This week was the Radio Rotation, where we would be analysing radio jingles and studying the codes and conventions, and then going on to create three of our own jingles.
Show Promo
After listening to my show promo I felt that overall I had done a fairly good job in producing a promo for my radio show on SNC Live. I felt I had achieved what was asked of me and made it work altogether.
Listening back to the jingle I feel that I could have merged the songs better, to make them sound smoother when it was played. Alternatively I could have put some sound effects in between each song which would have made it run much smoother over the jingle.
I did think I chose a good range of songs that went well together and that I felt would sound really good together. The songs were of the same genre and were all fairly “bassy”, thus going well together and making the jingle sound exciting and something that will make the target audience look up and listen.
I think I could have altered the levels out on this jingle as you can hardly hear my speech recording. But I also think I could have re-recorded my speech as they weren’t very loud or very good generally. I was very shy, and it ruined my recordings as I built up this climax to the speech and then it was very anti-climatic due to my nerves. I feel I need to be more confident in the work that I do and not be shy on activities such as the speech recordings.
News Jingle
I felt that this was my best jingle as it had an exciting beat and got to the point. The jingle wasn’t too long and therefore wouldn’t bore the audience with unnecessary time spent playing music. Also, the beat was catchy and lots of fun to listen to.
I felt that this was also my best speech recording as I “manned-up” and said the line with authority and it was clear. I also think that I got the levels for this jingle right as you could clearly hear what I was saying and also hear the music fading out.
Overall I was really happy with this jingle and didn’t feel it could have been much better as I felt it was what it needed to be, and I really liked the result I got from it.
Station Ident
This jingle was similar to the news jingle as I felt they were both good, but this one was also let down by the speech recordings I did.
The beat was also fun and catchy; it made me feel proud as my boyfriend created both of the tracks for me to use! It wasn’t too long and was exactly what I wanted it to be, I was very lucky in the fact that I could get them to be exactly how I needed them to be.
I felt that overall I would have been really happy with the results if I had been more confident in recording the speech, or even getting someone else to record them for me to make the jingles better than I had made them.
