Production Log

Production Log:

Week one: During this week we received our brief for our five minute radio drama leading to the brainstorming phase of production observing character development relationships between a synopsis and treatment as well as basic financing this continued into the next week.  

Week two: During this week we received our brief for our five minute radio drama leading to the brainstorming phase of production observing character development relationships between a synopsis and treatment as well as basic financing this culminated in a pitch to my lecturer and my class peers.

Week three: We were given our next objective which was to create an informative PowerPoint presentation for the AS level students on how to develop and produce a Radio Drama encompassing codes conventions and all and any specific techniques required.

Week four: This week saw the completion of the pre-production material necessary to begin filming such as risk assessments, props list and recording schedules.

Week five: this week saw the complete recording of all the scripted (and some unscripted) content required to complete my radio drama. This was then imported onto premier pro and was edited to place it together and create the finished product.

Week six: this final week I had the pleasure to play my drama for my peers and receive their personal feedback and views before completing this production log and evaluation respectively.

Evaluation

Evaluation

When looking back over my projects and the total time used I believe I have used my time creatively and effectively and produced a piece of work representative of my individual creative ability. When looking back over my work after having shown it to my peers I have found several reoccurring points for work the top three coming out as the length of the piano, additional sound effects need to help illustrate the story and the one awkward missing word. Other minor point that were observed by my lecturer were levels go up and down during piano playing-double check however after having replayed the recording its simply the piano player fading in order to build towards a climax. If I was to redo this particular project the primary thing I would change would be my attention to detail during the editing phase.

Final Product
