Audio Quality Testing

 From this test, the sound recorder does not give the requited audio quality that I wish for. While it goes give clear quality of sound, that is if it is only close to the person's mouth. And while it would be effective if i was for a single person's audio, I'm going to be recording the audio all at once and therefore I need a recording method where it can record multiple people inside of  a room. Due to this, i going to be swapping to the camera mic as it has a wide range and allows for me to record multiple people in a room.

INT.CLASSROOM – DAY

ALFIE will introduce the show as its producer, giving a general tl;dr on what it’s about and will then shift into the narrative where CHARLIE, SHILO AND ROJA are sitting in English class talking about something that happened outside of lesson.

ALFIE

(Engagingly)

You are now listening to A Produktion’s “To Catch an English student”, tune in as we follow an English class that is part of a long investigation into the tragic passing of one of their classmates.

Opening theme plays

CHARLIE

(Determined)
Okay yeah, but you still haven’t told me if you won the fight mate.

ROJA

(Ambiguously)
I mean… I threw the last punch, so yeah technically I won.

CHARLIE

(Disgusted)
Yeah you lost that fight, you look like you lost at least.

SHILO

(Disappointed)

There was honestly just no need to lie.

ROJA

(Embarrassed)

I’m not lying I PROMISE you.

SHILO

(Quoting mockingly)
“I threw the last punch, so I technically won” while there is a split in your eyebrow.

ROJA

(Defeated)
I hate you guys.

CHARLIE

(Shocked)
Just don’t lie then!

ROJA

(Heated)
I DIDN –

TOKYO walks into the classroom unannounced.

TOKYO

(Stern)

I need to talk to SHILO.

SHILO

(Confused)
Its 8 in the morning man what did I d-

TOKYO

(Even more stern)
Come.

ROJA

(Worried and whispering)

Dude what did you do.

SHILO

(Monotone)

I don’t know man, doesn’t matter its just a teacher. Most I’ll get is a detention.

ROJA

(Increasingly worried)
No man that’s Detective Tokyo. He’s an underground detective for the local authority that hasn’t gotten a single case wrong. Why is a detective looking for YOU specifically.

TOKYO

(Bellowing)

This applies for all of you, not even one of you is to leave this classroom. SHILO, you are to come with me.

SHILO gets up from his seat as we hear footsteps of him walking over to the door where TOKYO stands.

TOKYO and SHILO leave the room.

INT. INTERROGATION CLASROOM – DAY

After having been asked by TOKYO, SHILO is sitting with TOKYO in a separate classroom that’s a couple doors down. They start talking about the recent passing of one of SHILO’s schoolmates.

TOKYO

(Stern)

Recently, am I’m sure you are aware. A classmate of yours has passed. Holly.

SHILO

(Dampened)

Yeah, no need to remind me.

TOKYO

(Stern)

Were you close?

SHILO

(Slightly aggravated)

A Childhood friend of mine, known her since I was 5. I was one of the first people the school told.

TOKYO

(Interrogative)

They tell you how she died?

SHILO

(Uninterested)

N-

TOKYO

(Stubborn)

Suicide. Took her own life at 2.46am last week. The reason why your class is on lockdown is because someone in your English class was the root cause for this death. Assisted Suicide. The reason why I pulled you out first, is because I’m sure it isn’t you. We’ve been through your chat logs, and we found nothing that could evidence it towards you. You’re allowed to leave; I’ve already gotten permission for you to leave school early so the office should let you just walk out.

SHILO

(Horrified)
What... Assisted suicide? Who in that classroom is horrible enough to do that to a person. Whoever it is tell me so I can beat the s-

TOKYO

(Sympathetic)

I know she was your close friend, but we’ll handle their punishment. Go home for now, take some time to rest. It was recent so I’m sure you aren’t fully recovered from it yet.

SHILO

(Sad)

I just miss her man.

TOKYO

(Sympathetic)

Go home SHILO. Have a good day.

SHILO

(Quiet)

Have a good day sir. Please find whoever it was.

TOKYO

(Determined)

That’s why I’m here.

SHILO and TOKYO stand up to leave the room.

SHILO and TOKYO leave the interrogation room.

 

INT. CLASSROOM – DAY

SHILO having now left, we see as TOKYO goes back into the classroom to tell the class what’s happening.

TOKYO

(Stern)

SHILO has been allowed to leave. Having been proven entirely innocent there is no need for him to be here. That’s the same for all of you, once you are proven entirely innocent, I will allow you to leave. Until then, the ONLY time you will be leaving this classroom is when I tell you to. Understood?

CHARLIE

(Worried and confused)

Innocent for what? What’s happening anyway, and what did you talk to SHILO about?

TOKYO

(Strict)

As you all know, a recent member of this school passed. Holly. However, it was not told to any of you why she has passed. I am here to tell you now that it was due to assisted suicide. One of the people in this class cyberbullied Holly to a point of no return and has caused this.

ROJA

(Angry)
And why do we need to be kept in here? I didn’t do anything so why are we all being kept in this hot English classroom.

TOKYO

(Poking at ROJA)

That’s a funny way to react to someone telling you that someone in this classroom is most likely an indirect murderer. Why do you not seem to care ROJA?

ROJA

(Panicking)

I-      I don’t know I just didn’t know her as much as SHILO or CHARLIE did. Never really talked to her so I quite frankly don’t care.

TOKYO

(Surprised)

Openly admitting that you don’t care about someone dying is bold ROJA. Almost as if you didn’t care IF she died while you bullied her?

Investigating Tech used in radio

This is a mixing desk, it's used to control the sounds which are played during the radio show. It allows for the people in the studio to be able to control the level of sounds when the radio is airing. This means that if they're playing music in or out they can fade it in and out and therefore allows for a better radio experience when trying to air a show. We can see it being used here to control the different levels of sound so that the radio broadcaster can make people seem like they're talking at different levels. This hardware would be used by the radio broadcasters whenever they're trying to fade in different audios of people talking, when someone may be leaving the set their audio would be slid down by the people who are operating the mixing desk which allows the audio to sound more authentic.

A digital cart wall is a digital player that has a log of different sound's lined up so that whilst the radio
broadcast is live. Using this is very good for the broadcast as it allows them to easily access stored sounds that they commonly wish to play meaning that they don't have to seek out the sound and then get everything ready. For example, when a radio broadcast is starting they may use the digital cart wall to play a noise which is their intro song and then can control that they've queued using the mixing desk. Therefore, allowing the radio broadcast to be much more fluent with what they play and makes the listening experience much better for the people watching. A digital cart wall may be used by the broadcasters when they're playing their introduction song. They would press the already loaded audio on the digital cart wall and it would then play whilst they start the show so that they don't have to load up the audio whilst the show is going. Not only that, but it helps organise all of the sound effects they would usually use.

In this, a playlist of everything lined up by the broadcaster is very helpful as it allows for not only the audience by the broadcasters themselves to have a clarity on what they are doing for the day. This then allows the audience to know what time their favourite show or song may be airing and they would then tune in for that part of the show and it also allows the broadcasters to manage their time appropriately and not have to cause any scheduling issues. Broadcasters would use this to make sure that audiences know when the shows are being aired to get an even larger audience, as if you don't know when a show is being aired you won't be there when it does actually air.

Finally, A digital playout system is a broadcasting technology that automates the process of transmitting media content, like radio or television signals, to audiences. It uses software and equipment to manage and deliver pre-planned schedules of content, including live shows, recorded programs, and commercials, ensuring timely and error-free broadcasts. Broadcasters would use this to make sure that audiences get a good experience when watching their show.
