podcast production

 






Shown above is the equipment that was used for the podcast. The podcast was recorded using the Rode NT1A microphone which, as explained in my pre production, is very good for the purposes of making a podcast. The room itself is decent with soundproofing. There are double doors in order to cut out most sounds and also thick glass to stop sounds coming in from the music recording rooms. 

The large screen displays the microphone outputs. Here we are able to change the gain on each microphone in order to fine tune the quality. If the microphone quality was set too low, it means more post processing will be required in order to have a decent sounding audio. However, if the audio was too loud and began to clip, the audio would have been unusable as it is impossible to bring them details back in post production.

The smaller monitor on the worktop has Logic Pro X open. The files were recorded in logic pro X in order to make sure that they would work when it comes to editing. If they were recorded in a different file, this may have caused problems down the line.

When it came to production I had many issues which may result in my final product being very basic and short. I had to record, the podcast a total of two times. During the first recording I had technical issues as it did not record a mic properly and meant that I would need to record again in order to include another person. This caused a major issue with production as I only had one chance to record. Luckily I was able to record again, however it wouldn't be until a week later.

Coming into recording the podcast I decided that it would be best to quickly record a segment of audio so I could make sure that all mics were recording properly. This worked and I was able to record a successful podcast. It ran very well and the homemade script helped streamline work. The script meant that people knew what to talk about and minimised the awkward silences. 

After recording It was time to start post production.

Smile Post-Production Diary

For my post-production I have decided to use premier pro. Premier pro is an editing program that allows you to splice, edit and colour grade footage. As shown in the pre-production, the beginning of my footage will be using  the same colour grade.  17th January - today I have started to edit my smile campaign video. I found the appropriate audio that I wanted. I gained my music from epidemic sound . Epidemic sound is a website where you give a monthly subscription and gain access to thousands of tracks and and sound effects. I decided to choose two audio clips. My first audio is very dull and deep. This will help with my editing as the audio conveys and reinforces the depressed mood that I wish to give off. My second audio clip is high pitched which conveys a happier tone. Audio is very important to a video as it helps tell the mood of a video and also the pace of clips. The audience unconsciously take in audio and it helps them tell the story to themselves. This is  why in some films

In order to make sure the posters are the best way possible. We use post editing software to change colours, change exposure and add text. To make sure I have the most amount of editing control, I will be using lightroom and Photoshop. Image 1 To start off my editing process I took the first image into Lightroom and made some quick adjustments in order to bring more definition into the buildings that are in the background. I did these using the basic correction tools found on the right hand side. After that, I felt that the room was still too bright and needed to be darker, therefore I created a graduated filter. As shown here there are 4 graduated filters coming from each side that have decrease in exposure. this should therefore take the exposure down on the parts of the images that are selected. Due to the fact that all the filters cover the room, the whole rooms exposure is taken down. Next I am going to use the tone curve in order to refine my exposure. To keep editing simple, I w

 15th of january - Picture 1 - Me Today I woke up at 6 o'clock in order to give me enough time to get ready to take my first image. The first image was of me standing in front of my window looking out at the surrounding houses while my room is pitch black. The image was very straight forward and captured with ease.  The settings were an ISO of 100. ISO is how sensitive the sensor on the camera is to light. Having a high ISO increases the amount of noise in the image. Therefore i stuck with 100 as my ISO.  I used an aperture of f/4 and a shutter speed of 2 seconds. After that I had nothing to do but wait until tomorrow as that was the date allowed for the recording outside. Today I realised that although the eye doesn't see it, there is barely enough light to record before sunrise. In the future this will help me plan for shots that are shot early morning. 16th January - Today I woke up and collected my gear and left the house at 7:48. From their I walked around a mile towards t
