Notes about how you contributed to the task

As an individual I contributed to the task by being prepared for example I downloaded three different types recording software’s, this was to make sure we were using the best software. After playing about with them we chose as a group to uses Audacity this was mainly because we used it in the preliminary task.

When working on the preliminary take I was involved by doing Editing & the Jingle. This was quite hard because I did not know how to edit so I was learning whilst I was doing it. The Jingle was also very hard because I play the Piano we thought about writing are own Jingle this was proven to be too hard Because of the amount of time we had. So we used a piece of music from a web site which is are jingle. As I had learnt some skills about editing I believed it would be good if I continued editing and edit the main task so no dead air or off-mike accorded.

I also listened to a number of local radio news bulletins; this was helpful because it was helping me think about the order, how the presenters spoke, music ext. As a group we decided that Sam was going to do sport because he is interested in it, Jack was going to the outside broadcast & weather that was because he wanted to challenge himself and he wanted to know what it felt like to be a reporter, Jenni had decided that she wanted to do local news & travel, I wanted to be the main presenter because I felt it would be a challenged I also did the international news which I found interesting because I had to do lots of research on what was happening in the world.

When I was finding out pieces of news I was shocked about what had happened in Hati, this was because if this had happened to me i would have also found it very hard to live. A few days later I was watching the National television awards and Sarah was talking about the Hati earthquake and I thought it would be good to put this into my pieces. This was pieces of research which was unexpected because i was going to talk about the awards but ended up talking about something different.

After people had found enough research we all sat down and planned the radio show. This was done by all four members sitting down writing scrip’s. This would help us to understand the amount of time we had and also helped use think of the timeline and also the running order.

Overall, I believe I contributed to research and planning on my own well but also as a group (mainly for the planning)
