LO3 Evaluation of the script (me)

LO3 Evaluation of the script

How does it meet the requirements of the brief?

Our radio show meets the requierments of the breif as we have met  have included all of the segments that were specified in the breif. We have included voice actors and actors in our nes and topical disscusion feature section and in post production we have added in bedding music and jingle/theme music.

How does it meet the requirements of the purpose?

Our product meets its purpose as it appeals to our target audience and uses colloquial language as it is a local radio station. Our radio station meets the requirements to entertain as it entertains our listeners through the use of relatable content and current music, this also meets the conventions of the brief as it

How our script meets the conventions

As you can see wea are using a peer to peer mode of address in this section of script, which is fitting with the conventions of a chatty breakfast radio show simialr to BBC w breakfast show that i looked into for my LO1.

To conform with the conventions of a local rado show we have included local news in our news segments to best appeal to the target audience.



These examples aswell as many others is why if feel our script has met the codes and conventions.

Outline strengths

The radio show has strong dialogue as it is very back and fort to keep the audience engaged. Our content is tailored towards our demographic of 16-24 year olds and uni students as we use current indie music, whoch are from local bands. This script also meets the goals which was set out of by the breif as it is an appropriate local radio show.

Outline weaknesses

The only weakneses of the script is that when some of the dialogie was split up beetween the presenters, we ntices that there were some continuity in the dialogue particualry hen reading our stories and letters that were sent in. 

Changes/amends

We made small changes and adjustments to our script after we received client feedback from our client. one of the man issues were that in the early drafts of our script we needed  to break up more of the dialogue between the presenters, but we amended this by splitting up the larger lines and distributing them between the presenters.

LO3 Production of the script

Draft 1

Final script

This final draft of the script is layed out using rows and colums style to make it easier to read and follow for the presenters and the narrative of the script is structured around the idea that people are just waking up and will need easing into the program so we have scheduled the news at the top of the hour as this is a convention of a radio show. 

Style

The style of this script is a radio script style which is why we have used the able and boxes lay out so that it is layed out formaly and presents the information in a clear and consise way. 

The style is non liniar as it is disjointed as we have introduced different segments in the inroduction and then gone back to them in the slightley later in the show making it non liniar. The script is non fiction as the stories and facts we present are factual.

Narrative 

Our script is layed out with our news section at the top of the hour just after the intro as this fits with the conventions of a radio show. We then lead onto the news and sports section as our fist segment to ease us into the show. We then go on to the topical discussion section which is are main body and largest segment of our show. These segments are set divided by music and ads. We then move on to concluding the show by having an exit line.

When creating a media product such as a professional radio show there are many assets that will need to be utilised in order to make sure that the soundscape does not appear empty or boring. Below I have inserted a word document wherein I have explained our use of sound as well as where we have gained them. 

Assets: hardware and software

Hardware:
For the creation of our planned radio show my team will require the following hardware:

• A computer

The computer will be used to access software that will be quintessential in the editing of our radio show.

• a microphone

The microphone is of great importance as that it will be used to record the voices of the hosts of the show so that that can be put onto the computer for later use during editing.

• a microphone arm

A microphone arm is important as that it means that nobody has to hold up the microphone u for the whole recording process. Aside from the clear safety benefits of no one potentially huring their arms the use of an arm means that the sound quality will be improved due to the fact that the mic will not be moving around while recording Is taking place. 

• a pop filter

A pop filter stops the microphone from picking up popping sounds (Ps and Ts) increasing the professional standard of the show. 

• speakers

the speakers are of use in the recording studio as that they allow for high definition playback allowing us to decide wheather the take we have just recorded is of a high quality or needs to be redone. 

• headphones

Headphones will be very important as that we would be editing the show in a classroom with lots of other people in. As not to be a distraction to everyone else as well as to make sure that we can hear the product we would be creating clearly

• an audio interface

an audio interface allows us to edit the volume of a microphone feed in the recording studio. 

Software: 

• Microsoft Word 

The most important piece of software in the production Is Microsoft would as that it is the best piece of software for text document production and formatting. This is where we will create or different pieces of the script and where I will make sure that it Is well formatted. 

