Evaluation of Final Edit

My radio drama is called "I've Got a Fan Online". The story is about a man, Daniel who now is in his 20s, who gives his story to an interviewer about his experiences with an online hate page made of him. Throughout the episode the interviewer/host asks questions to Daniel about what he saw and felt, and after each question, we listen to a reenactment of what actually happened. This is done so that it creates a docu-drama effect which I believe is the most engaging type of radio drama. Throughout the episode, we dive deeper into the, supposed, sinister things Daniel had experienced and how he should have worked around it. For example, I talked about a helpline you could reach out to at the end of my drama, ensuring that the aim of tackling online bullying is kept. 


My radio drama follows a fictional, single-stranded, and three-act structure.

In the first act, we start off light and simple where our host introduces the show to the audience, and then Daniel follows introducing himself and why he is on the show. He talks to the audience briefly about where he currently is in life, and what happened to him at the time. This helps to set up the drama and make a clear ground on what the audience should expect. This was successful since it clearly introduced the show, which can then lead the audience into the show cohesively. There is an inciting incident, which hooks the audience into finding out how it would be resolved. However, it can be argued that I could have made the tension more intensified. The actor sounds quite relaxed when he speaks and only briefly tells us what happened to him. 

The second act of the episode is then the flashback to Daniel in the pub. During this time, he faces confrontations with the account and aims to navigate himself around this. He attempts to tell his friends about the account, however, they seem to be drunk and unbothered and instead mock him. This use of dramatic irony is purposefully performed to engage my audience, by allowing the audience to know more than the characters it allows me to emotionally attach my viewers to Daniel and the episode. After this flashback, Daniel tells the audience what exactly he saw. This could be considered as the 'Climax' of the episode since it is the moment Daniel realises his biggest challenge which eventually sets him on course for resolving this. This was very successful in the sense that it presented our crises, and we found out how our main character struggled. This helped to raise the tension and keep the viewers engaged in the storyline.

Finally, in the third act, Daniel attempts to resolve the issue by discussing it with the police. However, he faces the unexpected when the police tell him that they can't do anything; after giving all the information he has on the topic he is told that his experience is inconsiderable and will have to resort to other means. Doing so, the police officer advises that he first reports the matter to the app on which it had occurred and then eventually reassures him that they can take further matters if that solution does not work. In her failed attempts to help, Daniel leaves agitated and unsatisfied and the matter is left to be continued in the next episode. Our host then reassures this message by telling the audience "We'll see you in the next [episode]" and a message about the NSPCC helpline. The use of adding a helpline at the end of the episode was to ensure that the audience is not completely left in the dark if they wish to seek help and face a similar problem. This helps to spread the message of online anti-bullying. The last act was unfinished, however, you could argue that it kept the audience engaged with the show. In the end, we are left with a cliffhanger, wondering what Daniel was to do afterwards. This does not resolve the tension, however, since this is a radio drama, it means that it can be considered effective since we want to keep the audience watching into our next episodes. 


One convention that I used in my radio drama is that I incorporated a catchy jingle. From 0:00 to 0:10 I introduce my radio drama with, what is meant to be, its signature introduction song. This is to indicate that the episode is now about to start and to also alert listeners that it is associated with a docu-drama. The song was composed by me on Logic Pro X, and I aimed to give it an eerie yet intriguing tone. The pulsating beats gives a disorientated feel, which I believe relates to what my radio drama is about. My outro at 4:17 also features the same song but backwards. I realised that using this effect gave an unsettling feeling since it does not feel natural, which again represents the idea I had for my radio drama. In addition to this, I added my voice-over about the NSPCC on top of this. This was done since pairing the two together meant listeners are less likely to click off the episode; it makes the voice-over more appealing to listen to since it is not just a bit of dialogue, but also a piece of compelling music. Radio dramas usually tend to use jingles since it helps to make their show recognisable. They are also used at the beginning and sometimes the end of the drama to indicate when it is starting and ending; it gives time for the audience to prepare and settle to listen to the show.

