8. What we have learned by using these
technologies to produce our broadcast:
• When using digital technologies you can become more
creative with your work- e.g. adding sound effects or
background noise
• Your work can easily be edited, changed or cut- an
example of this is premiere pro, it makes editing your
work simpler
• The internet provides useful information and allows
your to research similar examples or your work easier-
e.g. other radio broadcasts
• Computers and the internet make it easier and quicker
to get audience feedback online about your work- this
helps if you have little time to make important changes
