Considerations
The sound format I will be exporting my sound file is AIFF. Garage band will be used to record the Dark Secrets drama. Using Garage band makes it easy to export the audio and it ensures that the sound quality does not get affected. And since the file is uncompressed sound therefore again it will not lose any quality or data. - This is called Generation Loss, which occurs when a file keeps being copied and compressed, affecting its quality and making it unclear or muffled.
I will save the files on my school student documents and as a back up I'll be using Outlook drive and a USB stick to store all of my recordings. So, in case something unexpected happens and the files get wiped there is always the other backup options. Or it could be that while recording some sounds gets cut off, then if this occurs it is simple to just get the recording again from the backups stored. Using a USB stick means it is easy to store the files on my computer again and then drag them onto Garage band. Using these simple methods could avoid over complications. Friday, 20 May 2022

This is low risk because it is not common for files to get corrupted so easily. To avoid this from happening we will work carefully and efficiently.
This will be handled by using the Constraint grid. As this contains all the Legal and Ethical constraints regarding Radio Dramas.
There are Schedules and Alignment that will prevent this issue. All staff members will have these documents. However, there could still be issues such as traffic that may affect the programme. There aren’t that many wires compared to a recording studio which might be filmed. Because there aren’t lights, however there are still wires and cables that are everywhere so it might be hazardous if someone doesn’t pay attention and trips over them. To avoid these things will be kept tidy. To avoid this from happening food and drinks will be prohibited from the studio. |

It will be on air at 6:30pm on a Saturday more people will watch it, and airing it at evening means it becomes more likely a teenager will watch Dark Secrets. As in the evening time most teens are free so they are spending their time relaxing, and finding something new to watch.
Dark Secrets will have multiple parts which will air on Radio. The duration will be somewhere between 5 minutes each episode on a Saturday. It will focus on a new topic each few episodes that teenagers. Since this one is cyber danger, next one could be mental illness, or bullying etc.
This drama will be entertaining to listen to as it explores something unfamiliar. Which will appeal to young teenagers and young adults, since they are curious about a lot at that age. This also warns and educates the viewers about the possible dangers about the dark web, and strangers. This might help some people recognise if they are talking to a 'Jaden'.