Afterwards, I then had my host introduce the radio drama and inform the viewers on what they are to expect: 0:11- 0:19, the host highlights "Welcome to I've Got a Fan Online...Dark sides of social media and the online world". Through these word choices, I believe it solidified my attempt to make the introduction clear. I knew that my introduction had to be strong since it is the first thing the audience will hear and, therefore, helps them to decide whether they would like to listen to the rest or not. Since this is a radio drama and not a film, it meant that my introduction would also have to be clear enough to cover the void of visuals the listeners have. Therefore, with this in mind, I made sure I produced a strong and inviting introduction to my audience. When recording the voice-over, I made sure to record it on a professional microphone, as well as in a soundproof room. With this it allowed me to make sure that background noise was kept to a minimum and also give a professional yet engaging environment. Since I still faced a bit of white noise, I made slight use of Final Cut Pro's 'voice isolation' tool to emphasise this effect. It also meant that more focus could go onto the actual lines themselves rather than the white noise in the background. Radio dramas also usually tend to have introductions since they help the audience to understand what is going on in the show. It may be a recap of what happened in the last episode or a speech on what is to be expected in the episode.

Another convention that I had included was the use of foley and wild track sounds. I executed this during the timestamps: 1:10-1:46 and 4:01-4:08. During the first timestamp, I recorded chattering in a busy place. After my first draft, I realised that my pub scene did not feel like a pub since there wasn't anyone else in the background other than my characters, therefore I decided to add that sound. Along with this, I also recorded a camera shuttering sound to indicate that Daniel was taking a "picture for the insta" [1:11]. Through this, I aimed to make the episode easy to follow without losing the audience. Since I am aware that the listeners cannot physically see what is happening, I used this camera shutter to make up for this missing sense. I then once again use foley sounds during 4:01-4:08. During this, there is a fading sound of footsteps, which is then greeted with a slamming door at the end. During this timeframe, Daniel is heard to be distancing himself away from the microphone, as if he is walking away from the Police officer. To accompany this, I added fading footsteps, which helped to solidify this message of walking away. Not only does it make sure that we know Daniel is attempting to leave the scene, we also understand his sense of direction which helps the audience to follow through. I then end the scene with a door slamming that I recorded, which now suggests that Daniel has left and it is supposedly the end of the scene. This presents how my radio conforms to typical radio dramas, as it finds ways to fully submerse the listeners through the power of foley and wild track sounds. Radio dramas tend to rely on foley sound since it has to make up for the lack of visuals. They use it to help convey the story and set the scene.

My drama also consists of some royalty-free glitch sound effects, which I used between transitions of my flashbacks and forwards. With this, it helped me to easily divide the two timescales and help the audience to follow through. Without this key feature, I am sure that my radio drama would be confusing and much harder to understand. I also incorporated some royalty-free, non-diegetic soundtracks in the background. My aim with this device was to subconsciously create a certain feeling within my audience, and anchor the sense of tension and suspense. The music is subtle, yet when heard you can hear that it has an eerie and unsettling sense. This was to make sure that it covered any caveats that I made when it came to dialogue or foley and make sure the audience understood that the drama was unsettling.

The last convention that I included was the use of dialogue. My episode relies heavily on this factor, since it is what I believe makes the radio drama as clear as possible. With this vital device, the audience can understand the story much better. Through my dialogue I was also able to set the tone of the scene; during the interviews, the tonality was slightly stern and reserved [0:11-0:25] and at other times it was very bubbly and ecstatic [1:11-1:16]. As you can hear, the two scenes present two very different styles of talking. This demonstrates how with the use of dialogue, I was able to inflict emotion within my listeners through the use of dialogue.


One of the main strengths that I believe I exercised was a relatable and engaging storyline. The episode narrative seems to follow the necessary traditional aspects, as well as adding a bit of an unconventional feel. Since my episode follows a three-act structure it allows for a strong base. However, the idea of there being flashbacks in a radio drama is something I had not seen while studying the topic. It seemed that since it is a radio drama, it meant that doing such ideas may seem hard, albeit this, I decided to add it since it adds an engaging and unusual take. Moreover, my main character Daniel has been made in the same age range as my target audience. Through doing so, I attempted to help make the listeners feel comfortable and familiar with the characters, ensuring that I engaged them as much as possible. My radio drama also covers a topic that is very relevant in today's society, hate pages. This is a very common issue, and I have personally been around people who have experienced this sort of hate, ergo, it helped to create a relatable and engaging storyline.

