Feedback

This is the feedback I got for my Unedited version of my Radio drama
 
What drops on the floor ? Big bump (Rizzla)
 
Sound effects
 
Cut out giggling
 
Mary jane/cuts in too quickly
 
Need a doorbell for Domino pizza
+ door opening/closing
 
The simplicity made it easy to listen to
 
The general opinion was that it was funny
 
Add in fades for scene changes
 
All of these problems have been taken out of my final edit
their are loads of different sound effects , lots of careful editing
of various different audio files and rerecorded dialouge in certain places

Material List (foley sound)

Im not going to need alot of materials for recording but I will need a couple things.
 
A few packets of crisps to make the sound of food rustling.
 
A shed door or a piece of wood to slap down , for when they leave the shed.
 
A few beeps and random noices to show that their using equiptment.
 
And finally Im going to record a keyboard tapping because that will make it clear to the user when somebodys on the computer.
 
Things are likely to come up and I may have to improvise and change things
but Im going to keep this log updated and make sure that anything that I
record is logged and available to refrence at any point.
 
Im also going to need a high quality microphone for recording
I can either borrow one from music technology which I think I might do.
Or borrow one from a friend and record it with that.
Il see how it plays out and when the microphones are available.
 
Here is a picture of the microphones that college has.
 
 

Location Plan

I plan on recording the drama at a friends music studio , I will have acccess to professional equiptment and since my drama is based in a music studio its the perfect place for me to record my project.

The studio is in windsor should provide the perfect enviroment for recording but if for some reason I cant use the studio I can record at my house because I have a home studio with similar equiptment.

Im going to go with the third opening because I feel that it captures the teenage humour that I'm going with and really gives you an idea what the characters are like in very few words.
