As a group we edited the radio drama to make it seem more realistic with sound effects to make a dramatic effect to scenes and changes to voices making them either sound louder or quiter or fading. in the first scene we added sound effects of phone ringing and jazz music to set the scene and to match taste of certain character as Vivienne is a old french designer we thought jazz music would link well and as she is quite posh as it matches the characters taste. In other scenes we added other sound effects like scene three when Vivienne is angry because her fashion show, she wants vodka so we added sound effects of water being poured, ice cubes being added and sipping sounds which were very noticed setting the scene. In the very last scene i thought it needed to end with a bang so i come up with the idea that lauren should slap chris and we have Vivenne laughing to create tension and then lauren runs of and gets in her car and speeds off so we add footsteps and a car door slamming and screeching wheels we creates drama in the last scene which interests the listener for the next episode.
When I edited my radio Drama I really struggled at first, I think that it is skills that take a while to learn as well as getting used to the programme soundtrack pro
the tools i used to edit my radio drama were:
The selection tool: the selection tool is shaped like an arrow which enables you to click on parts of the scene which i used to edit my work for fading, cutting etc.
The blade tool: was the tool I used to cut parts of scenes which using the selection tool , I would select the part needed and using the blade tool of the part I wanted cutting I would click and the tool cuts it and using the arrow tool and pressing the delete button gets rid of the part you did not want.
Fade selector tool: I used the fade selector tool to fade scenes, I did this by clicking the part Iwanted to fade using the different shapes. If Iwas to fade the start of a scene the line would start off at the bottom and increase upwards in a curved shape .So the scene would start quiet but fade slowly in to the noise of the sound clip. Ending scenes i would fade using the same tool but the shape would be the opposite as its fading from sound to silence.
Sound Effects: I used sound effects in my drama which are Located in the Browser Tab area, where you can find click the Search Tab, which will automatically take you to the sound effects and type in what you wanted which was what i did of footsteps and screams also car effects etc.
Increase/decrease volume: I decreased some voices in the drama as the levels were quite high in some parts of the drama. Doing this I had to double click on a part of the clip , then a purple box comes up underneath the radio drama clip (in green) .which you double click and little black points appear which you can click again and the points join, you then move them up or down to increase or decrease the volume.
