M1 - Identify resolutions to the legal and ethical issues for production For this radio production I had to consider different legal and ethical issues that I could come across. For example the use of the background music in the radio segment had to be royalty free, in order to make it accessible and usable in the product so that there isn't any legal issues to deal with. This also applies to all other soundtrack, music and sound elements used from different sources, which had to be copyright free in order to legally use it. Some soundtrack did not need any legal requirement as they have been recorded by me, therefore I had the freedom of using them without any problems or anything regarding copyright issues. Furthermore the use of people's voices and their interviews needed to have a consent signed by them. This is to make sure their voice has been appropriately and legally assembled and used in a legal and safe manner. Anyone who was over 16 year of age had to sign the...

This is a screenshot of the software and shows how it has been edited. The big orange bar at the top shows the sound that has been selected to be edited. Next to it there is another bar showing its name, in this case 'Family'. This is a screenshot of how the automation has been used to mix and have a control changing and mixing the sounds. This has been done selecting choose mix, at the top, then show automation and by clicking it the track area of the menu bar it appears, so that it can be edited.

The two orange bars at the top demonstrates how some sound elements have been split in order to suit the product and have the appropriate sounds needed. Also the yellow lines inside the boxes show how the audio levels have been adjusted to match the sou...

P5 - Record the different sound elements This is picture of me recording some sounds using the Zoom H5 Recorder. In order to create and record sound elements, I had to adopt a Zoom H5 Recorder, so that I can record some sounds and have control over: in the sense that I can see how many sounds I need, make sure it is not too long, make sure it is loud enough or the preferred volume. While using the Zoom H5 Recorder, to begin with I had to check the battery was present and charged, as well as having the SD card so that it is ready to record. Then I had to switch it on by sliding the button with a power sign next to it. After doing this the display of the recorder would open. Then it needs to be formatted so that there is enough space to record. Also the settings need to be checked and made sure there in the right format of recording mode. Then the input should be selected and by adjusting and monitoring the levels it is ready to use to recored the sound. T...
