Unit 20: P4 - production

P4 is where you place evidence of you producing, i.e making your podcast. It's here where you place a link to your raw audio files, and place screenshots of you working in Audacity or Audition.

My advice is is that if you are dithering over starting your podcast, just give it a go. Your first recording will be terrible anyway and you will almost certainly end up re-recording it, so get the rough draft done and dusted!


Let's go through it step by step:

a) Audio files


On this slide, you place a link to the audio files that you made your podcast out of. You should also include a screen capture of the raw files sitting in your folder, which should look a little bit like this:

This is actually a bunch of songs from a techno album
 but you get the 
general idea


b) Revised edit decision list


This is where you include a list of the decisions and changes you made after you started to record your podcast. It's completely fine to make changes from your original plan, but just include them of this slide. Below is an example of what this might look like:

 

cM2D1) Account of production techniques


On this slide, describe how you recorded your podcast. For example,

  • Where did you put the mic? 
  • What room did you record in? 
  • Why? 
  • How did you prevent any issues from happening? 
  • What techniques did you use to get the best sound? 
  • Was your sound terrible first time, and did you have to re-record it?

It would be good to have an image here of what your recording situation looked like. Make sure you put lots of detail in to this slide, as it contributes towards Distinction criteria. 

d) Equipment photo


On this slide, include an image of the equipment you used. This will probably involve an image of your phone, microphone, and/or computer.

It's not a very exciting slide.

e/M2D1) Raw files


On this slide, you include a link to your rough cut. Yes, I know it says 'raw files', but it's too late to change that. Maybe you should change this slide to say 'rough cut'
