PRE-PRODUCTION PLANNING WORKSHEET

Name: Ryan Case

Production:  My Student Radio Show & My Staff Radio Show

Task 2: Creation of Music Sequence
Task 4: Making your student News Feature
Task 5: Putting together your Student Show
Task 6: Making your adult orientated Brighton Feature
Task 7: Putting together your Staff Radio Show


Overview of the Projects (explain the project and what you have been asked to do):

Task 2: Using Adobe Audition, we have been tasked with creating the music sequences we prepared for the two different audiences in the music formatting worksheets for task one (Student and Adult.) After completing this task we then have to export our music sequence as an MP3 to the Radio folder on the media storage drive.

We then have to create a blog entry that identifies, discusses and critically evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of our music sequences in terms of meeting the purpose and needs of the different target audiences and what you did to ensure a good technical standard.

Task 4: We have to research, script (at least 540 words) and create a 3 minute college news feature in audition (this can include local and community news as well.) This feature can also include an interview, vox pops, opening jingle, music and soundbites where appropriate. Like task 2 this feature also must be exported as an mp3 file and saved into the radio file on the media storage drive.

Task 5: There are several tasks we have to do for this section:

1.) We have to plan our speech content and prepare script links (This includes; warm-ups, intros, signposting, back announcements, contact information, station idents, additional feature content etc.) and evidence on our blog.

2.) Produce a running order

3.) Produce a music reporting form

4.) Record and piece together our final radio show using the Radio Studio and Audition

5.) Upload our final show in MP3 to the unit's sound cloud

Task 6: Using the Vox pops that we collected in Brighton, available literature and personal research, the station wants us to research, script (approx 540 words) and create a three minute mini-feature about what Brighton has to offer as a tourist destination.

Our feature is to be inserted into our staff orientated radio show.

We can also include an interview(s) further vox pops, an opening jingle, music and soundbites, actuality as appropriate.

Once completed, we need to export our final feature as an MP3 and save to the Radio folder on the Media storage drive.

Task 7: Finally for this task we have to plan our speech content and prepare script links (this will include; warm-ups, intros, signposting, back announcements, contacts information, station idents, additional feature content etc.) and evidence this on our blog.

We must also produce a running order, a music reporting form, record and pice together our final radio show using the radio studio and audition, upload our final show in MP3 to the units sound cloud account and link to the blog.
Skills, knowledge and experience required to complete the project:

Task 2: The skills, knowledge and experience required to use Adobe Audition are quite simple. Audition itself is very simple to use after being told the basics, though the software itself may have some problems possibly due to lack of complete knowledge about the software.

Task 4: The skills needed for this task, like all of the others, is the skill of using the computer appropriately. You also need to know how to research the information needed, including where to look and what information is important. You also need the experience of using Audition in a basic way. You also need to know how to use the radio equipment needed to create your stinger and voice recorders to record your news feature.

Task 5: You need to know how to  use Adobe Audition, the radio room, voice recorders and how to upload the show in MP3 format.

Task 6: The skills needed for this task, like all of the others, is the skill of using the computer appropriately. You also need to know how to research the information needed, including where to look and what information is important. You also need the experience of using Audition in a basic way.

Task 7: For task 7, like many of the other tasks, is the skill of using the computer appropriately. You also need the experience of using Audition in a basic way. You also need to know how to use the radio room, voice recorders and how to upload the show in MP3 format.

Facilities (what production equipment / facilities will you need?):

Task 2: The only facilities needed in order to complete this task are; of course a computer, A YouTube to MP3 converter, Adobe audition, access to the internet and a source to get the music from (e.g. YouTube.)

Task 4: For task 4 I need access to; a computer, the Internet, Adobe Audition and quite possible voice recorders for the Vox pops.

Task 7: For task 5 I need access to; a computer, the Internet, Adobe Audition and access to the radio room to record my intros, back announcements etc.


Additional Materials Required:

In order to complete these tasks I may also require the help of; my Tutors, fellow students, other members of staff in the college and quite possibly even the public whether it be in person or by gathering information over the internet. This could be to help with gathering information, such as vox pops and general knowledge, or asking staff about how to use certain software as Audition to complete my task.

Contributors (who do you need to contribute to the project? eg. specialists, experts, talent , public etc):

Task 4: For this task we needed the contribution of both the tutors, for help with the task, and the public, for information gathering.

Task 5: For this task I needed the cooperation of my tutors in order to help complete the task.

Task 6: To complete this task not only did in need my tutors but also the public, weather that be via internet or person, for information and opinions about Brighton as a tourist destination


Task 7: To complete this task I needed the help of my tutors as this is a radio show for them.


Locations:

Task 2: The location for this task will only be a classroom.

Task 4: The locations for this task include; a classroom and radio room for recording.

Task 5: The locations for this task include; a classroom and also the radio room again for recording.

Task 6: The locations for this task include; a classroom and possibly Brighton for this task.

Task 7: The locations for this task include; a classroom and again the radio room for recording.

Codes of Practice / Regulation (Discuss here the implications of the MCPS-PRS, Copyright, Ethics, OFCOM, Legal Considerations.

Task 2:  In order to complete task 2 we needed to understand the rules of copyright due to the fact of us creating a short radio playlist with songs. This requires following the rules of the PPL and PRS which mean if this was going to be a real radio show that was playing songs live I would have to have a licence to play the music and maybe even pay royalties to the artist the song belongs to.

Task 4: To complete task 4 we needed to follow the 'National Union of Journalists' code and the BBC's ethics and values. This is because we have to say things in a no bias way so that we don't upset or hurt anyone due to what our opinion is about them. This isn't just for famous people but for everyone no mater how important. We have to be sure to make it obvious what is fact and what is opinion.

Task 5: Alot like the last task we must be careful of what we say and follow the code of the 'National Union of Journalists.'

Task 6: For task 6 we have to double check our research and possible take it from multiple sources to be sure that it is correct. Also as this is a report on Brighton we must again be sure to distinguish the difference between fact and opinion, this is due to the fact that we are trying to persuade people to go the Brighton as a tourist destination. The 'OFCOM' broadcasting code is also a set of rules we had to follow which is to treat all people and locations fairly and also respect peoples religions. one example of a rule they have for radio as stated before involves religion, the OFCOM rules state that it is unacceptable to try and recrute or encourge people to join a religion or group. If any radio station was to break these rules they would often be fined a rather large amount, though this fine wouldn't be to much of a big deal for the first time for a big radio station if this happened constantly it may cause problems.

Task 7: Like the previous tasks we have to obey the codes of both the 'National Union of Journalists' and the 'OFCOM.' This includes treating others fairly and make sure we make it obvious what is fact and what is opinion.
