Evaluation
One of the ways that our media project represents particular social groups is by giving local news. This gives people a good insight into what is going on in their local neighbourhood which generates ‘local interest’ which is one of the local radio values. Another social group that our media project could represent is those who are interested in sport as there is a sport section in the news. These two topics show that a variety people could be interested in our news section. Business may also benefit from our news as they could find out about the current economic situation and their competitors.
A media institution that might want to distribute our media product is a local radio station such as heart fm. Also local news papers could put our stories into writing. Another institution that might use our news could be schools. They could put the bulletin into their school radio so that the students know what is happening in their local community.
The audience for our media project would probably be males and females above the age of 15. This is because some of the articles on the news may not be appropriate or understandable for younger audiences. This is probably the same for most news bulletins as the stories have to tell the truth.
One of the ways that we attracted our audience was by having the jingle at the start and between different sections of the news. This is good as if people know the sound then it will grab their attention and start to listen to the show (this is similar to other shows, for example on radio 1 their morning show will attract the attention of listeners. One of the ways that we addressed our audience was by thinking that you are talking to one person in particular, rather that every listener as a whole.
One of the main things about technologies that I have learnt from this task is about the amount of time it takes to put all the clips from different people parts together and then add sound effects from audacity. A problem that we had with audacity was that sometimes it would lose some of our saves, so it was important that we backed up our files. Also we found that it would sometimes condense bits the different lines of the audio together and this proved to be a problem when we were almost finished. Some of the sound effects that we used were overlapping the last few words of my sentences’ and it was too late to redo them. This meant that my sport piece was slightly shorter (10-15 seconds) that it should have been.
I feel that I have learnt a lot from the start of the preliminary and the final piece. Firstly I have learnt that is very important to keep a good body posture and to speak clearly and slowly when recording, otherwise the piece can sound very unprofessional and be hard to understand. Also it is important that while someone else is recording that everyone else in the room is silent as the microphone is very sensitive and can easily pick up other peoples voices. Another thing that I have learnt is how to edit the clips quicker; now that I am familiar with the software I know how to move multiple things about quickly cut things down and import and export sound clips.
