Legal/ethical:

Foley, dialogue and atmospheric sounds will be recorded by myself, however some sound effects need to be obtained from online sources such as the BBC or other news sites. This includes discussions of Brexit and various announcements made by important politicians involved in the decision. These sound effects are needed to help enhance the storytelling whilst having no image component. Some audio clips on the internet are copyrighted so I will collect these sounds from a non-copyright sources and websites which allow their content to be used by third parties. I will also avoid asking any sensitive questions in the interview that may offend the guest or the listeners. Questions such as "Do you not care about the consequences" will not be appropriate as the wording may cause offense and reveal a bias. Depending on the guest's preference, I will ask him whether or not he wants his name to be revealed.

Risk assessment:

Hazards	Persons potentially affected	Potential damaged property	Risk controls in place	Risk assessment	Action required if risk occurs
Water bottle	N/A	Any and all electrical equipment	Keep water at a safe distance away from technology	Low	Dry equipment and apologise to owner
Hard flooring	Myself or my interviewee could be harmed if they were to walk across the floor and be tripped up by equipment that hasn’t been appropriately set up	If an individual were to fall over they could also damage necessary equipment to the recording of the podcast	Make sure there is a fair amount of space between the interviewee and the technology at hand	Low	Seek a medical doctor to help with any injuries
Equipment and wires	Myself or my interview, either of us are at risk but I am the most likely to move around and potentially be tripped up	If I or my interviewee were to trip we’d likely snap the wire from its source therefore potentially damaging it and other equipment	Looking where I’m going is the best defence against a risk like this. Same goes for my interviewee. I would also inform my interviewee of the cables.	Low	Seek a medical doctor to help with any injuries

Location assessment:

The location is a college classroom and the interview will take place there. I will be recording the interview during class time therefore avoiding large amounts of corridor noise. This is crucial, as I need to record the dialogue with as little to no background noise as possible as the additional noise could compromise the quality of the podcast. Any additional sound for SFX sequences will be taken from online sources, and not from this room.