Another strength that I demonstrated was my effective use of sound, specifically in foley. Within the episode, I made sure to use sound effects where the audience would expect to hear something. For example, I used a camera shutter at [1:15] to make it clear that Daniel was taking a picture, and at the same time, I used chattering sound effects to signify the image of being in a busy pub. Since this is a radio drama, it means that audio will play a crucial part in what the audience uses to engage with the episode. This is because it adds verisimilitude, and will help the listeners to feel as if though they are in the same room as the characters. On top of this, I also used soundtracks as I previously mentioned. With this, I was able to create a subconscious feeling of threat within the listeners, and effectively get my image across to the audience through my sound. Thus, I believe that my use of audio helped to engage the audience.


One of the biggest weaknesses I faced was that after recording all my lines when I played back, I could hear that the actors were sometimes too close to the microphone. This meant that occasionally I would hear booming sounds since the wind was bouncing off the mic. Though this did not hinder the entirety of my radio drama, it did mean that the sense of continuity was broken at times since we were brought back to the idea that this is a recording and not real life. To help avoid this next time, I will try to find wind sheilds to cover the microphone, which would stop the harshness of their breathing being recorded.

Another weakness that I faced was that my audio recordings were performed faster than they were meant to be. After chronologically ordering all my lines, I realised that the time did not reach 5 minutes and that I would have to rely on other factors such as pauses, intro, and outro music. Though I managed to push my radio drama almost there, it did mean that I had to spend a lot more time adjusting certain audio speeds and my intro song. 

A final weakness that I experienced was that perhaps when it came to the police officer scene, more could have been done to educate and teach the audience rather than making it seem like the officer couldn't do anything. The way I portrayed the cop made it seem like they didn't care, and while it fits the storyline, it doesn't help in educating the audience. Instead of saying "First contact the Instagram heads or whatever app it is" I should have gone into more detail about what Daniel or anyone watching who relates could do. This would definitely make the radio drama more helpful and informative. Additionally, I believe that when the flashbacks and forwards were taking place, I should have made it more clear that we were going back in time rather than relying on the audience to understand what the sound meant.


One of the improvements I believe I could have made for the first weakness would be making sure that I do not record the audio too close to the mic, as I previously mentioned in my weaknesses. In order to do so, I would ensure to first do a proper test with the settings, play it back, and then adjust the distance of the actor accordingly. Additionally, I could also listen back to each line after it's recorded, which will definitely make sure that I get my lines perfect, even though it could take longer. As a final measure, I could invest in some windshields for the microphones. With these, it would make sure that even if my actors slightly move and come closer to the mic, the wind won't be picked up as much. It would also mean that less white noise would be recorded, allowing crisp audio to come through. 

Another improvement for the second weakness that I could make is to efficiently plan how long each set of lines should take to record. By rehearsing the lines myself, I believe that I could have made notes on how long I wanted each line to last, and therefore calculate how long the lines would have amounted to in the end. With this extra planning, I'm sure that it would have saved me more time during post-production editing. 

A final improvement on the third weakness is that I could have made was by researching a bit more on my topic and going into more depth. Even though the episode was just the first part of a few, that was not made clear, therefore the police officer scene could leave things on a bad note for people if they were not to continue the rest of the episodes. This would have resulted in more security being put in the audience and also helped them to trust the police more. In order to fix the flashback and forward problem, perhaps by vocally saying that we are going back in time, or even that we are reenacting the scenes, it would have made the action much clearer.


Within my episode I ensured that I incorporated audio and technological codes in order to engage and immerse my audience. The first way I demonstrated this was through foley sound effects, such as the camera shuttering, footsteps and the door slamming shut. Through these sound effects, it meant that I could make up for the missing visual sense the audience does not have. Along with this, I also used two royalty-free sound effects a glitch sound and a flashback sound. The use of the glitch effect meant that I could add a sense of distortion to my radio drama, and make it feel a bit eerie. With the use of my flashback sound, it meant that I could clearly indicate to the audience what exactly was happening, and gave clarity into which scene we were in. Through the sounds, I was able to give the audience a sense of direction and ensure they weren't so lost in the storyline.

Another way I used audio and technological codes was through the use of non-diegetic music. Within the background I faintly added some music in tense parts of the drama. Through this, I was able to subconsciously create a tense tone within the listeners, which helped to make sure they were engaged and prepared for the upcoming scenes. To represent the theme of hidden identity and suspense, I used soundtracks that reflected this.

