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

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

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
