Some problems I may encounter when producing my podcast:
- Equipment damage
- Camera running of battery
- Footage loss
- deadline
- Technical difficulties (computer clash, editing progress is lost, required software not working etc.)
How I can prevent these problems:
- Make sure that the camera is in a camera bag with the lens cap
- Ensure that the camera battery is charged along with the spare camera batteries
- Make sure to check the camera every 20 minutes to see if it has stopped recording and make sure to never delete the footage of from the camera SIM just in case the footage from the desktop/USB are deleted
- Ensure that I keep using the tracking sheet to help me get things done before the deadline for the FMP
- Save my work while I do my work to prevent my work being lost in case technical problems occurs suddenly.
- I tested the mics before recording to make sure that the audio recorder and the mics were working well, but one of the mic wires weren't functioning which caused the mic to not pickup any sound, so the the audio recorder recorded my voice with it's built in mic.
- I flipped my camera screen towards me so I can see what is being recorded and check whether my camera would stop recording, it did and I simply hit record again without loosing footage of any part of our discussion.
- I did not charge the camera batteries enough for it to last as long as I wanted, so I decided to do an audio version of my podcast and will use images in my edit to show any necessary evidence/reference to the audience.
- At the beginning of recording, the audio quality from the mics turned out to not pick up our voices well as it is a directional mic and mine didn't work well so I decided to use camera audio for the first half of my podcast episode and the second half form the mic recordings.
