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. 

Media Research- Jingles

Jingle One- Funk and Sole Show

Even though I have never heard this radio show before, the opening jingle (even though it is very short) tells the listeners that it is a very light heartened radio show, which revolves around music. When the vice over begins you can hear techno sounds in the background which again suggests t hat it is a very modern radio station. As it is a music based radio show it instantly goes into a song after the voice after has finished, this gees on for around 2 minutes and can become very boring very quickly. Once the music drones out the presenter starts to speak, as this show is part of the bbc radio 6 music branch then it is likely to use the same introduction as the rest of the branch does. Overall this introduction is very simple, it explains what is going to take place after the intro music and then plays a song (most likely a popular one or a new resease) and then the presenter starts to talk, I like the format but feel that the length of the song after the intro is a bit boring and plain.

Jingle Two- Chris Moyles Show

Just by listening to the beginning of the show you can tell by the opening of the song that it is a morning radio show, the tune is very soft and laid back and is very easy to listen (or wake up to). The opening is extremely long with the typical 'take the piss' music song is very repititive which does make it slightly boring but once the sining spots Chris Moyles starts talking over the tune and the show begins. I feel that this intro is yet again too long until the presenters begin to start talking about their show, the introduction also does not mention what is going to happen throughout the show so no one really knows what is going to take place. Overall the introduction is very long and is soon to get annoying but once the music drones out and the presenters start speaking over the music the show gets alot more interesting.

Jingle Three- Scott Mills show

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00gklm4/Scott_Mills_14_01_2009/

This intorduction intro is extremely high paced and the tempo is completly different to the two previous shows which I talked about, the introduction music being so high tempoed could show that this show is presented in the late afternoon when people are nearing the end of their work and cheers every one up. Then once the music stops or drones down a funny sounding voice (with a echoing effect) informs all the listenings that all the radio one recordings can be found on the bbc website. Then it goes straight into a song, so it takes at least 5 minutes for the presenter to talk about the show. once the music drones out a funky tune in the background and scott mills starts talking about the show and just general stuff. I beleive that this is a very good way of introducing show as he plays a very popular song and gets the listenings interested in the show, also the high tempo beginning of the introduction gets the radio listenings interested and they take notice of the show.
