Evaluation of Audio Project
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
My audio project uses the regular forms and conventions that you are likely to find in the likes of the Chris Moyles show, Sarah Cox show etc. It starts off with eh radio jingle (which is basically the introduction music to the show which is present in the majority of modern radio shows) Once that has droned out I have used a quiet hip hop beat in the background that is played whilst the presenter and star quest are having their brief conversation. So therefore I believe that my project follows all the regular forms and regulations that you will find present in most shows, there is always a form of sound playing throughout the short show. And obviously the music will be much more quiet as the the presenter and guest are speaking.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
I made my jingle knowing that the target audience I was looking to relate young men and woman and teenagers, the type of music I used was very hip hop and modern which they could easily relate to. My opening jingle uses a variety of different instruments and sounds. I use the electric guitar which could quite easily interest like fans of rock music but at the same time I use a street wise backing beat which could interest a completely different social group, therefore my jingle could interest may social groups and that was my initial aim.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
I believe that the likes of radio one from the bbc and music 6music from the bbc could be interested in distributing my radio show as it looks to widen the popularity of all the young and upcoming music bands and at the same time look to promote all the latest music which will be extremely popular. The radio show will also look to bring band members, band managers and so forth to once again broaden the popularity of the bands. The like of radio one I believe could in interested in that sort of show as it could allow music lovers throughout the country to find out about these new bands and it would also enhance radio ones popularity (that is just an example).
Who would be the audience for your media product?
As previously stated the type of audience I believe that would want to listen to my radio show would be older teenagers and young adults. This is because all the music played on the radio station would be either music that is extremely popular and selling well worldwide or young upcoming bands who want and need to be recognised to boost their chances of success. So the probability of an old woman who wants to listen to classical music tuning in and enjoy listening in my radio show are extremely slim. I also believe that both males and females of the same generation and age will enjoy listening to my radio show because the chances are that the music that is laying will appeal to both sexes, not just one sex.
How did you attract/address your audience?
I believe that my radio show attracted the audience through my catchy my opening radio jingle is, i reckon that my the wide variety of beats, tunes etc and how well they all blend together create a very short and catchy tune that many listening would remember (also a lot of my fellow media peers have stated that one of the best points about my jingle is how catchy it is). I used Michael Morris as the presenter as he makes the radio program very sunny and actually interesting
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have learnt how to use garage band well to a certain extent, I feel very comfortable using the program and if I was asked to make another radio jingle I believe that could produce a very catchy one in quick time. When I first started using garage band I thought it was very complex and difficult to find your way around, but the reality is that the program is very straight forward to use and has a fantastic variety of sounds, techniques and methods that you can play around with which can help you produce a top quality tune. It is very east to edit your music if you fell that something is missing or that something is either in the wrong place or just in general does not sound correct and you want to get rid of it. Overall the garage band program is an extremely helpful program and I feel very confident using the program.

Propduction of my Radio Jingle etc.........
Firstly I had to open up Garage Band and start a new file, once that was completed I started adding a number of different loops from the garage band library and started to mix them together. This took a couple of hours to finally perfect what I beleive to be a very catchy and fresh radio opening jingle. Once that was completed I had to record both Micheal Morris and Scott Livingston having their short conversation, once that was completed I added the file to the Garage Band file and placed it in the required position for it to fit in with my jingle. Then to finish off I added a song which was strictly relavent the the star guest who was on the show.

Planning my production of the Radio Show
To start off I will create the radio jingle, this will be done my using Garage Band. I will use a variety of their custom made radio jingle loops, this will add the main structure of the jingle and will enable me to create a funky and groovy sounding jingle. If possible I will then attempt to add some of my own composition into the opening jingle that will also enhance my jingle. I want to add a piece of my own music as it will add more originality to my jingle. Once that has been complete I will record Michael Morris and Scott Livingston having their radio conversation, this will be done either my recording it n one of the handheld recording devices or if none are available I will just record in on iMovie and then put it onto my Garage Band work. And finally I will need to add an achieve clip (which will be a piece of music made by either myself or someone else) that will thread in at the end to round off the production. HAPPY DAYS!
Applications
Throughout the production of my radio show, I will be using the Apple Mac program called Garage Band. This program is reasonably straight forward to use but the effects and overall things you can produce whilst using this program are quite brilliant and i hope this program will give me the best possible chance of creating a reasonably realistic radio jingle and show.
Plan
My plan is to produce a music orientated radio show that looks to play all the latest music from around the world and will also look to spread the up coming music of fresh, young bands. My radio jingle therefore will hopefully be rather funky, groovy and will appeal to the majority of music fans. It will also need to be rather catchy so it is very important that I do not make it too short or too long. Once the jingle has finished a will look to add in a low toned back track which will be playing whilst the presenter is introducing the show and the star guest. After that has been completed I will play a trach from the band which the guest is part of to end the radio show.
Target Audience
My particular target audience for my radio show will be music fans of most genres (ie rock, pop etc) and will constantly have interviews from members of popular bands and also the band managers (which is the interview that will be taking place in my edition of the show). In many ways it will be similar to the likes of Scott Mills and Sarah Cox's shows which orientate around listening to all the latest and most popular music. It would be played about lunchtime to early afternoon, is therefore it will be fairly light hearted but at the same time will look to spread the popularity of young bands around the world.
