LO2: Lesson Review

I will start off the show by an introduction followed be stating what content is coming up: Reviews on consoles like Xbox, Playstation and games but also accessories which help you play the game. We will be talking about three games throughout the show with each host having a lot of knowledge about that game.

We will also be asking local people questions and their opinions on the game where they will also have a chance to call in and discuss about what they know so they can give other listeners the pros and cons of the game and whether to buy it.

There will also be a section for sound effects where sounds from the games which we are talking about will be played for the listeners.

There will be competitions for listeners to have a chance to win prizes like a game which we have been talking about in the show where they can text, call or email for a chance to enter and win with a winner being picked at random.

We will be charging 70p per episode in order to try and make a profit and make it able for us to keep the show running each week. We will also be playing advertisements which are relevant to topics which we have talked about like a game advertisement will be played.

The target audience is aimed at 15-25 year olds with it being targeted at mostly males.

The show will be hosted every Friday at 7:00PM

Idea 1

I have chosen for my first idea to do a podcast about xbox related information but not just providing information about up coming games and releases but providing insight information about the game from my experience and products which will make a game easier or more improved for a user.
I have chosen to do this because it's something I'm interested in doing and I have expertise in this area which means I can provide a lot of information.

The target audience will be from ages of about 13 to 25 with most of the audience being males.The audience will be from all over because millions of people all over own an Xbox with that being people who play in the morning before school or after or before or after work.  

Further Ideas for Audio Media Products

I have chosen for my first idea to do a podcast about xbox related information but not just providing information about up coming games and releases but providing insight information about the game from my experience and products which will make a game easier or more improved for a user.
I have chosen to do this because it's something I'm interested in doing and I have expertise in this area which means I can provide a lot of information.

I have chosen for my second idea to produce an audio book about one of the books from the Cherub series. I have chosen this because it is one of the only books which interests me and it actually makes me want to read it because I find it exciting.

3 ideas & explanation

1. Audio book about some books from the Cherub series

2. Gaming podcast about a xbox, xbox games, latest realizes, products which will help you with the game or make it better like new gaming headphones, xbox pad, targets on screen 

3. Commentary about sports - Talking about a particular game like football providing good commentary

LO1 : Peer Assessment

In today's lesson I have learnt how to correctly analyse a radio talk show where I look at the show "PowerTalk"

I have listened to a radio show and picked key points out like game sounds and jingles which I would like to try and pastiche.

I should look at and talk about different softwares like Cubase

Analysis of Audio Media Products (AMPS)

In my report I will be analyzing 5 different Audio Media Products, Those 5 are a Podcast, a radio show, audio book,


The first product that I looked at was a radio station, which was BBC radio 1. The purpose of this audio product is to entertain the audience by playing constant music from all the top artists,bands and also involves the listeners by asking them to text,email or call in. The purpose is also to inform not only entertain because it informs you about the music which is being played like when it was realized, where it is in the charts and also tells you when a certain albums are being realized by a certain artist or bands. The second product that I looked at was a podcast by Inside Gaming, titled "
Xbox One and PS4 HACKED?" The purpose of this audio product is to entertain the audience whilst informing them, the podcast has one person entertaining you by playing a game, while there are two others talking about relevant topics which informs you.  The form of this product is a radio station. The style of this product is Informal because the presenter who is Fern Cotton has a more relaxed manner and friendly approach when talking with guests who come on, reading out songs, talking about topics etc… 
This product delivers to the audience an entertaining experiences which is there to make them interested and want to listen like if their favorite band is being interviewed it will grab the listeners attention. The meaning is to  Seek to engage the listener with thought by asking questions for instance, how do you feel about big companies tweeting you as if they’re your friends? Which then they get you involved either with thought or to ring in or text asking for your opinion. The genre of the product belongs to Pop, Rock, RnB,Dance, Inde, Hip-Hop which as a listener you can tell because they play a wide range of songs from a lot of different genres. The target audience is age 15-29, they relate to the large audience by playing popular songs which are liked by many people instead of songs which people don't like which will make you turn to a different station. The audio product is available everyday of the week, what is significant about that is they can have constant listeners instead of the audience finding another station what plays when they're not and finds that they're better which means they will loose it's audience. The product is produced in a radio station which is broadcasted on a specific frequency which allows people to tune into the station by a number of ways.

You have made a great point but you could add more this can be improved by speeding your work up.

Radio Notes

Notes on Radio

Radio stations must abide by rules and regulations of OFCOM where community radio station like "Sheffield live" must provide content for the benfit of the community where they must be for non profit and be on a small sace where they rely on volunteers to help out.

Sheffield Live is an example of a community radio statio whch doesn't have many adveets and play what the communiy want to hear with the adverts being played for local businesses to help them gain more customers. It has a few volunteers who help out there with the station distributing to a small audience but it isn't like stations like Capital FM which is a commercial radio statio  which is createn purely for profit. 

In the studio software is used like Cubase and Adobe audtion 

A mixer is what is used to store jingles and can control volumes of songs
