recce as I only needed to record in the studio. Form the
production schedule I learned that it wouldn’t take me long to
get all my recordings completed so I decide to schedule the
filming for the second week

What issues did you encounter and Personally, I didn’t encounter any issues, but it was difficult to
how did you overcome them? decide which days were best to film on after looking at the
weather, if it does rain I can record the dripping sound I need
for my Foley I overcame this problem by double checking the
weather to see when I’m able to film.

How did you ensure that your location In terms of location recces, I only had to complete one as I will
recces were completed to a high be recording in the studio and I made sure that it was
standard? completed to a high standard because the radio booth has
the correct equipment so I talked about how there was good
sound equipment, there was good sources of power so that
the equipment could be plugged in

How did you ensure that your props list I didn’t need a props list because I’m doing a radio drama and
and crew list were completed to a for the crew list I made sure all the correct information was
high standard? there

How have you ensured your I have made sure that I have included enough detail in my
production schedule includes enough production schedule as I have talked about what I will be

am recording I have talked about what Foley sounds I will need
to record and whereabouts I will be filming those Foley sounds
and how I will be recording those Foley sounds.

How well have you managed and I feel like I am well organised in terms of crew as I have made
organised your cast and crew to be in sure that they can be in my production and are able to record
