Analysis of Preliminary Task.

Writing the script for my preliminary task was relatively straight forward because it only included a jingle, a little bit of dialogue between two characters and a short archived clip.  The recording of the task, however, proved to be slightly more challenging because I was using the recording  equipment for the first time. This process helped me realise that choosing the right actors to read certain parts is important, as their voices may not be suited to the part. Another problem that I came across was that giving the actor the script early enough in advance is helpful for both me and the person reading the part because it will cause them to make less mistakes for example the presenter of my preliminary task pronounced the word Grweenwhich wrong. Another aspect of teh task that I could have done better was when  I recored both the voices I noticed that one sounded like it fit the part more than the other.  When I come to record my longer radio extract which will include much more dialogue I will ensure that I do this. Doing the preliminary talk has helped me get a feel for the recording equipment and how it’s used which will make recording and editing my radio extract a lot easier. Now that I know how to layer tracks on top of each other and more about how to edit I now feel more confident going forward to record my full extract.
