Planning

For this audio project, I will need the following in my radio show:

• An introductory jingle
• A presenter, introducing the show, themselves and welcoming their guest
• The guest's response
• The archive sound clip, relating to the guest

With these in place, my audio project will have conformed to the codes and conventions required within this project.

An introductory jingle - With this introductory jingle, I will use GarageBand, an application for Macs. GarageBand is used to create different tunes either by the user typing / playing the specific notes, or by the user creating / placing pre-recorded loops into different positions which will combine to create a nice sounding piece of music. Within GarageBand, there are many different genres from rock to jazz, and within these genres are unique instruments from distort guitar to dark organ. By using the effects of GarageBand, I aim to create a catchy introductory jingle that will conform to my target audience.

A presenter, introducing the show, themselves and welcoming their guest - As I am the presenter, I will need to introduce the show appropriately so as to appeal to the target audience. My guest will have to be relevant to my target audience, therefore it will have to be sport orientated. I will record the show using a dictator from Mr. Winn's vast supply of media-related technology. I will write a script so that I know exactly what I am going to say and therefore have no stumbling blocks which would cause silence, being bad in radio.

The guest's response - My guest will be a classmate. I will write a script for my guest so as to ensure a smooth transition between me introducing them and them responding. The guest will be standing / sitting next to where I am so that there is not a big noise difference from different rooms etc.

The archive sound clip, relating to the guest - I will record the sound clip as a different clip in a different area so that it is distinguishable from the dialogue between me and my guest. I will introduce the sound clip by saying something along the lines of "Now lets hear some of your best bits". This sound clip will, again, have to be relevant to my target audience and therefore will have to be sport-themed.

If I follow these 4 key points then I will have conformed to the requirements of this particular task and I will have therefore created a popular and successful radio show.
