Preliminary Evaluation

I feel my radio project fits the specifications set well. My radio jingle follows the standard codes and conventions of other radio shows as the jingle and presenter introduce the show well, whilst the archve clip is relevant to the guest. The interview between the presenter and guest would be seen in other radio shows as the clip regarding the guest would come after the short conversation between the two. The jingle and backing tracks also fade out during the show, as would be seen in other similar media texts.

I feel that my radio show attracts my target audience quite well as the jingle and music played is fairly energetic, targeting a younger audience. The music played is also fairly new and up-to-date, also atracting the audience. The people who would listen to my show would generally be younger listeners, and maybe those on their way home from work. My radio show highlights new music and could be distrubuted by radio broadcasters like Radio1.

Completing the project has taught me how to use programs such as GarageBand and the radio technology that the school has to offer. The project also taught me how to follow the conventions of other radio shows in an attempt to attract different audiences.
