This subject is in the field of the audiovisual creation and production for third and fourth grade students. This field consists of nine subjects, the main aim of which is providing specific expertise about creative strategies in design, production, directing, editing and post-production messages in Audiovisual Communication.
In the particular case of Production and Directing Techniques in Radio, students will be trained in the creative process of the sound mise-en-scène in the production of a fiction radio program: the sound adaptatiion of the literary script, the sound profile design in radio programmes, time planning of the sound production, voice casting, musical setting, directing speakers and actors, making sound-scapes, sound post-production.
From the analysis of the literary scripts and dicussion forums about creative strategies most suitable for adaptation, the practical exercises in laboratory will lead students towards the production and editing of the all audio clips for the final recording, which it shall the basic piece for the evaluation.
1.- The sound mise-en-scène on radio. The sound adaptation of the literary script.
2.- The sound profile design in radio programmes.
3.- Script rewriting according to the global sound profile.
4.- Script rewriting according to creative strategies.
5.- Time planning of the sound production (rehearsal voices, location sound sources, recordings, digital post-production).
6.- Music production and technological planning of sound setting.
7.- Directing speakers and actors.
8.- Sound post-production.
The calendar will be available on the first day of class. Students will find all information on the Virtual Campus: the description of the activities, teaching materials, and any necessary information for the proper follow-up of the subject. In case of a change of teaching modality for health reasons, teachers will make readjustments in the schedule and methodologies.
This training area about the creative process in radio production and directing pick up on the prior knowledge and experience acquired by students in previous subjects about radio language, audiovisual script and speaking radio.
Theoretical contents in master class are at the service of practical exercises in Laboratory. In Master clases will be listened to the different radio programmes, with analysis and discussion.
The practical exercises are oriented to the planning, production and recording differents audio clips for the final post-production radio program.
Time devoted to preparing seminars and practical exercises belongs to the students’ autonomous tasks as well as readings and listenings proposed by the profesor.
