The document discusses the challenges faced and lessons learned from completing a radio broadcasting project. It describes initial difficulties with the required technology and recording equipment. Mistakes were made in the preliminary task but equipment and skills improved for the final project. Completing a longer five-minute broadcast required more planning and practice to fill time. Confidence issues were faced but overcome through perseverance. Overall, the project provided valuable insights into the radio industry and importance of broadcasting.

2. TECHNOLOGY
• WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE COURSE, WHAT I FOUND TO BE INITIALLY DAUNTING WAS THE COMPLEXITY
(OR IT SEEMED HARDER THAN IT POSSIBLY WAS) OF THE TECHNOLOGICALAPPLICATION REQUIRED TO
SUFFICIENTLY COMPLETE THIS PROJECT. ALTHOUGH I COMPLETED ANICT COURSE IN EARLIER YEARS, THE
STUFF THAT I WAS ONCE TAUGHT DID NOT PREPARE ME FOR PROGRAMMES SUCH AS ADOBE AUDITION,
WHICH I FOUND TO BE PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT. HOWEVER, EVEN THOUGHDURING THE PRELIMINARY
TASK I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AS SKILLED AS I HOPED TO BE, I HAVE LEARNED FROM PREVIOUS MISTAKES
AND NOW FEEL CONFIDENT IN MINE AND JENNA’S FINAL PROJECT.

3. RECORDING
• INITIALLY WE ENCOUNTERED SEVERAL PROBLEMS AND ENDED UP RECORDINGA SIGNIFICANT PORTION
OF OUR PRELIMINARY TASK ON OUR PHONES. HOWEVER WE LEARNT FROM THESE PROBLEMS AND CAME
PREPAREDTO THE RECORDING OF OUR FINAL TASK WITH MORE PROFESSIONAL RECORDING EQUIPMENT
THAT WE FOUND TO BE FAR EASIER TO USE.

4. TIME SCALE
• THE FIVE MINUTE BULLETIN WAS OBVIOUSLY A LOT HARDER TO PREPARE FOR THAN THE PRELIMINARY
TASK AS WE HAD TO FEEL UP A LARGER SPACE OF TIME WITHOUT RAMBLING. WE PRACTICED MORE
TIMES THAN I CAN REMEMBER (MAINLY DUE TO CONSTANT LAUGHING) ANDIN THE END WE LEARNED
THAT ALTHOUGH THE PROJECT WAS DIFFERENT TO THE FIRST, WE COULD APPLY THE SAME SKILL-SETS
AND CREATE A PROJECT WE WERE HAPPY WITH.

5. CONFIDENCE
• I HAVE STAGE FRIGHT AND CONFIDENCE ISSUES AND SO THIS PROJECT WAS INITIALLY DIFFICULT,
ESPECIALLY WHEN RECORDING THE PRELIMINARY TASK. HOWEVER, I’VE TRIED MY HARDEST TO IMPROVE
AND I FEEL THAT BOTH JENNA AND I HAVE MOVED PAST ANY STRUGGLES IN THE PROJECT (SUCH AS
LOSING SOME DOCUMENTS) TO CREATE SOMETHING EVEN BETTER THAN BEFORE, AND I FEEL A LOT MORE
CONFIDENT IN GENERAL FOLLOWING THESE TASKS!

6. THE INDUSTRY
• THIS PROJECT HAS TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT THE RADIO INDUSTRY, WHICHI PREVIOUSLY HAD
ABSOLUTELY NO KNOWLEDGE ON. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE PEOPLE AND INSTITUTIONS INVOLVED IN THIS
INDUSTRY ARE INCREDIBLY INTERESTING IN ADDITION TO THE LESSON OFJUST HOW IMPORTANT RADIO
AND TELEVISION BROADCASTING CAN BE. NEWS HAS THE POWER TO ULTIMATELY SHAPE HOW THE
PUBLIC PERCEIVE THE WORLD AROUND THEM, HOW WE THINK, WHO WE KNOW, WHO WE SUPPORT AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY GIVE EVERY SINGLE PERSON, REGARDLESS OF THE BACKGROUND THEY COME FROM,
THE OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS OF ALL:KNOWLEDGE OF JUST HOW BIG
THIS WORLD IS, IF ONLY THEY TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK.
