Before I began any research I started with my preliminary task, the aim of this was to teach me how to record, edit and get an idea of traditional radio conventions I would be using in my final task.
I did have previous experience with recording and editing with my GCSE radio show, however it had been a long period of time since I had recorded so my skills weren't up to scratch. When looking back at my preliminary task the most prominent improvement I noticed was the voices I used to record. I realized that it wasn't quite good enough to just find the people who were available, in my final task I chose voices who I felt would relate to my target audience but would also sound good and professional. I also noticed the editing was much more smooth and professional sounding in my final task, possibly because it was a longer piece of work.
I found the preliminary task very beneficial and it made the process of the final production much quicker as I had already grasped key concepts of recording and editing before. When I look back to my preliminary task and compare it to my final production I am able to see what a difference a natural sounding script makes, and how important timing is in the sense to make all discussions sound natural instead of forced and scripted. Here is an extract from my final script for my finished show, showing what I learnt from my preliminary task, regarding representation and delivery, particularly how to make it sound natural.
News correspondent- Author and avid football fan David Cohen, has met with mayor Boris Johnson to talk about his new campaign called score against antiemetiism which aims to get rid of the racist element in football. he is here today to talk to JFM. Hello David,welcome to JFM.
David- thanks Ariel I'm so happy to be here
News correspondant- what inspired you to start this campaign?
David- well I remember when I was about eleven or twelve(reason why he's started now) I went with my dad to see my first spurs match against arsenal. One of the spurs players tackled an arsenal player who fell over. We were sitting next to the away fans and one stood up and shouted 'dirty yid'. My dad didn't seem Bothered by this remark but I was shocked. Being jewish myself I know that people are prejudiced against us, but I never imagined someone would have the nerve to do this!
News correspondent- but don't you think maybe spurs fans encourage this, I mean, don't they shout the word yid in many of their chants?
David- exactly, and this is what I'm aiming to stop. By using this word many spurs fans are encouraging other people to behave in a prejudice way. we can't expect people to respect us and not use words like that if we do it ourselves. To be honest only around 20% of spurs fans are actually Jewish?
News correspondent- So what are you doing to promote this campaign?
David- well were making our own television advert, the director Jacob levy has expressed an interest in the project so we're very lucky to have him on board. We've got pamphlets and posters around football grounds hopefully making people aware of the campaign.
News correspondent- thanks for joining us David.
Here are my jingles from both tasks.
