My role as editor means that I have the responsibility for the overall treatment of the drama, this involves the layout of the audio, the sound effects that are added and also the recording technique used. My duties are however are not just in post production, it is also my responsibility to select the equipment best suited to the producers needs and ensure it is all set up in the studio ready for the actors. For this production, we used 2 AKG 414 microphones arranged at right angles to create a stereo field, we also used a single Rhode stereo microphone placed just beneath the 414s, both arrangements recording simultaneously so that we had two different studio sounds to choose from when it came to post production. I was also in charge of operating the studio desk and Pro-Tools. My role means that it is crucial that I have thorough knowledge of the studio equipment and also the recording equipment and software.
