Week 1 Production

This week was our first production week, following the planning i had done over the weekend since last week i could inform the group of the basic structure of the show. I created a radio clock and running order to keep everything on schedule. I decided to take the main presenting roll for this show as i had wrote the script and planned all of the show. We didn't get any time in the radio studio on the Wednesday as other groups didn't keep to their time slots, we had to make do and record all the presenting rolls separate from the music parts of the show. I had no time In college to use Audition in college so had to edit the show at home using Audacity. This caused lots of problems, mainly with the programme crashing and messing up the levels. I had about 1/2 hour the next morning to quickly edit the show to an acceptable standard which was nowhere near enough time, but its the best i could have done under the circumstances.
I also made the jingles at home, but again these were slightly distorted as the college systems use a different sample rate.
In preparation for my presenting role i listened mainly to BBC Radio 2 as this is the most popular AC station in the country; I based my script and features for my show around these ideas and tried to create a show that would interest someone like my dad who listens to Radio 2 all the time. I also asked my dad and other older family members what the like in a radio show, allot responded with the Jack FM style of show. In my show I tried to create a fusion between the Classic Rock Music from Jack FM and the Witty presenting and informative nature of BBC Radio 2.
As a Group we didn't work its as simple as that; we have never worked together before and didn't know each others strengths and weaknesses, so I had to make sure things were done by doing them myself, that way i knew they would get done.
