P4 My Radio Show

Introduction

This report will include all the planning and pre-production documents for my radio show for Unit 14. I will thoroughly discuss my proposal for my radio show and elaborate on what my idea is and how I will execute my idea. I will include the documents to evidence how I have made preparations to make a professional radio show. 

Proposal

My radio show is about Doncaster heritage, the specific episode I will be airing is about airplanes and aviation and is based in South Yorkshire. The purpose of my show is to entertain and inform, my radio show will be entertaining to people who are interested in aviation however I understand how this is a niche topic and therefore it will not be entertaining to a mass audience, therefore it will also be informative because I will discuss interesting aviation topics in the local area like the Doncaster Sheffield Airport closing down and I can inform audiences about the details of this situation. Over the course of my show, I can mention Doncaster Sheffield Airport (formerly Robin Hood Airport) and the discourse surrounding its recent closing. I believe this is a good topic to talk about as Doncaster has a lot of aviation news and therefore there is a lot of information to go over in my show.  Furthermore, I could mention the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum which is in Doncaster and the aviation history in Doncaster in general.

The target audience for my radio show is people aged 40 – 80, my radio show is targeted towards middle-aged adults or elderly people because my show is about the history of Doncaster which older people are usually more interested in due to it being nostalgic to them, however this episode also has a secondary target audience of people who are interested in aviation. This secondary target audience can be people of any age. However, more adults have an interest in aviation than teenagers therefore my target audience of people aged 40-80 is accurate. Furthermore, my target audience is both genders however I believe that my audience will be predominantly male as males take up a large proportion of the aviation community. For geographics, my radio show will be targeted towards people who live in South Yorkshire, specifically Doncaster or Sheffield, due to the topics I will be talking about being based in Doncaster. My target audience is not targeted towards specific demographics like ethnicity or sexuality as anybody from any ethnicity or any sexuality can listen to my radio show if they want to as my conversation topics will not cater towards a specific sexuality or race.

There is a lot of different pieces of equipment that would be beneficial to use for my radio show. Although I have no budget for my radio show I have still considered the equipment I would spend my budget on if I had one. Firstly, I would purchase a microphone as I believe this is an imperative piece of equipment to make your radio show sound professional; I would also buy a headset to go along with this. I would also require a mixing console to keep track of all the different pieces of audio involved in my radio show. I am the only personnel contributing towards my radio show, therefore I am responsible for all pre-production documents, the production of the radio show and the pre-production. To create awareness about my show, I would spend a portion of my budget on advertising and sponsorships, this is beneficial because it informs more people about my radio program and also means my show makes more of a profit by sponsoring a company during the shows air time. 



Planning Documents

Risk Assessment

A risk assessment is an imperative pre-production document because it is very important that I consider all the possible risks that come with creating my radio show, and by creating a risk assessment I am providing ways to deal with these risks and prevent them to ensure that the production of my radio program is as safe and professional as possible.

 Production Schedule









This is the production schedule for my radio show. This pre-production document is imperative due to how helpful it is for saving time and remaining organised. A production schedule assists me as I can track how long it should take me to complete each task in order to remain on track, I know how much time I can spend on each task and I know which order I should complete them in to have the most effective and efficient pre-production stage, production stage and post-production stage. 

Mind Map



































Conventions of a Radio Advert

      ·         Information.
·         Narration – A variety of tones.
·         15 – 60 seconds.
·         Stock music.
·         Jingle.
·         Sound effects.
·         Have a clear target audience.
·         Persuasive language.
·         A clear message.

My advert is going to be a Ryanair advert, promoting their airline and their low costs. I will need a microphone and a recording device/computer to record my advert on.


Advert Script


This is the script for the Ryanair advert that will be featured in my radio script. It is imperative that my radio program includes an advert as this is a standard convention of a radio program. It is also a sponsorship so it means my radio program will earn more money by including a sponsor and designating time in the program to advertise this company. 

Radio Script



This is the whole script for my radio show, it includes the dialogue from me (the presenter), two call ins and information on when the jingles and the advert take place. Reading this script will inform somebody on exactly how my radio show will plan out and the order it does this in. A script is a very helpful pre-production document as it assists me for multiple different reasons. Firstly, it allows me to know what to say and I can read it while recording my radio show to limit the amount of mistakes I make when recording. However, I may not follow the script exactly how it is written as I may decide to say different dialogue in the moment which If I believe it to sound more natural. Secondly, it helps me with the structure of the radio show and allows me to be aware of how the radio show will unfold so I do not forget and I can plan around this. 

Asset Table



This is the asset table pre-production document that I created for my radio show. This table displays my different audio files, the sizes of them, where I got them from and if they are copyright free. This table is important as it is a log for all my audio files and all the necessary information about each file.

Unit 15 D1: Compare and Contrast Approaches

 Introduction  In this report, I will discuss the comparisons and contrasts of the messages of audio visuals promos. I will analyse and compare the choice of multiple different key aspects like the audience, approaches, narrative and stylistic choices like the use of graphics, camera shots and editing. I have chosen two audio visual promos that I have previously analysed in my P1 document for this unit.  Promo 1  TV AD | Barclays | Digital Safety (youtube.com) Promo 2 Ed's Heinz Ad (youtube.com) Compare the Audience Firstly, the target audience for both the Barclays Digital Safety Promo and the Ed's Heinz Ad promo are undoubtedly different; this is due to the fact that both the audio visual promos have different purposes and exist in completely different markets. Due to the fact that the Barclays promo is to inform, they want to inform as many people as possible, meaning their target audience is quite broad, however I believe that the primary target audience for this promotion

P1: Describe the different radio industry operations

 Describe the different radio industry operations Introduction In this report, I am going to outline the different types of radio stations and go in depth on each type and the differences between them.  Public Radio In the UK, public radio stations are the BBC radio stations e.g. Radio 1 and Radio 2. However, this also includes the local stations like BBC Radio Sheffield or Trax FM when it still existed. Public Radio is funded by the Government and by the license fee the general public pay; due to this, it means that they cannot explicitly promote products or advertise on their stations. Public radio have to be careful with the content they produce due to being funded by the government and license fee. They also don't have competitions that offer cash prizes. They have some of the highest listener numbers in the UK with approximately 14.9 million listeners tuning in to Radio 2 every week.  According to RAJAR, all BBC radio stations had a population of 56,348(000s). The BBC's ra

B&Q Build a Life Campaign The B&Q Build a Life campaign revitalized perceptions of the B&Q brand. The purpose was to show the public that home improvement isn't just for builders, its for everyone, and the life you want can be built yourself with a little work and help from B&Q. The campaign ran through 2019 and 2020. The purpose of the document is to report on the quality of the B&Q Build a Life Campaign and goes into thorough detail about each aspect of the campaign and why it was so successful. Aims and Objectives  The aims and objectives for the B&Q Build a Life campaign are clear; it changed the way that the majority of the public view the B&Q brand. A vast amount of people believe they aren't capable of completing their own home improvement work or DIY work and that they would require a builder or someone professional to be able to do it for them. However, B&Q aimed to alter those views and create a more positive and 'Can do' attitu
