Location Recce

 When looking at where I shall be recording parts of my radio show, I have decided to use these specific locations:

CHADWELL HEATH ACADEMY

To be able to record dialogue for my radio show, I have chosen Chadwell Heath Academy as I will be able to borrow microphones and other equipment and be able to go into a quiet room and record. If there is any need for help I can also go to my technician easily. This choice of location can save me a lot fo time, especially because there is no watching, only listening, so the audience won't be able to tell that we are in a school setting. From this, I can also collect the audio recordings right after we've finished recording.

CRUCIBLE PARK

I was thinking of recording in this location in order to bring in some background sounds of people chattering, nature sounds, and walking, etc. This is also quite a good location as it is right next to the school, so if I am in need of recording those specific sounds I can quickly borrow recording equipment during lesson or lunch time and record the different sounds. The only important thing to focus on is getting the timing right for when people will be in the park, and when people won't be so I an easily record isolated sound effects then wide atmospheric sounds.

MY HOUSE

For specifically recording sounds like doors creaking, sitting down on chairs, walking up/down stairs and more, I can use my house to record as it incudes all the details. Before recording in this location I must make sure that my family members (if present in the house) remain silent for the duration of me recording the different sounds. This can also lead the audience to relate with the surrounding sounds of the comfort of their own homes.