• Adobe audition 

Adobe audition is where the radio show would be edited as that it is the most professional piece of software we have access to as a group. It allows for the creation of a product we can truly feel meets the expectations of our target audience. 

• Garage band

We will use garage band to record our show in the recording studio.

LO2 Planning a script for a radio show

Justification of idea
Our idea of a local indie radio station is appropriate for a local Sheffield demogrpahic as there is a strong indie subculture in sheffield esspecialy amongst students attening universities i.e. Sheff hallam or university of sheffield. Our show content can be personalised towards a younger demogrphic of university attendees by disscussing issues that applies to them. By appealing to this more niche sub culture we are filling a gap in the market. In my research of LO 1 i found that there are any main stream radio stations for teen listeners  i.e. BBC radio 1 however there isnt any local sheffield based radio stations which focus on the city's indie sub culture, which i think to be a gap in the industry which fills a real world need and will appeal to a narrow cast audience. 

Treatment 

The script I write for this unit will be that for Radio show that I will be creating for this unit will be a magazine news show. The show will follow the usual structure of this type of program having sections devoted to the reporting of NEWS, Weather, Sport, Travel as well as a general conversation section which gives the audience a question to answer with their thoughts and opinions. This section is usually something lighthearted and inoffensive so that the debate that results from it is humorous. However it can also be political so that people are compelled to share their opinions 

The name of our radio station is SCC (Sheffield city campus) Radio and the name of the programme will be SSC morning report. The reason for this name is that our main target audience will be students from both of the universities in the city. The show's slogan will be "Sheffield's news, the Sheffield way." This will relate to the strong sense of local culture that people who live in the city and study at the universities will experience as to further target this audience we will make the show air at 6am as that this is when students ill be getting up so that they can make it to their morning lectures 

The three songs that we will include in our radio show are the following:

• "Fluorescent Adolescent" - "The Arctic Monkeys"

• "Feel It Still" - "Portugal. The Man"

• "She's Electric" - "Oasis"

All three of these songs fit with the indie theme of the show. I have chosen these three songs for two reasons firstly, the songs are all relevant as that all of the musical groups behind them are in the public eye (the arctic monkeys as that they are expected to release a new album this year, Portugal. The man as that "Feel it still" was a hit in 2017 and "Oasis" as that Liam and Noel Gallagher have both released albums int the last year) meaning that the people listening will be familiar with the music. 

As well as this all of these songs are upbeat and cheerful which will set the tone for a morning radio show. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Genre: We are going to be making a radio talk show that aimed at university students aged 18-24. As our demographic audience is university students we will be creating a breakfast talk show which will aired at 10am. SCC Breakfast radio will feature the presenters who will cohost the show and talk about breakfast topics. Breakfast shows often are very interactive and often ask the audience to tweet in to connect with the presenters. A topic which could be discussed on the show is “flatmate horror stories” this would appeal to the audience because it talks about experiences that the audience themselves can relate to and find humorous on their way to lectures. Another convention we will include in our show is a breakfast jingle, this is important when creating and maintaining the brand of SCC. Jingles allow the audience to recognise what show is on and is a good way to make a show memorable. To add, our show will feature a news and announcements section, this is because the target audience whom will be university students will be able to access this information. An example of this would be the student union releasing an announcement on the show in the morning for any cancelled events or any last minute places on trips that students could participate in. This feature of the show is specific to the target audience and will also attract listeners because SCC is a radio platform that can provide important information to our target audience and this is also an important feature as a news section is another common convention of breakfast radio talk shows.

The major difference between this show and the average radio talk show is the mode of address of the shows delivery. This is because our show is targeted at students who live in the Sheffield area. This means that I will write the show to be more informal as to cater for this young (18- 23) demographic.

Advertising (Matt)

For advertising we will look into local companies to promote in the local area i.e. Lead Mill or Meadowhall, this will promote the use of synergy and will advertise to the target audience of young students in sheffield as brands and companies like these will appeal to them as they are the same demogrpahic and age group. We fell that as we will only hve a local reach it will be better to have advertising that is more consentrated towards the neiche audiences of the local indie sub culture.
