Radio construction

What was the task you were assigned?
The task we were assigned was to create our own audition for the radio 1 breakfast show.
Who was in your group and what was everyone's role in the task?
I was in a group with Kia and Imogen. Kia was the radio host while Imogen done the news and weather. I was the celebrity that was interviewed.
What fresh ideas did you bring to the programme?
We introduced a new game to the programme were someone from the public would call in and say a story. The celebrity would then have to guess whether that story was real or fake.
Who did you interview?
We interviewed Harry Styles as he is a British celebrity who has released a new song.
What tracks did you choose and why?
We chose falling by Harry Styles as it is by a British artist and high in the charts.
What was the running order?
We started off with the producer introducing the show. We then went onto the song falling by Harry Styles. After this we had the interview with Harry styles and the game were a celebrity called in. Finally we finished with the news.
Who is your target audience?
Our target audience was the same as the radio 1 breakfast show. So this was people between the age of 15-29 year old.
How did you attract your audience?
To attract our audience we made the game something they would enjoy and also had the song be one they liked and the song was also in the charts.
How does your product fit in with the BBC PSB remit?
Our product fitted in with the PSB remit as it entertained and also informed. It also featured people from all over the country to make it appeal to a wide audience. It also focused on British talent (Harry Styles).
What do you think you could have improved in terms of content?
To improve the content I think we could have a slightly longer interview with the celebrity and we could have been more enthusiastic on the recording.
What was your initial feedback? What did others say about your production?
Our initial feedback was that the production was quite good but could have been a bit louder and more enthusiastic.
Identify what went well and with hindsight would could have been done differently?
The transitions between audio clips were really good. In hindsight to improve I would have made it much louder as it was hard to hear what people were saying and it was hard to hear the music, including the background music.