A final way I used audio and technological codes was through my intro and outro music. I believe that creating a jingle for my radio drama made a clear gateway for whether the episode was starting or ending. This meant that the audience knew when to start listening, and also allowed them to familiarise the song with the drama. Besides this, the pulsating sound that I chose allowed me to add to the unnerving sense of what the show holds.

Production Journey

MY PRODUCTION JOURNEY

The first part of my journey involved me having to get familiar with the equipment I was going to film with. This meant that I learnt how to work around my way in garage band, and used it to record the actor's voices. The software provided me with the ability to record sound onto a timeline, as well as use a metronome to count my actors in when it was time to record. I could easily manipulate the clips around and then save it into my desired audio file. This helped me to create one long audio sound file for each of my actors, which provided a really organised structure, rather than having each individual line have its own audio file.

Here I have set up my area for recording. I had my MacBook connected with a device to connect the microphone, and then kept my phone on the side which had the script lines on it. This set up was really useful, as it had everything I needed, and also made it easy for my actors to record their sounds. Each of my audio recordings were recorded separately, which I believe ended up being the best decision. This is because I was able to record the audios so quickly, and rerecord more times than I could have if I decided to record all the audios together. This meant that when it would come to post-production, I could layer the audios however I wanted.

Here is when I had recorded 2 of my people, Daniel and the Interviewer. They were recorded separately at different times, however recorded in the same day. This demonstrates how I planned my time effectively.

And finally here is a screen grab of what my editing layout looked like as I was editing. I made a lot of cuts and edits, added music and discarded others. As you can see, I added intro and outro music at the beginning and end of my radio drama. As well as this, I added some copyright free background music in order to set the tone of the drama. Additionally, I recorded some of my own foley sounds, such as the voice chattering that is played in the pub, footsteps, camera shuttering, and even the door slamming. Moreover, as you can see I layered some of my audio recordings on top of each other. Through this I aimed to make it seem as if though the characters were in the same room at the same time, making the dialogue seem as seamless as possible. I hope that this created a more immersive feeling to my radio drama.

My Successes

I managed to complete all of my production as well as the analysis this month, which is a great achievement.

My Challenges

The rushes log took lots of time to do since there were lots of bloopers. The analysis was quite tricky since I had to thoroughly understand what the people from my focus group wanted from my edit, and how to make the changes. The editing also took lots of time, since I had to work around the software and source sounds and effects. I had to ensure that I

Focus Group Feedback Analysis

My focus group allowed me to pinpoint a lot of areas that were missing, especially ones that I had not considered before. This means that I will have a better understanding of what my audience wants and what will help enhance my radio drama further. The first question that I asked was, "What did you think went well with my radio drama first draft" which allowed me to understand what was initially intriguing. This was done so that I could get a good understanding of what my audience enjoys, ensuring that I don't take it out in case I personally do not like it. My general feedback was that they enjoyed the narrative and story, which was both comedic and serious at the same time. This was reassuring since that was my intention. I was keen on adding a sense of humour since my audience's age demographic is more likely to stay intrigued if they are laughing whilst learning; it keeps the audience listening, even in the serious parts. 

Moving on to my second question, I asked what my group thought I could improve on. Now, I am aware that this question is slightly vague. However, it meant that it was widely open to interpretation. This meant that my audience could state the first thing that came to mind on what was missing, allowing me to know what the biggest parts of improvement were. This question actually gave me a range of different responses. The first response was that there wasn't any background music, which did not create a sound atmosphere, with this in mind, I will look to add appropriate background music, which will help add some flavour to my show. The second response was that she had heard "white noise" in the background, which made the sound quality less pleasing. To fix this, I will try to isolate the vocal sounds, which will hopefully remove this. The third response was that the actor was, at times, too close to the mic, which created a "banging" sound afterwards. This is a feature that is most definitely prominent after reviewing my radio drama again, and I will look to choose different recorded versions of the dialogue instead. Lastly, I was informed that there were not any sound effects, which made the drama at times jarring when we were going through flashbacks and forwards. I've figured that I will use a cliché transition sound to emphasise this transition.

