Risks and hazards
Chairs and cables in the middle of the room - Cast and crew could be harmed - We've cleaned up the cables and put them out of the way and tucked any chairs we weren't using away in order to prevent someone tripping
Trapping your fingers in the door of the room - Cast and crew could be harmed - We made sure the door was closed at all times to avoid someone accidentally catching their fingers in it

Depictions of violence:
The use of violence in our show or indeed any other criminal act fails well within Ofcom's guidelines, the material is not insightful in any way as stated here. However we will have to show our piece of post-watershed in order to fall within these guidelines.
Copyright:
We all made sure that the sounds and music that we use in our own individual radio drama's are copyright and royalty free, or we make sure that the sounds and music are allowed to be used if the creator is allowed.
Dark Themes:
Our programme contains no offensive language or hate speech, however there are scenes that some viewers may be uncomfortable with, for example two men break into a news station and start taking hostages. No one is killed or hurt, that is why it will be okay to broadcast our piece post watershed for an audience of 18-25 year olds; as according to the Ofcom Broadcasting Code here.

Pre-Production Week:
Firstly we came together to decide what script we were going to do after having created our own scripts. Our group split up into a team of two, and a team of three to work on pitches. We then had to make a pitch about the script our group of 3 had chosen and present it to the class to get feedback. After both groups presented the pitches, the script that received the most positive feedback was the script we chose. The script we went with was originally Luke's idea however we changed it to Connie's as we felt it was better and it had received better feedback. Before doing any recording, we had a group meeting and decided who would be playing which character in the radio-drama and once we all decided, we commenced practising the dialogue doing a run through prior to recording and made changes that we saw were needed. After the script was edited we then all printed copies so that we didn't need to keep passing the script around to each other while record.
Production Week:
We followed the production process by making sure we stuck to our times that were booked and put down on the production schedule. If someone didn't turn up, we made sure that we still used the space that we booked, as we could easily record the persons lines who didn't turn up. We all also made sure that one of sound effects or music that we gathered had no copyright issues.
On the script we made sure there were no swear words so it'll be suitable for the 15-25 target audience as well as making sure we didn't include too much violence. We booked the rooms in advance to ensure we had a place to record in.
We also all tested the equipment before recording in order to make sure that the equipment is working properly and that it was safe. In case we ran out of power in the microphones, we took spare batteries so that we could carry on recording. We also took 2 spare microphones in case one/two were to stop working during the session.
Post Production Week:
After the production week, we all started editing the radio drama in Adobe Audition and whilst editing we all noticed that we needed to do some re-shoots of some certain scenes and decided to book a room for re-shoots. During post production we all started working on paper work, splitting the work up between us all. I collected a large library of sound effects from sites that were copyright and royalty free, so that we'd have no problems with the sounds used in the editing and placed them all into labelled folders before sharing them with everyone.
How I followed safe working practise:
Before we started recording in a room, we had to make sure that we booked it and that we could use that room. Once we knew we were allowed to use the room and it came to recording time, we went into the room and made sure that the location was good enough and that there wasn't too much ambient noise. We then checked if the equipment was working well by testing it before using it and when the equipment was setup we made sure that all the wires and everything else was put away safely so that no one could trip up and get injured. A way we avoided this was by sitting down on chairs with the microphone in the middle of the table so that we're not all standing around. We also had location recces to know whether the place would be good enough to record in and to see what risks might cause problems so that when we record we know what to do.
While editing the audio, I sat upright and at a reasonable distance from the screen making sure it was eye-level with me to avoid eye strain. As well as this I kept the brightness as bright as the room I'm in to avoid straining my eyes.
