Today went better than I expected it to go. I actually managed to wake up on time, have a quick wash, ate breakfast and then preceded to get to college with a bit time to spare. I was really chuffed as I haven’t been that great with mornings recently, to be fair I was starting to loathe them as. But yeah, it did help that I was okay with the radio drama for a change. Don’t get me wrong, I still have the same negative feelings about the course which includes the annoyance that they axed the radio lessons I preformed well in. The last meeting I had with them haven’t improved things for me.
What did I do in the Radio drama lesson you may be asking? In this session we recorded the group that is doing a radio drama to put in a seriously simple terms, about a fight over breakfast cereal. I think its rather well written and its amusing as it have loads of comedy as it have well known TV and Film characters in it. The set up for recording the radio dramas is abit like a live tv set up where there is two different rooms. One room for the studio and the other room to do stuff with the output. We had a camera and the microphones feeding to the room I was in as they was plugged into the snake (a extension lead for video/audio really). We could give them directions to what to do with the talk back headset. It was good fun for me however my neck hurt as I kept having to look over my shoulder to see the telly as the computer was facing a different wall. Why you need to look at both things you may ask? Cause I had no script downstairs so I needed to see who was preforming so I knew what levels I need to play with.
