90 second radio for Audio (part 2) listening back and changes

Using the previous 90 second news report of Ed and Lorraine Warren I want to make an up-date news report for the Unit 5.

This time I wanted to re-listen to my audio of Ed and Lorraine Warrens museum and find way to change it to make it better.

Listening back to to the 90 second radio clip I did on the Warren museum There are some good things on like learning things about Ed and Lorraine and the museum, but there are a few mistakes like the music.

With the music I wanted to make it shorter so I edited it but now listening to it again I just does sound right plus you can tell when I cut it and moved it the next piece, even though it's the same music piece, Quinn's Song- The Dance Begins I should have just found part of the song that sounded good and took that piece not take one piece and add another piece of it together. Another is as it finishes it just finishes quick where I think would be better is have the music fade away and maybe fade in as the music comes back on at the end if that can happen.

The second is the voices, because I did the talking twice (the second is adding more information that I missed out) So when combining them together you can hear that one voice is louder then the other voice and a bit more clearer. I I should have done is said the whole speech again all at the same time. Even though I used the same microphone I not sure why one sound louder then the other. I also notice the sounds in the background around 0.44-0.58 so I will also have to redo that line again.

What really bugs me is how I sound. To me it's not really clear even though you can understand what I am saying it still sounds weird. Another is that is stumble a bit. I am reading off a sheet so I know what to say but I still made mistakes.

The last one is the age, with Lorraine's I said she was 87 when really she's 89 not sure why I thought she was 87 but I said it. By next Thursday Lorraine is going to be 90 years old but I think I'll stick to her being 89 since that how old she was when I started but I might say 90.

With the 90 second radio news on Ed and Lorraine Warren Their are lots of mistakes that needs improving. What I'm planning on doing is Redoing the jingle music, redo the volume for the quitter part (might re-record it again so it's one long speech) and re-record Lorraine age but i might re-say the whole script again so that it might sound better.

The script - Reds are redo's (but I might just redo the whole speech)

Hi, I'm Megan Early and on today’s paranormal news the Warren’s Occult Museum has been closed due to zoning regulation and are looking for a new location.
The Warren Occult museum is located in New England, Connecticut; Founded in 1950 by Ed and lorraine Warren. The Warrens were well known paranormal invesigators in the late 1950's. Ed was a demonologist and Lorraine is a clairvoyant.
Over the years the couple investigated over 10,000 hauntings and collected haunted items which are now locked away in the Warrens basement.
The Warrens are known for their biggest cases like the Perron family which was re-made into the the film The conjuring In which Lorraine Warren was a consultant to the production and made a short appears in the film. Another famous case is the Annabelle doll which nows sits the the warrens museum
In 2006 Ed Warren sadly passed away, leaving behind his wife Lorraine and their daughter, Judy . Lorraine now 89 runs the museum along with her son in law Tony Spera.
For more information about the warrens and the museum visit their website at www.warrens.net. Thank you for listen, this is Megan Early and the paranormal news.

The different and simulates.

The simulates with director and script writer is that they are both creative jobs. they both need people who can imagine and put whats on paper onto a set and make it into a film or TV show. They both work behind the camera as well does the job, Studio Technician at Aardman except when recording the director and writer both work behind the camera when recording aTV show episode.

The difference is the creative and they use it. Writers they think and research and put it all on paper, Directors they take and read al of the script by the writers and they imagine how it should look and what the actor should go. Studio Technician at Aardman is creative with make characters from materials.
