LO2: Investigate technologies for multiplatform radio broadcasting

Image
Radio shows can be distributed through different media platforms such as online, through websites or on the radio. They can be promoted and advertised to their audience through different below the line methods like social media platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and Facebook. Other types of advertising can be below the line methods such as through billboards posters and leaflets.  The transmitter is the key part of broadcasting any radio station. It takes your broadcast signal, then encodes it and transmits it as radio waves that then can be picked up by any reciever. There is several types of radio transmitters available from Progressive Concepts. There are large FM transmitter for the full power radio station as well as there are medium to low power FM transmitter such as the ones used on LPFM stations. The receiver then picks up the encoded broadcasted signal, then decodes it and allows listeners to hear it. This allows your radio to pick up the signal...

LO4: Editing Process

Image
Advert:  In one of the screenshots below it shows how I have put the audio in to a multitrack to create the different layers in the advert, so I can edit them together, overlapping the audio. I also change the tempo of the voice to improve the audio, so the voice in the advert isn't overpowering and puts people off what the advert is actually about. By adding this it means the voice is more appealing and joyful to its target audience making people want to visit the Jazz Cafe. To make sure the audio fades in to one another I turned down the volume to give it a gradual fade into the next audio giving it a professional feel.  The other screenshot shows how I have exported the advert from a WAV file to an MP3, to make the file size smaller so I can successfully add it to my blog.  Jingle: To make the jingle I imported all the audio which I knew I was going to use into a new multitrack, called jingle. I then made sure that I had the audio in the correct order for how I wanted ...

LO4: Offline edit

  This is the offline edit of our radio show, before we added the special effects and the jingle and the advert. It shows the running order of the show and how it flows. This then tests how to flow works and if we needed to change the order to make it more professional feel to it, to make people want to listen to it. This will help in the final edit as it can help us expand our ideas and know what else we need to add, and the effects in order to make the show the best it can be.

LO4 (D2): Evaluating the flow

In the final edit of the WDQ radio show the way in which the audio has been edited together makes the flow professional, to do this we made sure that the background track helps the different audio clips flow into each other without having a harsh stop from each segment. We also made the audio at the end of the track be dimmed so it flows out, into the background beat. This makes our radio show suitable and fit for its purpose as it clearly tells the audience what the show is about whilst including different guests and also having the jingle and the advert, to give it the radio feel.  We included interviews with the guests, who are professionals and works for the wildlife park and tells the audience different information, that people may not know about the wildlife park. This radio show sounds like a real radio show as it contain elements such as the advert, for Jazz Cafe and the jingle for WDQ. As some of the bloopers and mistakes have been added into the radio show, to make it see...
