Task 7: I need to record my final staff radio show, plan it beforehand and then upload the finished show onto Soundcloud. |
| Skills,
knowledge and experience required
to complete the project (you may wish to deal with all tasks in one block or
seperate out the tasks) : I need basic knowledge, such as linking songs together and using segue's on my music sequences. I also need to know how to use the equipment in the recording room and also Adobe Audition. My researching and writing skills are good so I shall be able to Task 6 quite well. I also need to have a wide knowledge of different target audiences as I will be creating sequences for various audiences. |
| Facilities
-
what production equipment / facilities will you need? (you
may wish to deal with all tasks in one block or separate out the tasks)
: Task 2: I need to use a room with computers so that I can access Adobe Audition and create my sequences. I also need headphones so that i am able to listen to my work. Task 4: Again, I need Adobe Audition so that i can create my news feature. This means I need a computer room and some headphones. Task 5: I need to be able to use the recording room so that I can record my show. I will also need a computer to allow me to upload my finished show to Soundcloud. Task 6: I need a computer to allow me to research and create my script for my mini-feature. I'll need to use Adobe Audition to record my script. Task 7: I need to be able to use the recording room so that I can record my show. I will also need a computer to allow me to upload my finished show to Soundcloud. |
| Materials
Required - what other things might
you need to complete the tasks i.e. music, vox pops
etc. I need to download music from YouTube to insert into my sequences. I also need my jingle to start off my sequences with. I also need vox pops that i have from my visit to Brighton. I can then use these for task 6. |
| Contributors
(who
do you need to contribute to the project? eg. specialists, experts, talent ,
public etc): For all the tasks that involve music, I need music that has been produced by artists. For my vox pops, i need recordings of interviews that took place in Brighton. |
| Locations: In what places will you complete the
assignment? The majority of this assignment will be completed in college, however for task 6, it was partly completed in Brighton which is where I gathered some of my research. I shall complete my recordings in the recording room and I will gather research and create sequences in classrooms with computers. |
| Codes
of Practice / Regulation
(Discuss here the implications of the MCPS-PRS, Copyright, Ethics, OFCOM, Legal
Considerations. For a radio show to play an artists music, they need to have a PPL (Phonographic Performance Limited) and a PRS (Performing Right Society) licence. If they do not hold both of these licences then they will be fined for playing the music. The size of the fine depends on the size of the radio station. When the station plays an artists song, the PRS/PPL pay royalties to the artist. This is the case with all artists and is done through music reporting forms. OFCOM are the regulators for radio stations and it is they who will fine a station if they do not have a licence and also if they break OFCOM rules. These rules include protecting under 18's against material that is unsuitable for them by scheduling the show, as well as simple rules such as ensuring competitions are conducted fairly. A good example of a rule breaking this is when Jonathan Ross harassed Andrew Sachs. Along with Russell Brand, Ross broke privacy rules when they left offensive and crude messages on Mr Sachs' answerphone. It is important for a radio station to have a high level of trust with its audience. If the audience find out that the station is persistently breaking OFCOM rules then it may be enough to shy them away. The NUJ (National Union of Journalists) has a code of conduct which applies to all journalists. The code states what a journalist is forbidden to do. E.g. journalists are only to intrude peoples privacy if it is in the public interest. It was important that I was aware of the code so that I could ensure I didn't break it. |
