Comparing News Bulletins

I chose to compare a news bulletin from Kiss 100,Capital and LBC. The reason I chose Kiss and Capital was because my new bulletin is going to be the kind of story you would find on Kiss and Capital for a younger audience and then I chose LBC because I want to show the difference between the three and how LBC audience will be really different from the other two ect.

This first news bulletin is from KISS -

Dappy says 'guilty' ruling 'aint right'
Jamie Foxx and Kerry Washington interview
Rhiannas hot new magazine cover shots
Frazers going to be a daddy
HMV go into administration


The second news bulletin is from CAPITAL -

Now thats a coup! Beyonc eset to make her UK comeback at the BRIT awards?
He looks familiar! Find out who Rihanna's hugging on her single cover for 'stay'
The song the world's talking about! Listen to Samuel L Jackson cover Taylor Swift
BRIT awards 2013: Check out the full list of nominations for this years event

The third news bulletin is from LBC -

Algeria Siege: ' Lethal Strike' on Gas plant
Clegg: Leaving Europe will put jobs at risk
Horsemeat Burgers: FSA threatens legal action
Sex ring trial: Girl talked out of complaint

We can tell that the top two running orders are really similar about a list celebrities and music events ect whereas LBC is primarily about really important things that are happening and also things from the house of parliament. If we didnt know which was which it would be really easy to differienciate between the top 2 and the last one because of the kinds of stories that are on them. The reason why we only get 10-20 words about a story is because the radio station want to draw you in so that you will read/listen on. There would be no point telling you the least important part of the story because you wouldnt be interested and want to listen on so they chose there words very carefully and they word it in a way that draws you in for instance saying things like 'Find out' it makes you want to carry on and find out. They also do things like 'Dappy says "Guilty" ruling "aint right". Here they have used two things that have actually come out of Dappys mouth.

Sound Effects

I used alot of sound effects in my radio extract. I found that most of the sound effects were for the news stories and the adverts.

All of the sound effects I used were from the colleges sound effects library. 

For my Advert number 1 on foundation I needed the following sound effects : 

-Door opening

-Door slamming

-Horror music

-Kids in playground playing

For my News stories I used alot of sound effects of background noise which makes the clip sound realistic. Even though when you hear the sound effect on its own you may think it sounds suttle when it is behind the clip you want it sounds really good and makes a big difference to the way it sounds. I feel that it makes it sound less quiet and more like something is going on because nothing wherever you are is completely quiet. 

Actors needed for the voices in my script

I had to make sure I chose suitable voices for each parts in my script so that it didn't sound silly if someone played a part that there voice didn't match too. For example it would be no good if a young girl played the part of a mum as her voice would sound too child like.

This is the list of the actors I used:

Katie (me) - I played one of the radio presenters, my radio station was for the age group of 18-30 and I felt that my voice sounds fun and buzzy and fitted the part well of the radio presenter.
Louise - played the News presenter, I thought her voice was suitable because her voice is very level   and consistent and sounded great for the News presenter as a news presenter has got to sound clear and should be easy to understand.
Alex-
John Althsop - John played the role of the soliciter because his voice had a great mono tone and it showed no emotion to what he was saying which was perfect as the soliciter was just reading out something that someone had given him too.
John- John played the other radio presenter, I chose John to play the other radio presenter as I felt his voice, like mine, was buzzy and exciting and would draw the listeners in.
Manni - Manni recorded my jingles. I picked Manni for the jingles because he has a very clear and bold voice and it would stand out for the jingle and would catch peoples attention.
Eitan
Georgia
Nadine- Nadine played the part of the child in the Foundation advert, I chose Nadine for the role of the child as she portrayed a whiny, childlike voice very well in her acting.
Karen- Karen played the part of the mother in the Advert on foundation. I chose Karen to play the mother because the tone of her voice sounds very shrill which mimicked a role of a rushing , panicked mum. Nadine also played one of the parts for the news stories. I chose her again to play one of the parts for the news stories  because she can put on an amazing American accenet which fitted the role I needed her to play.
Raffi-

List of actors

For my advert 1 I will need 3 actors. 2 woman and the last one will be a man.

I am going to use me as one of the woman. I think my voice will be suitable because it has to be someone that sounds young and will be paranoid and worried about how they look. It wouldn't be suitable to use a elderly woman for this part because my radio show isn't aimed at elderly woman.

For the second woman I am going to use Nadine because I feel she has the same young voice like I do and will be suitable for a woman again who is worried about how she looks as her voice sounds young and bubbly.

For the end voice I am going to use Alex because all the adverts I have listened to the bit at the end is always done by a man so that it sounds convincing and bold.

Potential advert 3

My third potential advert is a new shopping centre. The reason I chose this is because all woman love to shop!! and usually if they hear of a new shopping centre they will want to know what its like so definitely go check it out.

Potential advert 1

This advert is for Elnett Hairspray. The reason I chose this product is because I think it will suit my target audience of woman aged 18-30. I thought it would suit them because I know that every girl likes there hair to look nice. Its also a easy thing to advertise by just using sound and no images.

Woman- OMG my hair wont stay straight and keeps going frizzy half way through a night out!
I cant stand it any more.

2nd woman- Did I just hear someone say my hair wont stay straight?

Woman - Yes I did

2nd woman - Do you not use Elnett hairspray?
