Potential sound effects and music for preliminary task

-
I have thought about any potential music and sound effects which I would like to use in my preliminary task. I have am going to look BBC sound effect's library, as well as browsing through CD's in my colleges music library. 

 I have also included many sound effects, such as crowds cheering/being quiet, and the noises of tennis balls being hit, in order to resemble a tennis match. This creates authenticity and enhances verisimilitude for listeners. 









The music I chose for my jingle was Skate Rock, which is a commercialized version of skate music. Before choosing this, I listened to other radio stations of this genre, such as Talk Sport, which included similar music. After conducting further research, I figured Sport genres use rock music in their jingles as they have a predominately male audience. The average age of audiences who tune in to this genre of radio are usually around 40, who enjoy indie rock music. Therefore, I added more of a beat to make it more appealing to younger audiences. I also added a chorus effect (delay effect), along with filtering and equalizing the sound at the end, whilst Sound taking out parts of the sound apart from the middle frequencies. I did this because its what they do on normal radio station jingles. Music library files means they are designed to last a specific amount of time, which is why its good and works well for radio jingles

 The music which I chose also has a very high tempo which suggests rapid physical activity. This is significant as my chosen genre is a sports show. The fast tempo will also engage listeners as it has created an anticipation of excitement.



Below is my final edit of the sound effects for the tennis match:

Different types of jingles

After listening to a variety of different radio stations, I have concluded that there a number of different kinds of jingles on each station.  The site below includes many of the different types of jingles. I have used this as part of my research.  http://www.music4.com/radiojingles 1) Weather Jingles  -The tone of weather jingles are usually a lot softer than other jingles -They sometimes include sound effects (e.g. of the weather) -Weather jingles for weather reports are usually played in the morning, so listeners have an outlook for the rest of their day  -Weather jingles will include the name of their station, and often have the word 'weather' at the end  -Companies usually sponsor weather jingles 2) Travel and traffic Jingles  -Travel and traffic jingles include the name of the station, with the word travel or traffic at the end -These jingles do not always have music playing, sometimes they will have sounds of traffic in at the end -There will sometimes be

Evaluation - technologies

Throughout the whole process of creating my radio show and developing my research and planning I used a large range of different technologies. The technologies I used have been significant in enabling me to produce work to my highest standard. Although some of the technology was slightly complicated, I managed to quickly understand how to use it all. The high variety of different software and hardwares lead me to my ideas and creativity. Since first creating my Blogger account, gradually I found it a lot easier to insert hyperlinks, audio and images.  Blogger Blogger is what I have used to complete my research and planning, along with my evaluations. For instance, It has allowed me to complete my tasks, write about them, include images, links, videos, music as well as acting as the template to my final radio show. Within my evaluation, I have been able to link certain blog posts, to help me refer back to my previous work. Moreover, there is a very clear layout and

My final radio show is called North Side fm, and is a local radio show, targeted towards younger listeners within North London. I portrayed this through the news stories being locally situated within this area, by choosing adverts which I felt would appeal to a target audience of 16-28 year olds and creating a jingle which made reference to North London.  My radio show is similar to existing radio stations, such as Kiss and Capital FM, in relation to the kinds of contemporary chart music they play, which is based for a similar target audience, in reference to age and gender, as mine is. Despite these similarities, our stations differ on the basis of the kinds of news stories which are included in their news bulletin. For instance, Kiss and Capital share a lot of national news stories as well as local news stories around london, whilst Northside fm focuses on purely local stories which have happened within the area that the show is broadcasted in.  Global is a British media comp
