AS Media RADIO PROJECT Progress/Changes

Group: Ilona, Sera, Rania, Sharon
> Blog is written by me (Sharon)

Feedback on the radio show from my teacher after the first draft:

Add a jingle at the very beginning, before the song (a new jingle, not the same as the other jingles used throughout the show)
Changes we made: using the longer version of the radio jingle first thing on the radio show, and a quicker jingle in between the shows
Insert the jingle in the dead air between the two songs
Changes: made
Introduce the song/artist before or after the song(s) - make the radio show more conversational
Changes: Rania has recorded an introduction and a comment after the song was played - to the first song by Arctic Monkeys, with a lively tone in order to make it more casual. Another improvising she has made would be an introduction to another song
A weather report on the final 3 minutes - make it conversational between 2-3 speakers
Changes: it has been recorded, although it was just 1 speaker due to time restrictions
Include a quiet/no-lyrics song playing in the background throughout our discussion
Changes: we have featured a calm/relaxing song played for the duration of our conversation
Too much time for songs and not enough speaking/conversation
Changes: additional recordings regarding a forecast on the weather, and more introduction to the songs
Remove a song
Changes: we have decided to keep all 3 songs, however, we included more conversations in between

Feedback on my blog from my teacher on the 7th week:

Making the images larger in my blog posts
Changes: made
Mention how your content will fit the results eg. in the morning time, thus, have a morning recap, what will happen in the day, traffic alert, etc.
Changes we made: including a weather outlook on the day to inform and give awareness to our audience
Include more information about what influences we have from each one of the radio research (radio shows, podcasts, etc.)
Changes: made
