Radio Practice

In this session we recorded a preliminary task were we split into groups and created a radio advert. We created a newspaper called the Liverpool Gazette which in a made up newspaper so we could gain skills in creating a radio advert which is part of are coursework along with creating the first two pages of a local newspaper and a poster advertising the newspaper. Me and another two individuals went and researched background music to put into our radio advert and we decided on using the crystal maze theme tune :






Then we created a script which included the price of the advert and what type of news in available such as:

• Politics


• Entertainment


• Sport

Then we went into the recording studio and produced the advert which was a success, after that we went onto the computer programme Adobe Audition were the advert was edited. For the editing I merged the soundtrack and the advert created to complete the task. We then amplified the sound on the programme to create the correct balance between the soundtrack and the singing. Now that I have completed this preliminary task I find it easier to create a radio advert due to the skills which I have gained in both the recording studio and on Adobe Audition.
