P4: Planning

-

In unit 2, I developed skills to create pre-production documents and learned the importance of pre-production to speed up both production and post-poduction. Planning a media product makes creating it alot simpler as i only have to follow the ideas i made.

As a group we are going to create a Christmas themes radio show. The purpose of the show is to entertain a wide audience with festive music and segments. The show would air mid-day as it is suitable for ages and will achieve the most active listeners. The show will contain Christmas talk from the hosts, Yorkshire Wildlife Park advert, music and a phone-in segment. We will create our own Jingles which will include noises like bells and cheerful music. Although I will not spend any money to complete this radio, I could use my knowledge from Unit 1 and crowd fund by marketing my show and gaining social proof for this show. Also, I could gain sponsorship from the Yorkshire Wildlife Park for the advertisement, which could fund the money for the equipment and time for the show. 

I will need a microphone to record the talking and other sounds and have a computer to record and save the files on. I will Adobe Audition when recording and will edit the show on Premier Pro. 

In this show we will have all roles split equally, for example everyone will complete an equal amount of pre-production documents and everybody will record and edit their own sections. Alice will create the mindmap and advert script, I will create the production schedule, location recce and asset log and Isaac will complete the script, jingle and risk assessment. This will give us plenty of time to create our pre-production amongst us and making corrections and improvements to ensure the production of our radio show goes without any problems.


 Initial planning:

Mind map




Jingle

We wanted a sound effect that excited both kids and adults. While we were planning we decided it would be a great idea to involve the voices of children and adults, which also portrays the suitability of our show from the very beginning. 

We will include sound effects such as children laughing, sleigh bells and voices from people of different ages which will be edited together on Premier Pro.


Weekly production schedule




The advert is going to be for the new Pangea experience at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which is local to Doncaster. We will include sound effects such as dinosaurs and will have fun music to entice people. We will need to record our scripted segments however the sound effects are going to be gathered from a subscription service (epidemicsound.com). The scripted segment will include information about the Yorkshire Wildlife Park and how suitable it is for an entire family. Below is the script for the advert segment:

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

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

-
Image
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

M3: Legal & Ethical

-

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
