Introduction

I am a 6th form student at Congleton High, studying Media Studies, Music and Product Design. Here you will find all of the elements to my Media Studies project

Planning and Research

TASK 1:

Gathering a range of moods through sound bites-

For this task i had to create a variety of sound bites using ‘GarageBand’ , these were created to enhance different feelings and emotions within the audience if they were to listen. Sounds are a key part to the success of a radio broadcast, as they are created to create a link between the listener and radio show, therefore remembering the broadcast so that they will listen again.

TASK 2:

Researching possible outside broadcasts

Within the majority of Radio news broadcasts there are ‘outside broadcasts’ in which a reporter is at the scene of a headline. The effect of these broadcasts enable a greater sense of community for listeners.

TASK 3:

Deconstructing Radio jingles

In this task i had to take two different jingles from two different radio shows. This gave me a greater knowledge into how these were created and why they are created, and enabled me to create a successful jingle for my own project.

TASK 4:

Deconstructing 2 news programmes

This was a key factor in my planning and research stages, as it gave me a insight into how radio broadcasts were sculpted. I researched aspects of the radio shows such as; content, length of the show, range of headlines and what kind of outside broadcasts they use. All of this enabled me to take inspiration from and apply these features to my project.

TASK 6:

Researching Radio Websites

This task enabled me to see how radio websites were structured and how they address the audience. Through the radio websites i could research the radio listings, which included times and who and what are going to be appearing on the show.

Preliminarily Proposal

PROPOSAL SCRIPT
PROPOSAL RADIO INTERVIEW 

The Proposal gave me a chance to explore the conventions of structuring a radio show, and also enabled me to wider my knowledge of using GarageBand. We were given the task to conduct a 1 minute radio interview, and to try and include all of the factors that make a successful broadcast.

Final Main Task

RADIO SCRIPT 

Before creating the final radio broadcast it was essential that i made a script, so that when it came to recording the show the tone of the show was natural and well rehearsed. This ensuring that my radio show came across professional. 

MAIN RADIO SHOW (DRAFT)

This is a first attempt/draft version of the main and final task. My final radio show drew upon the knowledge that i had gained through the planning and research and proposal stages of the project. It had to be 5 minutes long and include all of the conventions of a news radio broadcast, such as outside broadcasts, headline local news, national news headlines, vox pop interviews and also a weather report.

Evaluation

EVALUATION

After all of the stages of the project i had to put together a Evaluation, to evaluate all of the task included in the project.
