Preparation of my Script

For the preparation of my script I had to work in a group so I can understand my role fully and how to act it fully, aswell as deconstructing jingles. We all helped eachother with questions to be asked and how they could be answered. To write my script I had many drafts so I can perfect it and make sound as professional as possible. I had also wrote out and rephrased some questions to ask questions to my guests.

Starting and preparation of my 5 minute Radio Jingle

Before actually starting my 5 minute radio jingle, I had to deconstruct many radio broadcasts so I can pick out the normal conventions of them. I had to see the tone's of the DJ, the pace of the broadcasts, how many stories they were in 5 minutes and how quick each one was read.
This is what i based my own 5 minute jingle on. I also had to choose the stories that I was going to present in my broadcast.
As a group of 4 we both divided the roles as the Presesnter(Inside the Studio), Outside Broadcaster( Person outside reporting a serious story), Education Minister( She is visiting in the Studio), and a funny story(which someone had rang in).
Above are some of the conventions of a short Radio Broadcast

My Final Day on the Preliminary Radio Jingle

Today was the day. Me and my friend printed out the script and went to the studio to record our jingle and 30 second preliminary broadcast.
When we first went into the studio we had to get used to the controls and the systems we had to use and how to familiarise with them for future purposes on our actual 5 minute radio jingle.
When we had to recorded our scripts we had to edit some of them on the computer due to some mistakes with the recordings.
We edited it our recordings in our own ways by adding different sound effects which we had downloaded from a free sourced website due to certain constrictions on using copyrighted sounds.
I had completed it and presented it to my teachers who checked and evaluated it so i can enhance it in the right area's.

Preliminary Radio Jingle Script and Audience

My Target Audience is for youths or young adults so the music will be lively

This jingle appears
The time of day: in the morning (8am to 9am) to wake people up and make them wake up from there slumber with no stress.

The mood I want to create will be a happy and active mood so kids and young adults can have a good morning and have a positive attitude. It will be an all music show but in the beginning I’ll mention a little about celebrity news and about the tacks ill play.

The thing I will do to achieve the tasks above:
I will want to play exclusive music like r’n’b or something they like that, or one that is big in the community. My voice will be high and hyper to show the energy and transfer it to the audience and make them more pro active.

WHAT I WILL SAY ON THE RADIO

HEY, HEY, HEY GOODMORNIN, UR LISTENING TO ICE FM ON 96.8 FM
OUR TUNEZ WILL MAKE SHIVER WITH ICE COLD TUNES.

HELLO ITS ME HITZ AND YOUR LISTENING TO ICE FM!! WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST MR T: SHUT UP FOOL!!

Deconstructing A Radio Jingle

To attempt and create a Radio Jingle that would last for 30 seconds we as a class analysed and differentiated the conventions that were used so we could use them in our preliminary task.
The radio broadcast i had deconstructed was:

Radio Jingle Deconstruction
(Jingle 7)

Capital Breakfast Show

Right from, the start it is a upbeat tune and is most likely to be played in the morning to wake you up or play while have breakfast because of the name as well.

The voice of the woman is also upbeat she is also singing in course with the beat making it sound more fluent and more professional.

This particular Radio Clip is for Young Adults due to the upbeat music and it is very interesting

The woman starts singing and says what is going to be on the radio show today, also when the man comes in the upbeat music is still playing and he stating that they have great songs and they are going to play 10 of them in a row.

After this particular man is finished speaking there is a clip of a particular song that is going to be played later on.

Before the clip is played the woman states what the radio station is called and tells us what the frequency is.

The beat is very repetitive and sound like loop so it will stick in the peoples head so when they remember the tune they’ll know what the radio station is called.

When the man starts speaking the music fades out just for a second then when he starts it comes back but at a lower volume. After the message the music volume is restored back to normal.

My Preliminary 30 Second Radio Jingle

To start things off,Bold in lessons with my peers I had deconstructed different radio broadcasts to help me grasp the conventions of radio stations. How long they are? What is in the Broadcasts such as Weather, Sports, Serious News and so on and so forth. This will make it easier for me to create a 30 Second Radio Jingle.

For my media studies coursework I am creating a 5 minute radio jingle for a Local Radio station.

To complete this task I first had to do a preliminary task which will help me recognise and help me undestand how to use the programme Adobe Audition to it's maximum capacity. My Preliminary task consisted me to deconstruct other radio broadcasts and use the conventions of Radio Shows as well to help create and perfect my 5minute broadcast.
