D2: Evaluate the flow of programme content and audio levels

-
Image
In this post, I will compare the codes and conventions within a real radio show and how I followed them in my own show. I will also explore the structure of the show and the most effective ways to create an engaging experience. Throughout the editing process I had to ensure that all of the hosts appeared to be the same volume, which meant increasing the volume of Alice's talking as in many scenes it was too quiet or too far away from the microphone. To avoid issues with distance in the future, I would give the hosts their own microphones, which would increase the quality of the speech.  DO THE CODE CONVENTIONS PART When creating my radio show, I ensured I followed codes and conventions such as sound, music, dead air, jingles, adverts and more..... I common convention of a radio show is a call-in segment. Capital have call in segments to share re opinions, chat with fans of the show and for their competitions. Similarly to Capital FM, my show has a call-in segment because I wanted l

D1: Codes & Conventions

-
In this blog I will be explaining how I followed codes and conventions of my chosen radio genre and research how they are used in Capital FM. It is important to follow codes and conventions to maximise success and achieve audience expectations. There are many codes I must follow throughout my radio show such as speech, music, sound and the use of silence. The dialogue of the show is fast and exciting as it is a positive, happy and celebratory show about festivity. Music will also be used as it is entertaining and will help to eliminate any dead air at the end of a conversation.  I  will use fast paced background music throughout the entire advert to create urgency in the audience. Also, the music can be used to signify a change in conversation or segment. The music is remixed so we can se it on our show without fear of royalties. HOW HAVE YOU NOTICED THIS IN YOUR CHOSEN RADIO SHOW The structure of Capital FM can vary depending on the format and style of the particular show or may vary

M3: Legal & Ethical

-
Image
In this post, I will research the legal and ethical issues of a radio show that I must take into account when making my own radio show. I will also discuss the regulatory bodies that relate to a radio show. Ofcom: The Office of Communications (Ofcom) is a regulatory body that sets laws for radios. All radio shows must have their own license to produce and publish. There are codes on their website that states what every radio show must follow: ASA: The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) regulates all advertisements on the radio.  There are codes on their website that everyone must follow, there are separate codes for broadcast and non-broadcast adverts: Legal: There are many different laws and regulations I need to follow to ensure my radio show is legally and ethically correct. There will be punishments that would be enforced if I do not follow these things, such as going to prison, being sued for copyright infringement, cause offence to people. In this report, I will discuss the di

M2: Explain the processes and technologies involved in producing a radio broadcast

-

In this post I will be discussing the uses of different hardware and software and how they will impact the production of my radio show. I will discuss both strengths and weaknesses of each. Hardware : Microphones & Headphones: The microphones are used to record the talking of the hosts and guests. The microphones shouldn't be too close to the people as it may pick up the breathing or movements and the microphones have wind protectors to make sure the breathing isn't picked up and so that other noises aren't picked up while recording. A radio show cannot be created without microphones as it is needed for the audio. Headphones: Headphones are required when including guests on the show so that you can hear what they are saying. Also, if you are talking to someone in person or have multiple hosted then everyone will need there own pair. It's better to have a audio splitter incase the computer only has one audio jack.  Just incase the guests have preferences to do with e

P5: Record and edit a section of the planned UK radio programme.

Rushes: The rushes are all useable as they are high quality and there are no background noises. There was part of a clip during the Millie's phone call where I had to cut as she began stuttering however it wasn't completely bad and was very easily fixed. All of the clips are able to be used however if there was any clips that had background noise I would have to re-record them.  Throughout the process of recording I improved as I learned how to set up the equipment and learned how to record on Adobe Audition and how to put the audio together and add effects on Premier Pro. Also, my presenting skills improved drastically from the show and advert.   Offline Edit: The offline edit is the order of the show without any edits or effects. It shows the structure of the show and the time of each segment without any editing or additional sounds. This is the raw files before I made amendments to the show. Most audio in this was recorded in Adobe Audition and exported to Premier Pro. Edit
