The radio broadcasting divided into three distinct stages:
• Pre – production
Brainstorming on the programme and research to gather
background information materials are the two subdivisions at this stage. Idea
may be generated through observation, experiment or innovation. Some programmes
are produced on the basis of an audience demand while some others are on the basis
of recent events like a festival or a calamity. What we prepare at this stage
are an outline script which details the programme to be produced and a rundown
sheet which gives a day by day and hour by hour definition of when, where and
what we will be recording. What makes the pre-production stage perfect is to
prepare a timeframe and manage the entire team to follow it.
• Production
Production in radio programming is basically recording the
sound. It may take indoor or outdoor. They are called studio production and
field production respectively. While recording sound the producer shall ensure
the quality of sound, perfection of recording and reduction of noise or
interruptions. Micro phones, recorder unit, headphone socket, standard
batteries, recording media, power supply, headphones etc. are some of the
devices we use in field recording. In studio, all these devices would be
readily available.
• Post Production
The first stage in post-production is to carefully listen to
the recorded sound and select the portion which the producer would like to
include in the final programme. It is recommended to record as much material as
possible to choose from, to make the final session easier and programme more
creative. The process of selecting and listing material required for final
programme is called logging. Editing is the process of arranging selected
portion of the recorded sound in a logical and creative manner to form the
final programme. During the editing phase, we include sound effects to the
final product. Editing is performed on the basis of the final script prepared
using the outline script and observation notes.
