Evaluation - Preliminary Task to Final Task
When looking at how my research and planning skills have improved from when creating my Preliminary Task to my Final Radio Production, it is evident that my skills have advanced and I now have a wider understanding of the technology and software used.
When doing my preliminary task, i used a small amount of technology. This gave me slight experience and an idea of what I will be doing for my Final Radio show and it definitely prepared me for when I started to edit and then completed my final radio task, however not in so much detail. When finished recording for my Final Task, i was introduced to different forms of editing on the Adobe Software. I was able to mix different sound effects together to create the perfect sounds needed on the clips.
After all learning all of this, and understanding how to do work with the software, It gave me more enthusiasm to make harder adverts and challenge myself to complete them. I included Voxpops, outside broadcasts, music and different sound effects which made everything more authentic and realistic.
Below is a clip from my Preliminary Task
Below are two different clips from the same advert. I used the technology to record everyone individually and then combine each clip together
After completing my Preliminary Task, I knew that i had several things that had to be done in order to improve the sound of the Radio Project. I wrote a list of different things that I knew I had to improve
- Picking better voices to make the radio sound more authentic
- While writing my script I will use the language that suits each character more
- Use more voices to make the radio sound more authentic
- Get better music to attract my target audience
- Edit the voices so that there are no stutters

Evaluation - Technology

When using the Adobe Multitrack, it allowed me to overlap many different files to create one large final file. I was able to make it sound like there was street sounds in a voxpop without going outside.
The Microphone was also one of the main uses in recording. It has an anti pop guard to prevent any hissing and unnecessary sounds. When the sounds where not as clear as needed, i was able to remove them with Adobe Audition. It allowed me to combine the tracks using the multitrack option. The software also allowed me to adjust the volume and quality of each sound. This meant that i was able to fade voices in and out - this became useful for my News Stories.
