Evaluation Of Radio Project.

We got a task to produce our own radio jingle show promo and Ident for SNC LIVE. First we had to produce a radio promo involving some of the basics - time and day its on, what we would expect from the show, the name of the show and radio station, information and facts, whose the presenter, what type of radio show it is and music that is appropriate to the style. We had to fit all that into a 30 second to a minute promo.

When I did my promo it was a lot harder than I thought it might of been. I struggled to get 30 seconds let alone a minute. I wrote a script so I knew what I was going to say, after I changed it made it better I recorded it onto the computer on sound-booth. Then i added music to it that I downloaded. The song I used was Ida Maria - I Like You So Much Better When Your Naked its a song I like and it fits well within the promo as its appropriate for the show as its a pretty modern popular song. Afterwards I played around with the effects with my dialog to make it sound more interesting by putting on echoes to some of my dialog to make it sound exciting and less just plain and changing the sound of my voice so it sounds distorted robotic like. Then I changed the volumes around so you could hear me over the music in the background because the music was to loud and blocking out what I was saying . The script I said was 'tune into SNC LIVE every monday from 4 right till 5 in the afternoon with matt. Expect all the latest music, interviews and latest stories. This week we got special surprise guests. So don't miss out and tune into SNC LIVE mondays 4 till 5' . As you can see I have all the information I needed to say, about the day,time,presenter,what to expect,music and the name of the station I managed to fit sll this information into my promo. In the end I think I did quite well with my first radio show promo and it worked out very well.

We also had to do a SNC LIVE news and identity which were both easy as there only 15 seconds each. Where we had to make an identity for SNC LIVE and then a news jingle. For Ident I had my dialog repeat 'this is SNC LIVE' over a guitar track I downloaded then a faded out distort guitar at the end. For the news I did basically the same as for the identity. But I used some different music sounds I downloaded changed around the order of the tracks duplicating some of the dialog so it repeats and I changed the effects of my voice to make it sound more interesting. For both of them I was pretty successful with both the news and Ident.
