- 2. • I amgoing to listen to part of a radio show and analyse the different types of codes and conventions that take place in the broadcast. I will talk about what is present in the broadcast, and understand what effects this gives on the audience listening.
- 4. • I amgoing to look at the extract from BBC Radio 1, and the extract is called ‘Huw: Pretty Vicious in session, Loris & Winterfalle 16 Feb 15. It is 13 minutes and 20 seconds long. • The description reads: Welsh indie rock band Pretty Vicious, newly signed to Virgin EMI Records, make their Maida Vale session debut for Huw Stephens this week. Plus there's free new music by Northern Ireland's Loris and Jersey's Winterfalle, tipped by the BBC Introducing local shows.
- 5. • Huw Stephens,the presenter is interviewing a new Welsh indie rock band called ‘Pretty Vicious’. In between the parts of the interviews, there are clips of sound and music, that has been previously recorded for an archive clip.
- 6. • The presenteruses a clear, well spoken voice when introducing the band, and whilst interviewing them and asking questions. He uses formal language, with not a lot of slang words so that the people know what he is talking about. He is polite and respects the people he is talking to, and asks them questions about the band’s history. He interacts with them in a positive manner, engaging with them and also makes the audience interested.
- 8. • There isa sound bed in the background of the interview. There is really faint music to make the interview more appealing to listen to, and also makes it sound better. This is combined with different sound clips of the band’s influences such as small samples of songs from The Smiths and the Sex Pistols. They have inserted a clip of music from the Pretty Vicious, that has been previously recorded, which is called an archive clip.
