Casting:

Are the actors appropriate for the role?

 As this is an amateur production, i was rather limited in my options - making up only a
class of fellow students also busy with work - so as to help with that limitation, id
deliberately placed myself within the genre tropes of a famously amateur genre, thus
excusing what may be otherwise considered bad acting with appropriate acting.

As such, i feel confident in the selection of my two co-actors; Sam Turnbull as the Police
Chief, and Daniel Crocker as Greg Savage - one whose overly-dramatic dialogue allows
for a rather over-the-top performance given by someone genuinely interested in the
genre being portrayed, and the weaker more subdued voice of Daniel - whilst limited by
accent - is a perfect fit for the whiny and scared mannerisms of Greg (Please Refer to
the MP3 File Below for Auditions.)

How are you recording/editing the voice acting?

Voice Acting is done to a studio quality; including industry standard microphones and
editing equipment. The studio setup is designed specifically for high-quality, noise-free
audio to which i can then edit on foley and other elements of mise-en-scene.

Editing is to be complete using Premiere Pro CC 2017, and exported as an MP3 file - i
understand this isnt exactly industry standard for radio drama, but its what i am most
used to (See evidence of edit below.)
Contingency Plan

Due to heavy time constraints, retakes are difficult to organize, as such its likely that any
issues within production will have to be sorted by me personally - including voice acting.
Following that i may have to take the roles of my two actors as substitutes. (Spoilers: i
did.)

Production:

(Evidence of my rehearsal is located below.)

Performance and Directing Talent

Recording the performances was done in a simple conversational format - one character
speaking to the other in a majority of cases - this was done as to simplify the production
and keep a level of flow between multiple actors that allowed for the conversational
 format of many dialogue heavy scenes to feel realistically paced without heavy editing in
post.

Talent was directed to be as over-the-top as possible, supplying a large part of the

comedic effect of the characters and story, and expressing the characters personality
and range with effect.

Live Sound Effects?

Sound effects are to be purely stock only - this is for several reasons:
1. The simpler nature of taking pre-recorded sound effects helps to make the
production simpler to create, spending far less of our time budget on sound
effects.
2. It fits within the genre conventions; the dramas stylistic identity as a terrible old
80s buddy-cop story is only made better with accurately terrible acting and sound
effects; every stock explosion asset only helps to increase the dramas identity
within the genre.
3. The artificiality of the dramas writing and nature as parody is made far more
aware due to the artificiality of the sound effects; it separates the piece from the
audiences sense of immersion and helps the audience view the piece as a
deconstruction of the genre rather than just a comedy.

Recording and Post-production

Recording was done through our colleges Zoom Mics, this was done for a couple of
reasons;
1. Their portability and ease of use makes them perfect for the busy schedule i was
working around.
2. They have a crisp and clear audio quality if used correctly
3. It saved in an organized format on MicroSD, so would be easily movable.

Post-production was extremely crucial for creating the audio style i wanted; for one,
music helped a lot in setting tone and creating the location through musical cues. Aural
signposting was commonly used as youd expect - doors banging and cars revving
signaling the audience to the actions in play. Other than the basic techniques of the
production, attention was taken to audio balancing, mastering, and clarity of voice.

Sound was organized thoroughly into multiple categorized files as listed below:
