Cross-platform blog week four, days four and five

Day four; Today we recorded our groups audio artefact in the studio. We recorded the voices for the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale, Chris voiced the narrator, Lorenza voiced Little Red Riding Hood, Dougal was the wolf and Cristianna was the mother and grandmother. While we were in the studio Lorenza also voiced the fairy godmother's voice which is audio that will be incorporated onto the website. Tonight I helped Chris out with the presentation by writing up my notes on the position in the marketplace of our product 'Varytales', and where its niche in the market is. (Educational value) I also researched which products are its main competition in the market and the crossover between interactivity, entertainment, and soft learning.

Day five;
Today we had a radio academic clinic with Tim Wright who has written a cross-platform drama
'Say What You Want To Hear' (S W Y W T H) for radio four. We learned the value of interactivity to cross-platform radio productions. Today I also helped Chris in the editing suite in Audition editing the audio we recorded in studio yesterday. For organisation we had each different characters voices on a different multitrack so we could order them easily. As well as this we used the BBC sound Fx library to add sound Fx like a creaking door, footsteps going upstairs, woodland ambience, indoor ambience (a fireplace), a thud for the killing of the wolf and a burp for when grandma gets saved.
