Level 2 Media Radio

Ok, you've analysed a station and a show , then  conceived ,  planned  and  produced  your radio show The final touch is to hand it in, and evidence what you've done. Do this in the following way. 1. Open up a new blogpost. Call it 'My Talk & Music Radio Reflection'. 2. Answer, in a few paragraphs the following questions.Actually paste the bolded questions into your post and then add a paragraph answer to each. a)  How happy am I with my finished show?  Have you achieved what you set out to achieve? What are you particularly proud of in your final product? Do you think it will appeal to the target audience you've identified? b)  What could be improved with my finished show?  What would you change or improve about your finished product? How could those improvements be made? Is it a question of having more time, or practicing more with the software you used? If you could make the show again what would you do differently?...

OK, you've analysed a station in terms of its programme types, genre and audience/listeners. Now time to pick a show from the station and analyse that in order to achieve criteria P2. Remember, every criteria has to be achieved in order to complete the unit. AND MAKE SURE THAT THE SHOW YOU ANALYSE IS FROM THE SAME STATION YOU'VE ALREADY ANALYSED. Get your analysis together as follows.  1. OPEN UP A NEW POST. Call it 'SHOW ANALYSIS'.  2. Listen to at least half-an-hour of a show from the station you've written about. Use the following subheadings in bold and do what I've asked for in italics to complete your analysis.   Programme Name: Give me the full name of the show.  Station: give me the name of the station it appears on.  Date/Time/Duration: give me the date the show was broadcast, the time it was on and how long the show lasts in hrs & minutes.  Presenter(s) : Give me the name(s) of the main presenter(s)...

What you might have noticed with the units that you've started so far is that they tend to follow a pattern - first you have to analyse the industry behind things, then you have to plan your own product, and then you have to create. The radio unit you'll be doing with me this year is called TALK AND MUSIC RADIO PRODUCTION and follows this process.  In this unit you're going to analyse a radio station, then analyse ONE of the shows broadcast on that station and finally plan, record and edit your own radio show. You will be assessed on your analysis, the planning you put into your show , and the final show you'll make. Again, good planning makes for a good finished product. Stay on top of it and you'll be creating great entertaining shows. Here as ever is the spec - I recommend having a glance at it to give yourself an idea of the way this unit will unfold over coming months. Because I'm not actually going to be assessing this unit until Easter 2018, t...
