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?...

Hopefully you've SAVED your links properly as mp3s or wavs and can open them up in Adobe Audition. You now need to lace together your links with your music, as well as create jingles/stabs. You also need to leave me some EVIDENCE of this process so every now and then please screenshot what you're doing and save images in a folder (I'll figure out how to turn this into a production diary). REMEMBER - you can EDIT individual tracks in 'Edit View', you can put together various tracks in 'Multitrack' view. Have a play with effects and see what occurs.

OK - IF you have completed ALL the planning necessary, it's now time for you to start your radio production by actually recording the links you're going to use between tracks in your half-hour shows. No-one gets in a studio without a script. In previous years students who've gone into the studios saying they're going to 'freestyle' it and have then spent entire sessions dicking about have failed. Students who go in and record JUST what they need and have spent more time EDITING have ended up with tight, well-edited shows. The longer you give yourself in the classroom to edit what you record together with the music tracks the better. This doesn't mean that if you're in a position to go into the studio you should rush through the actual recording- take your time in the studio getting relaxed and comfortable, making sure your voice is coming through loudly and clearly (check your fader levels) - keep having a go until you get links you're happy wi...
