Lo4 D2

After listening to our radio programme I believe that it sounds similar to other real radio programmes. This is because of our inclusion of sound effects, jingles, music, and incision of our realistic improvised conversations between each other. The jingles that play after every transition sound very realistic and similar to products like BBC Fire in the booth and Capital XTRA which was our inspirations for our product. 

We begin the programme with a jingle, that then continues into an introduction lead by the Host. In this he introduces both the Co Host and the guest, and explains what they will be talking about throughout the programme. 

The strengths of the recording of our product were that we used the really easy to use Handy H6 recorder which allowed us to do multiple takes and easily transfer them into the Mac for editing. Also, by demo versions of the programme on our phones, we were able to learn how to improvise and carry conversations throughout the show. When editing the radio programme we were able to easily learn how to use audition and import different audio clips into the project.

I believe that weaknesses of our product would be the sound quality and the transitions between different topics. Although we used a really good mic, I still believe that the audio could have been improved by using a mic for each person, as this would have made everyone clear and understandable in the final product. As for me, I believe I had trouble switching the conversation to a different topic which made them awkward and elongated. 

If we were to repeat this Unit, I would focus more on how we interacted and how I am able to act like a real Host of a radio show. I would also ensure we use better mics that allow more freedom when recording.