On to my third question, I decided to go a little more specific and prompted, "Were there any missing foley sound effects that you think I could have added." This question allowed me to understand exactly where they felt that there were missing sound effects. Therefore, I would be able to adjust where the audience felt a little isolated. The responses were door noises, murmuring and footsteps. This was a very good spot, and I will make sure to sprinkle this across my radio drama. I have identified spots which are in need, specifically during the pub scene and police station scene. These sound effects were said to create a sense of "verisimilitude" once added, thus helping my audience to fully submerge in my radio drama and feel as though they are in the same room.

My final question was what genre/ theme of music I should use for my radio drama, considering the feel of what it felt like overall. The audience suggested something upbeat whilst also being mellow to reflect both the comedic and serious parts of the drama. They also suggested, in terms of background music, that I should also use that kind of music per what is being said during the radio drama. This is a point that I will look out for as I edit my radio drama, and I will ensure that my radio drama has something upbeat and also chilling.

Analysis of first draft

Within my first draft there is a lot of key features that are missing, which are stopping my radio drama from being engaging and actually seeming like one.

The first thing that I have realised is that I am missing a jingle/ introductory music. Instead, my radio drama jumps straight into the dialogue which means that some people who are listening may not be aware of what is currently going on. Thus, this makes my radio drama unrecognisable which will not help my radio drama grow in the long run. In order to fix this, I will add a suitable introductory music in hopes to solve this problem.

Another thing that I had noticed is that the voices sound to be too close to the microphone. This was spotted straight away at 0:03 when the host says "people." This breaks any sense of verisimilitude, since we are divided with this unnatural wind sound. In order to fix this issue, I will make sure to either: re-record the line, lower the overall volume, or add a voice effect which could mask this sound. This will help to make the audience feel more connected with my host, making it more likely for the audience to finish the episode calmly.

Moreover, there is an absence of foley sound effects. I noticed that at moments like when Daniel is meant to be at the pub, it's hard to understand that since it doesn't sound like he is in that environment. Additionally, towards the end Daniel's voice is heard to be getting quieter as if he is leaving the room, although this is quite vague as we can't understand if it a mistake or if it is intentional. Therefore, I've decided that I am going to record some busy pub noises and foot steps in these areas, in hopes to anchor these meanings. Additionally, the cut between a flashback and flashforward is also very vague and I realised this when I was unable to sometimes tell a difference in the voices. Therefore, I will add a recognisable transition sound which will hopefully help guide my listeners.

And lastly, I believe that my radio drama requires some background music. Although this is not very common in many radio dramas, it is common in the docu-drama sub genre. By adding this to my radio drama, I hope that it will add a tense feeling to the atmosphere. Additionally, as mentioned before I will be able to subconsciously allow the audience to prepare for what they should expect, whether it's something serious or light-hearted.

SWOT Analysis of First Draft

STRENGTHS

My first draft presents a generally intriguing storyline. Through the dialogue, the characters speak quite ambiguously at the start in attempt to create tension and suspense. This then leads up to the re-enactment of what was said in the interviews. Through the intermitting interviews and scenes, it helps to lead the viewers on; the interviewers ask the questions the audience should be thinking and slowly unravels the enigmas hidden throughout the drama.

WEAKNESSESS

Throughout the first draft there is a sense of inconsistency and abruptness which creates a jarring feeling to the audience. This is demonstrated though the unclear cuts between the flashbacks and flash forwards. Additionally, there is a lack of sound effects and music which makes the radio drama harder to indulge into. Foley sounds, perhaps of chattering or camera shuttering, will be needed in order to fill the void of verisimilitude. Moreover, some of the voice recordings sound to be too close to the mic. In order to fix this I may lower the volume of the overall track, or I may select a different version of the line I recorded. 

OPPORTUNITIES

Financially the radio drama will be zero cost to film (personally). Since the equipment will be borrowed from school, it means I won't have to buy the resources I need myself. Additionally, the radio drama will be filmed inside of school which means that I will be able to acquire a place that my actors can easily commute to, since they go to the school, and quietly record in. My actors will also be filming separately at different times which will help to ensure recording is much easier. The radio drama will also be posted on youtube which is a very famous and popular website which almost everyone can access, thus making distribution easier.

THREATS

Since my radio drama will be filmed during school time, it means that I will have to ensure that either my actors share the same free period as me, or their teacher will have to allow them to leave class in order to record. It will also mean that we will have just over an hour to record, making room for mess-ups minimal. This means that I will have to plan accordingly and efficiently to ensure that recording goes as smoothly as possible.
