P4 - Production Evidence

Production Techniques:

• First of all, I collected/recorded my sound bites and put them all into a folder
• I then moved them all into an Adobe Audition mix session to put them together and edit them
• I amplified my commentary so it was audible above the background music, and decreased the volume of the music itself. I then edited the background music so it changed volume when the commentary started. I even changed it so it faded to silence during the summary of my review product
• I then added my vox pops and amplified their volume so they were more audible
• I added and amplified the rest of my commentary, before clipping out any unwanted parts (stuttering, pauses, etc) with the razor tool
• I also experimented with different audio effects to see what worked, such as amplifying the audio on only one side to see if it decreased any background noise
• After that, I added my final sound bite (more background music/the outro) to my podcast and edited the volume and key points so the volume changes at the right time.
• I also made it so the outro fades out after the volume change, so it doesn’t end so abruptly
