THATS A WRAP!!! Production log! we have recorded the whole of our drama!!!

We had a practice session with the recording equipment, to learn how to use it properly and confidently as a group. We also noted down some important tips to remember when recording the drama which was always do a test recording,check everyone’s levels are at the same volume
format the drama to mp3 at the end of each session  and save the work.
As a group we got people to be our actors for our radio drama which some had to play different accents. Our actors had to play different roles, who played lauren had to play a sweet innocent voice and like the others playing Chris and stephen ]had to put on a  deep accent although Viviennes part was french. Other actors like jeffrey and the newsreporter who played a german accent and a girly high pitched voice too.
Whilst Recording Myself and Natalie were putting the drama together by using sound track pro and starting the recordings and pause and playing them back and keeping a check on the levels making sure the voices were not too loud although some characters such as Vivienne have to shout in some scenes so the levels are quite high. We completely recorded the whole drama we had a few hiccups of actors having to retake but overall it went really well and our group is really pleased with the drama.
recording button to start the drama

Using Soundtrak pro i was in charge of breaking the scenes so i used the recording button when everyone was ready and stop the scenes using the stop button to get ready for a new scene. I also had to look at the levels of everyones voice when recording so the recording doesnt sound distorted .
