1. Evaluation Unit 6&2 Walid ali
I have been told to complete an important assignment which is for unit 13.This important
assignment that I have to complete is a short programme for a local radio station and in this certain
radio show I will be discussing extra-curricular activities for students at their primary or secondary
school. The manager of the radio station is very interested of me finding out information from
young students so I have been asked to include an interview with students in my certain radio
programme.
Firstly, before I start the production of my extra-curricular activities for students for my certain
radio show programme I would like to say that I have overseen the unique research on a well-known
radio show hosted by Nick Grimshaw. I have done this certain type of research on this radio show to
give myself a much more understanding how to make a good and popular radio show. I have found
out numerous amounts of conventions of the Nick Grimshaw radio programme and what type of
questions I can ask, for instance “When is the programme broadcast, how often, what is the target
audience, what gender, how old are they, what social class are they in, how many people listen, what
is the production process, jingles, broadcast time and do they have a co-host with the radio show.as
well I looked into more crucial things such as “how many song do they played in a certain amount of
time, how do they speak to their audience (form or informal) and what makes their show suitable
for their target audience”. Positively, I think I have conducted a good enough amount of research
which will give me a more in depth of knowledge on the radio shows and it will make the
production of my radio show easier to work on.
Secondly, at the start of my radio show it will begin with an upbeat jingle that will show that this
radio show is aim for my target audience and it will have a popular style of music jingle such as Hip
Hop or RnB.I believe that the jingle is the most important part of the radio show because it is the
first thing you will hear when you tune in the radio show and that if is a upbeat jingle it will show it
is suitable for my target audience. As well to involve my target audience they have to speak formal
because it will show how my radio programme/show is suitable for my target audience and it will
show the parents can related what type of radio show I’m doing.
Thirdly, the technical objects that I have to meet are that I have to successfully fading in and out
different audio clips; the quality of the radio shows has to be of high standard to dot this I will use
condenser and dynamic mics, I will have to add effects to make the recordings sound more
professional E.G. The compressor is when an instrument or device for compressing something and it
is an electrical device which reduces the dynamic range of a sound signal.
Fourthly, fulfilled in my radio show will be interviewing the student about the extra-curricular
activities sometime during the radio show/programme. To add to that someone in my media group
will be interviewing a student from Haverstock School and a teacher about the extra-curricular
activities within the Haverstock School. In my radio show we will be briefly talking to the teacher
about the different type of activates clubs there are. For example, “what school do you teach at, what
extra-curriculums are there in your school, what extra activities do you do in school, do you think
the school does enough after school activities, Is there any age limited, do you enjoy teaching them,
how many other students go to them and how old you have to be to attend. Also we will be giving a
numerous amount on facts and statistics on extra-curricular activities throughout Haverstock School.
To conclude, I believe that if everything goes right that I have reported in this certain assignment is
that I will have successful radio programme that appeals to my target audience.
