I used a zoom mic for recording my interview and atmospheric sounds. Its a wireless microphone therefore already eliminating loose cables as a tripping hazard. I made sure this had full battery and had spares on hand just incase it ran out. I recorded in a clear area, with and food and drink well away from where the subject and I were conducting the interview meaning there were no dangers of anything being spilt on the zoom mic or my laptop. The only people in the flat was myself an the interviewee so, crowding wasn't an issue in terms of safety. There were fire alarms and exits, incase of emergency however being on the second floor would've increased this risk if anything happened where we would have had to leave the building.
b) Following the Audio Script
Above is my original audio script, I used this when editing together my podcast and mostly kept to the time guide that I had set. However when I wrote this audio script, I forgot to include the sound effects. I added the sound effect into the edit just after the first bit of music played before the interview started. I created a new, updated audio script to go with my final edited piece.
d) Following Production Processes
Before recording my interview, I recorded a test run with room noise and had my subject speak as they would for the interview. Upon playback of the test I was able to decide and alter the levels of input on my microphone, in this case I had to decrease the input levels so the audio wasn't to loud.
When recording for my sound effects (footsteps through a forest) I forgot to take an audio test so unfortunately, the audio was to quiet and you were unable to hear the sound effects. Due to this I and lack of more time, I had to find a similar royalty free sound effect from Youtube.
