LO3: Task 4

 
The video above is evidence of editing a jingle for the radio show.

 
Evidence of making different parts of the audio louer or quieter as to begin with we thought it was difficult to hear our voices but the music was too loud.

Running order and Content plan

Content plan


       My podcast is about discussions and reviews on consoles like Xbox, PlayStation  and games but also talking about relevant products which help you play that particular game or console. Instead of making it formal and almost might sound boring to some people if we are just constantly talking about the game we have added some funny hosts into the show to talk about funny things happening in the game industry and funny events which have happened to different players. The hosts also play a lot of games themselves so they're able to contribute to different topics which they have knowledge about. We will also be asking questions to some of the local people in Sheffield so that they can get involved and have a say about a specific topic which they want to talk about, we will also be asking questions or asking their opinions on certain subjects which we will bring up in the podcast. As part of our podcast we will be doing a giveaway every three episodes which gives the audience a chance to win games and accessories which we have shown on the show, the audience can have a chance to win by texting or emailing in with a winner chosen at random.

LO2: Launch Date

The local community radio station in Sheffield which is Sheffield Live have said that we are able to broadcast our own show from the 31st of May to July 1st. Every week we will be planning and gathering content for our show which will be on Friday. We would like our show to be presented around the 12th of June as thats when exams are over and young people and young adults will have time on their hands instead of worrying and revising for exams.

LO2 Task 3: Planning a Radio show

A.) Intended Radio Station/Broadcaster
I will be creating a 5 minute radio show for Sheffield live radio. They are a community radio station that caters to uderserved audiences with shows like Africabeat and The local talent show. All of the shows that are broadcast on Sheffield Live are considered to be Niche.

B.) Target Audience
The target audience for our show would be 14-25 year olds because these are the ages that are generally more interested in games. It will not be specifically targeted at a certain gender so as not to discriminate and limit our audience down to one specific gender. In terms of NRS (National Readership Survey) The target audience would be in the ABC1 category because they would need access to the internet in order to be able to access the podcast in the first place.

C.)Content Plan
The content of the show will include two game reviews per episode with an ad break between certain segments it will also include a section where we ask for the opinions of listeners regarding the game that was discussed previously. There will also be a news section about upcoming games and gaming news.

Finley: Man! Check out all the upgrades you can get from winning races and even losing!

Bailey: Cant wait for the new need for speed!
Dom: Completed it
Finley: It only came out yesterday?
Dom: Err! Moving on!
Bailey: Anyone been on GTA on the new consoles with first person?
Finley:  Yeah but it’s only out for new consoles and they cost a bomb
Dom: Who plays Xbox 360 anymore though?
Finley: You’re joking right? Loads of people! People who don’t want to pay a fortune!
Dom: Moving onto accessories for CoD where we’ve been testing out the new modded controller from rapidmodz

Bailey: quickscope and rapid-fire with the controller lighting up with bullet buttons
Dom: Now, talking about the new Farcry4! We’ve got jack one of our listeners who have called in to talk about his experience of the game soon!
Bailey: The new valley of the Yetis DLC is out now for Playstation and Xbox!
Finley: What’s the story behind it? Is it worth the money?
Dom: It offers a supernatural twist with a threat of massive Yetis with the enemy after a secret in the valley.
Bailey: And it’s only £12 with it offering more storyline and more things to do so it’s worth the money in my opinion.
Finley: Anyone heard of the keys to kyrat for playstation? 
Dom: What’s that?
Finley: it’s where you can give a friend who doesn’t own the game a chance to play co-op for 2 hours.

Finley: We have our first caller on the line! Jack! Are you there?
Jack: I’m here! Am I really on?!
Bailey: Jack! What’s your opinion on farcry 4?
Jack: It has a good storyline and better gameplay to the one before, but there’s loads of problems like the stupid hand glider and grappling hook which is bad to use and hard to control. You cant even drive the cars cause the handling is that bad and the shooting accuracy is terrible
Bailey: Driving is easy on the game?
Jack: It’s not! I crash every time!
Bailey: I don’t, use the manual
Finley: Okay hahah! Time to leave it there thanks for calling in jack!
Dom: That’s all we have time for; I hope you’ve enjoyed listening today

F.)Production Schedule


G.)Relevant Legal and/or ethical issues
Because our programme is broadcast before the watershed we must be careful not to include any offensive content that may be damaging to younger viewers. Our Radio Station also must have a PRS license in order to include music by artists in the show. Also we must abide by broadcast codes set by Ofcom, this includes things such as 'Material that might seriously impair the physical, mental or physiological development of people under the age of 18 must not be broadcast. There is also a code that talks about the use of offensive language that says ' The most offensive language must not be broadcast before the watershed (in the case of television) or when children are particularly likely to be listening (in the case of radio.'

H.)Proposed Scheduling Time
Our podcast will be available on Fridays at 7:00 PM because alot of teenagers will have finished school and adults will have finished at work by then.
Any questions that we have asked the local community will be asked during the week on social media etc.
