My first media Project proposal

My station ID will be Capital FM for this project. Capital is a station that plays pop music, and also hosts interviews with various celebrities and stars. It will be a show that would broadcast in the breakfast show slot and would be aimed at young listeners who are on the way to work or school. My guest would be the executive producer of The X factor. I would begin this show by playing a jingle that contains the shows identification and also the shows station identification on it. I would follow this up with a brief piece of introduction about myself and the show. My next task would be for me to introduce my guest, which I would do first through a verbal piece of introduction and then through an archived clip.

Now I will give you a more detailed description of how I believe that this whole project will run, starting with the jingle. The jingle will be extremely fast and upbeat, and will have a blend of synthesized instruments and m0ore traditional ones, in order to make the jingle sound like a modern piece of popular music. I would also lend my vocals to the Jingle, in order to make it sound more authentic.

The next part of my piece would be me introducing myself and the station. I would not use any particular accents and I would also try to speak clearly and concisely so as not to bore the audience and keep them interested. I would then begin to introduce my guest by dropping some hints as to who it is b saying something like “as you know, The x Factor narrowed its set of contestants down to twelve,” I will then play m archived clip which I will discuss in the next paragraph, before finally saying “here is the executive producer of the show to talk about the lineup for this years live shows”

My Archive clip would begin with a brief snapshot of the x factor theme music, followed by an a actor ( which could be the media studies lecturer saying “you've made it through to the live finals” This would be followed by the sounds of someone who is overjoyed about hearing the good news ( perhaps done by the generic sounds of one person cheering) Throughout the clip, a power ballad would be playing in the background, which would be extremely emotional, due to the fact that the usually reject people as well as put them through in this part of the show.

As far as my opening jingle goes, I will compose it in garage band. I will use some of the preset loops to compose something fairly quickly. I will then sing the vocals that I would like on top of the track either through plugging a microphone into one of the computers and singing straight into the machine, or singing into studio six and bringing it over to the machine.

In terms of my archived clip, I will borrow snippets of two songs, one will be a power ballad used to build up the atmosphere, and one will be a briefer clip of the x factor theme, in order for the listener to relate the clip to the show. I will have my media teacher record his lines in studio six, and I will attempt to find a pre-recorded clip of someone extremely happy in order to replicate the scene where someone receives the good nest

In the way of putting it all together, I believe that the best way to proceed would be to record the jingle onto one CD and the archived clip onto the other, and them I should then do the presenting part of this project live in RNC radio studio. When I do it live, I will also be recording it onto another CD. I will then take this CD and put it onto a Macintosh, here I will be able to edit my work using a simple editing program called soundstudio. The reason why I believe this is the best program for me is due to the fact that it is simple to perform operations using the mouse,
