ACCESS

TRANSPORT LINKS TO LOCATION PHYSICAL ACCESS TO SITE

To get to the location I just have to walk. However, most
people either get the college bus that drops the students
off right outside the college, public bus then walk from
the bus stop to college, drive, or train then walk to
college.
I don’t have to physically access the site as I am a student at
the college. However, I do have my student ID which proves I’m
a student at the college and also allows me to open doors and
enter the college.

Precautions/measures taken to minimise the impact of your recording:

● Book out the Radio room so we’re not rushing
● Practice before we do it so we’ll be more confident when recording

have a good amount of time to adjust our work so we aren’t rushing.

Describe the aesthetics of the location (e.g. Describe the potential camera shots or describe the acoustic value of the location)

The aesthetics of the classroom are good as there is lots of space and light making it visible and safe to walk around.

The aesthetics of the radio room are good as it has air conditioning and the room is bright when the lights are turned on.
However, the room is small which could cause an accident.
