Preliminary Task Script

I have written the script for my preliminary task and i'm going to record it next week!

I have briefly listened to a number of pop music radio shows to get a basic idea of how jingles should sound and the ways that presenters speak - though I now realise that I will have to do much more detailed research before I script my full task.

This is the script for my Preliminary Task:

Jingle: London FM 98.2, the city's best music, brought straight to you.

Presenter: Hi we're back again with the drive time show. Today we have a really special guest, pop star Jesse Keaton. Welcome Jesse. Lovely to have you here at London FM, and of course in London.

Jesse: Heya! It's so cool to be here in the studio and I love London, it's got to be my favourite city!

Presenter: We hear you have a new album coming out? We've had nothing but amazing comments about some of your past songs that are going to be on it. I hear you're actually adding a bonus track of you making the album. Can we hear a sneak peak of that?

Jesse: Ahhhhhh thank you. It was so fun to make I loved every minute of it. Yeah...okay...if we have too (laughs).

Presenter: Of course we have too, all the fans are bursting to hear it. Let us know what you think on hash tag London FM.

ARCHIVE CLIP:

Jesse: NONONO can we do that again, it doesn't sound great.
Producer: No the harmony sounded brilliant, just do the second verse again.
Jesse: (la la la la la la)
Producer: Yeah that's better it sounds sooo good Jesse.
Jesse: Okay cool, let's call it a day.
Producer: Well done everyone, see you all again tomorrow.

Presenter: That sounded great Jesse I can't wait to hear the whole thing next week when the album comes out...(fade out)

Jesse: It has been amazing to be here, thank you so much for having me.

Presenter: Now we're going to listen to 'Baby' by Justin Bieber.

AS Media Radio Coursework - Introduction

For my AS media production I am scripting and producing a five minute extract from a fictional local radio station which will include a news bulletin (with title music, presenter, specialist reporters, outside broadcasts, recorded interviews, vox pops and appropriate sound effects and structure), jingles (station and show), extract from a song, show presenter and adverts.

I will also be doing a preliminary task exercise; this will include the introductory music/jingle for a show on the radio with a presenter introducing and greeting their guest, who will reply, and an archive sound clip relating to the guest (approximately 30-40 seconds duration in total). This exercise is to demonstrate an understanding of sound editing and mixing and the conventions of radio - but also to familiarise myself with the software and hardware i'll be using for my full extract.
