Unit 14 Radio

  These are some sound FX and sound assets that we have found using free sound.org. Later on, we can use sites such as looperman to help find assets for our jingle, as this websites features more music and instrumental loops that could help us when creating a specific loop for the jingle.   I want our jingle to sound similar to other hip hop songs and to have a familiar sound because that's what our radio station is orientated round, utilising the looping patterns and instruments that are really Hip Hop orientated will give me the effect and jingle I'm after.  For our radio programme we will use certain royalty free jingles found in this video on YouTube. Along with this, we will include background music that will play during certain sections of our programme, such as the interview or introduction.   This royalty free trailer music will be used for the 'persona' film advert that will play during the last third of the song.

  These two audio files are off our first attempt at recording our radio programme. They were both recorded on a phone and in these, we try to understand how to act and talk between each other in a natural way.  This was good practise for when we recorded our programme on actual recording devices which were the H6 Handy recorder, it was good practice  because  we knew how to conduct ourselves and if we messed up slightly we would know how to deal with the situation. We used adobe audition to edit our audio and make it sound like a professional radio station. We used edits such as constant power/gain music would fade in and out, audio clip mixer to make the audio louder and quieter at certain points, we cut the timeline up at different points so we could add sounds and music into the radio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YU4wIKUGN0  (Offline edit) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8Ys-UGiZqw   (Final edit) D2-  The beginning is clear as we have an intr...

  Capital XTRA broadcasts their content live but like many radio stations, it uses a pre made line up of each song that will be played. This helps the host navigate the script better, so that they know when to start talking. Capital XTRA can be accessed via FM radio. However, it is mainly accessed on DAB and technology's like smart T Vs. Streaming their content via the CapitalFM website is the most accessible way to stream their content, as it  does not require expensive transmission equipment or broadcast licenses. Even with this, You will still need to obtain suitable music licensing for your web radio station.  Streamed web radio also has the potential to be the most accessible for your listeners as they can listen using computers, mobile devices, smart speakers etc.  You’ll need a licence from Ofcom for permission to broadcast on one of the 60 local multiplexes that are available in the UK. Multiplexes are local and only have a limited reach, so it...

 

 

 Radio   Jingle Outro  Cue Immediately to Ad: "Rated age 15" "Brand new triller, comeidc film, directed by Reece Pulham" "A film based on the 7 deadly sins -Pride,  -Greed, - Lust,  -Envy,  -Gluttony,  -Wrath,  -and Sloth, as a young man gets involved in the wrong life style and makes the worst mistake of his life causing him to have a tragic accident that will change his life forever"  "Out in cinemas July 13th this summer"

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)  In most areas around the UK, Capital is available on DAB. DAB is more modern and easier to use and can allow more users too access the radio station due to it being more accessible. To access Capital FM via DAB, you do not need a connection to the internet or WIFI. This means the content can be accessed while on the go or at home. DAB is a media mostly used by younger teens and adults who have access to technology like Smart tv's, Mobile phones, and Tablets. A subsidiary of Capital, Capital XTRA (formerly known as Choice FM) was changed completely to DAB in 2013. This decision was most likely made to appeal to a younger audience of users, who would access the content on digital devices, rather than FM. This improved the popularity of the radio station as it jumped from 3,156 listeners in the year 2000, to over 50,000 listeners after its formation in 2013. However, it isn't likely that Capital will transform fully to DAB, as they have a wide ran...
