Preliminary exercise

Firstly, we began to record the audio which would be used in the radio recording. We had a predetermined script to follow, but we decided to deviate from the script to create a more natural feel for the show, because conversations between two people usually doesn't involve reading lines from a script.

We recorded each line individually so we could avoid any mistakes and inconsistencies. While it could potentially make the show less smooth and natural, we opted for recording each line separately because it was far easier and more efficient.


We recorded and edited everything but the jingle on Audacity. The jingle was created on garage band on a mac.

Celyn - Radio Presenter
Edevi - Audio Engineers/Producers
Thiago - Photographer
Me - Radio Guest


When using Audacity, we used the time shift tool and basically just cut and paste the separate lines of audio together to create the single conversation that would be used on the radio show.




The jingle was a simple clip of audio created entirely by Celyn on garage band. It was intentionally softer because we wanted the jingle to be fitting for a radio. You wouldn't normally get a really heavy, hard hitting piece of music as a radio jingle but we also wanted to create something that would be lively too. A piano wouldn't sound right on a radio, but neither would heavy metal. I feel that the purpose of a jingle is to alert the viewers of the incoming headlines. If you're a passive viewer, the jingle should wake you up, and make you aware, causing you to listen to the radio intently.
Thiago concocted a flowchart to show the general progression and chronology of the radio show.
The jingle was created on garageband on a MacBook, which was good because we all used garageband before, so we were very familiar with it. Using this software made creating our jingle easy as it gave us the beats needed for an upbeat, sporty jingle needed for a sports radio.



Edevi wrote both scripts. We rewrote the script for a more organic feel, and in the end we ended up deliberately not following the script entirely, because we thought it would have sounded too artificial and not like a genuine conversation, as after all, you don't walk into a radio show and read lines




This is a flowchart in which it shows us how the radio production will take place. Firstly, we start of with the jingle. We secondly have the Introduction Audio. This here is the when the presenter introduces our radio station in which it helps begin the start of the Interview Audio, which is the conversation held between the guest (Bradley) and the presenter (Celyn). Lastly, we have the Outro Music. This is when we end our production and we also include some audio.

On the side, we see that there is some Background Audio; 1 & 2. The first one comes from the Introduction Audio, when the presenter which is Celyn, will talk over it, as it fades over. This also leads to the Interview Audio. Background Audio 2 is in between the Intro. Audio and the Interview Audio. This is when a little jingle is added to to the introduction of the interview. In simpler terms, the background audio is made up with the jingle, the intro, the archive and the outro. On the head of all of this, is the vocals from the dialogue between the presenter, who is Celyn and the guest, which is Bradley.





As we conducted this sports interview, we had to look for some type of inspiration to be able to do this. So, we took charge and went to YouTube; to try and find out what a sports interview consisted of. As you can see, it shows us a group of presenters from Sky Sports conducting an overview or interview. This gave us the inspiration and extra push to try and make our Radio Task as best as it could be. Although this was a video interview, the context within it gave us an insight to what a sports interview would consist of and how it would pan out. We needed to look for a sport interview specifically, because we didn't want to follow a generic radio interview, as we were on a sports radio
