Media 24/03/09

I have been into studio 6 today to record my voice (the presenter) and i recorded two takes of the script which were both successfull to my suprise. I burnt a CD with my Jingle and outdoor recordings on it, this was done to minimize complications so that i could play them one after the other when i needed to.

After listening to them both, i chose the second take as it sounded better, so the first got deleted. I put it on the Ndrive and edited it using Audacity to cut out the blanks and the stutters, i also tried to put in a backing track for the headlines using Garageband but it didnt quite fit in with the seriousness with the news that was being read out.

I have saved a copy of the whole news project onto disk, so as i understand, i have only my evaluation to complete.

Overall, i can say that i am very pleased with it.

As it stands, i am currently up to date with my recording.

I have recorded two of the three stories i have made up, 'Train Crash' and 'Car Crash', both of which i have managed to put in realistic sound effects to make them sound as if my chosen people are live reporters and policemen on the scene interviewing witnesses and giving out statements.

i still have to record my last story which is about the drought in Frome and i still have to record me, in the studio, introducing my stories as if i were on the radio, other than that i am on track.

My next and upcoming task will be to combine all these scenes together to make a news update.

As far as assignments go i have an upcoming evaluation on my projects this year, which will be completed before the easter halfterm.

Train Accident

Westbury Train station has now been closed down for a number of weeks, if not months while investigations take place after an EWS freight train collided into the back of a London Paddington bound train on platform 3. The driver of the EWS train was taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition and seven people who were on the London Bound train were treated on the scene for whiplash. It is not yet clear how the collision happened. Live at the scene we have our reporter with a witness of the accident. We now go live to the scene.

“Hi yes I am here at Westbury’s Railway Station and I have here a witness who has just seen the accident. So what did you see whilst you were on the platform?”
“Well the London train had just come in and people started to open doors and exit the train. I was stood at the rear of the train waiting to get on when I heard a loud horn being blown, the horn was being blown repeatedly and it started getting louder, I then heard the trains breaks. I looked round and saw the freight train crash into the back of my train which got shunted a few meters. Passengers standing up got thrown forward from the impact. After the crash, we got everyone off and out the station”.
“ok well thank you for that and we will keep you updated on whats happening throughout the week”

“At approximately 5:30am this morning, a couple have died on the A36 near Frome’s ASDA. We believe that the accident happened after they tried to overtake a tractor in their Renault Cleo on a blind bend, they then came face to face with an oncoming Mercedes and had tried to swerve only to clip the car, they then veered off into a tree. They were found dead at the scene and we are asking for any witnesses to come forward and contact us”.

Frome’s Drought

Frome’s long term drought has caused the number of stroke patients to rise to its highest level in over a decade. Doctors are urging the public to drink plenty of water or risk getting sun stroke, especially the elderly, teens and the young. According to the met office we are due another week of hot weather of temperatures reaching 42’c. After that it is estimated that the drought will cause a mega thunderstorm and from then on the temperature should get back to its normal levels but doctors say carry on drinking until then.
