Below is my Preliminary task.

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

The radio jingle i have created conforms to the forms and convenions of a real media product because i have enhanced what is already out on the market, i have made sure that throughout my jingle and begining of my show i have got an equalized level and that i have a begining jingle that drags the audience into listening and 'introduce' my show, after that i then have the radio dj/host talking about the show and introducing a guest, ending after a very short talk with an archive clip of a piece of work that he has done.

• How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I believe that my jingle represents a younger audience, although it could easily vary with many older listeners who like to hear new songs and tracks that are just out and what they are like, also chatting to guest's from the bands and other sections of the media.


• What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

The kind of media institution that might distribute my media product is a radio broadcaster such as BBC radio 1, it is a very fast moving, hip station with many different shows which vary from drum and bass to rock, because of this i think it is best to say that my media product would best fit in on a radio station such as BBC Radio 1 and it would fit in well with the other radio shows they already have.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience of my media product would be hopefully a younger teenage audience who are up to date with new music and just want to find out more about it and what is new throughout the world of music, this does not rule out any older people and im sure there would also be an older audience who listen ranging from 25-40.

• How did you attract/address your audience?

The way i have attempted to attract and adress the audience i have aimed at is to follow the specification but still keep a catchy jingle and a very quick fast moving loud archive sound clip as i believe they would be more likely to listen if they like music after hearing this, one aim was not to have too much talking so that it wouldnt loose listeners from too much talking.


• What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Through the creation of my radio jingle i have had to learn and get to terms with using Garageband on the iMac, although it is not a particularly hard piece of software there is many different attributes to it and procedures you can change throughout the use, this means at times it can be hard, although, even with this i have managed to create an alright jingle and fullfill the specification, even attempting to equalize all of the levels throughout my jingle, to summarize, through creating the jingle i have come to terms, and learnt to use Garageband.

Evalutation

For my media i was asked to create a radio jingle for a program with i) a guest and ii) an audio clip which is from an archive, because of this and because i have created an alright media clipl i believe i have aetleast finished the specification and have completed what was asked of me, if i were to enhance or try and do this clip again i would try and get a better audio clip of the guest as i believe the clip i have got for the guest is not good but the archive clip is of very good quality.
I believe i have completed all of the tasks of me asked when it said all of the equalisations etc. as i have done this.


Thankyou for viewing my media.

Production of main Task

The way in which I created the jingle and radio project was using Garageband on the iMacs, I decided to use Garageband to create the jingle because it has a database of good tracks and sound effects that would be useful in creating the jingle.

Above is the bar at the bottom when you are on a iMac of recently used or open programs, below is the image that you need to click to load the garageband, click on the image of the guitar and it will load up Garageband:


Above is the Garageband icon that i had to use to load up Garageband.



Once i had loaded up Garageband on the iMac i then had to create a new Project using the 'Create new project.

Once you have loaded up this you will get a blank Garageband document, the way in which i started to create my jingle was using the database of already input sound effects loops and effects that can be seen below:

From this section i picked out tracks and sound effects to create a good jingle, i attempted to create my own jingle but i found it was extremely hard to time it so thought the best way to create a good jingle would be using these.

As you can see the blue bars above, i have added in sections of differnet loops and tracks that can be found to create a nice jingle that can be heard at the start of my Radio show, underneath the blue boxes there are blue highleted sections with a blue line above and darker blue dots on this line, this line of volume i have individually gone and edited the volume of each section as it goes along to try and equalize the sound throughout to a steady level, i believe i have done this well.

The next step i had to take after creating the jingle was to record voices, to start with the presenters voices i recorded straight onto the iMac's after opening up a new track in the Garageband Project and changing the settings to vocal, as can be seen below:

When i got onto the Track info bar which can be seen above i had to choose what vocals i wanted, there are many different types which can be seen in the box on the top right from no effects to megaphone, i left it as no effect as i thought it wouldnt sound right if i started editing the settings.

Once i have recorded the vocals they came up in garageband like the image above, with the dialogue being the orange bar.
