The Evaluation of the Audio Project

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
The Jingle I have made is catchy which is what the main aspect of the jingle is. The jingle itself is memorable but won’t stick until you heard it the second or third time as there are a lot of loops in there. It is memorable thought after hearing the jingle a couple of times as it is quite catchy and not boring. I think it will do the job of instantly remind the listener of the station of the programme they tuned into. The Jingle that I’ve create does match the kinds of music the station is broadcasting, that is way I have a catchy song all about facts of life which is what the radio station is based on facts and figures. The Jingle I have made is a short piece bit of music that occur during programme or news bulleting to signal transition from one section to another. I believe it is a good Jingle/start of a radio show, as there is no silence, it is interesting and the jingle is catchy.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My media product represents mainly teenagers up to about 24 – 25. There is no other radio station like it in Jersey so has a niche market for it. The closest competition is either radio 1, although that has affairs about England not about Jersey and also Radio Jersey, which is generally for the older generation not for students. A young modern radio station with some current affairs around the world, facts and figures, gossip, education and job offers and dates is what the show will mainly be about as that is what young people generally like to hear. Songs will be mainly be decided by the audience by text messages. Guests will be either celebrates interviewed in the UK or over here ion Jersey. I believe it does represent this social group as all the things said and the songs played will be what my social groups want to hear.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Well this is generally aimed at Schools and colleges who are doing GCSE’s or above. It will serve as a form of entertainment radio channel with career advertisements and big parties such as timings and dates on a fire work display or bomb fire night or possible cancellations. The radio station can just be on in lunch time or in a common room some where. This will be a great success I think, this is because advertisement can bring money to be on the air and once it is in all the schools, it is a perfect way to communicate with thousands of people ready for employment, invitations and major events.

Who would be the audience for your media product?
The main target audience is any class ABC1 C2DF between 10 to 24-25. But any one can listen, as it might interest them as well finding out gossip, dates, facts and career opportunities.

How did you attract/address your audience?
To attract my audience, the use of important dates, such as the new shopping mall opening, which everybody wants to know and when music artists are playing in Jersey. Also with that, these types of facts, dates, and figures and of course gossip and news would attract my target audience.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Personally, I have learnt a lot with this program. Even if you are not very musical, you can still come out with a very good product at the end. With all the functions and editing you can do with the program, its amazing what you can do with it. The program itself is very easy to use and although there are lots of functions, they are all easy to use and hear clearly what difference it makes.
