P5: Record and edit a section of the planned UK radio programme.

Rushes:

The rushes are all useable as they are high quality and there are no background noises. There was part of a clip during the Millie's phone call where I had to cut as she began stuttering however it wasn't completely bad and was very easily fixed. All of the clips are able to be used however if there was any clips that had background noise I would have to re-record them. 

Throughout the process of recording I improved as I learned how to set up the equipment and learned how to record on Adobe Audition and how to put the audio together and add effects on Premier Pro. Also, my presenting skills improved drastically from the show and advert. 

Offline Edit:

The offline edit is the order of the show without any edits or effects. It shows the structure of the show and the time of each segment without any editing or additional sounds. This is the raw files before I made amendments to the show. Most audio in this was recorded in Adobe Audition and exported to Premier Pro.

Edit Log:

 

Recording name and number	Description	Recording length	Usable
Introduction:  “Merry Christmas” sound effects	All sounds were downloaded from a subscription service called epidemic sounds and edited together on Premier Pro, the Constant power transition was used both at the beginning and end of every sound to create a smooth transition	6 seconds	Use: for personal use, cannot be monetised
Jingle	Voice Recording were recorded in Adobe Audition and then placed underneath a music layer when edited together in Premier Pro; the music volume was decreased to create a background sound.	14 seconds	Yes was created by us in Premier Pro
‘Santa tell me’ Ariana Grande	Constant power transition was used in & out, cut in the middle to create a snippet of song as we were only allowed to use a small section	27 seconds	Yes as it is remixed
All the Dialogue clips	Cut up and stitched together to eliminate dead air. Each talking segment was broke up by another segment such as the jingle, advert or the phone-in segment.	3 minute 10	All Yes as we recorded ourselves
Lion roar	Constant power fades in and out. downloaded from subscription service called Epidemic Sounds	2 seconds	Yes royalty free sound effect
Yorkshire wildlife park Advertisement	Music levels lowered, and overlayed with Isaac, Alice and Noah raised above the music. Jingle bell added to the end.	50 seconds	All dialogue is royalty free however some sound effects are not copyright free and must not be monetised
Ho! Ho! Hotline! -  Phone ringing sounds  Toby's phone call   Ren’s phone call   Ellie’s phone call   Millie's phone call   Mr Grierson's phone call	Recording of a ringtone cut down and pasted into two consecutive chimes followed by a 1 second gap and then two more chimes. The phone calls were then exported from the Adobe Audition onto Premier Pro and edited in between the chimes to create 4 phone calls. Constant power fade was used throughout.	Toby-8 seconds   Ren-10 seconds   Ellie-16 seconds   Milie-32 seconds   Grierson-17 seconds	All recorded by us on Adobe Audition
Outro and sound effect	Voice recording and edited on premier pro constant power transition was used at the beginning and the end of the sentence to blend it together. The Ho Ho Ho at the end was downloaded from Epidemic Sounds and is played before the station finishes the phone calls off, this then transitions into the outro of Alice speaking and thanking everyone for listening.	6 seconds	All recorded and edited by us on Adobe Audition and Premier Pro

Final edited Radio show:

Screenshots of what I did:

This screenshot shows the main talking segment. We pieced each recording together to eliminate the dead air and create flow.

I adjusted sound levels to ensure the talking was always loud enough to hear but not too loud so it doesn't deafen the listeners.

(SS of adjusted audio)

Throughout the editing sequence I often used transitions to ensure the audio kept flowing and didn't stop or appear to stutter. This helped as it also eliminated the silence. The fast paced talking is better as it keeps listeners engaged the entire time.

In the advert we added background music to create an exciting and memorable experience. The music is upbeat and friendly and is also royalty free meaning we can use it in any way.

This segment is the phone-in section. There were many transitions used and edits such as volume and constant power. This meant that this segment is constantly going and it will keep listeners invested and involve them in the show.
