Evaluation

·         How well do you feel you met / achieved the unit brief? Why? – I feel as though I met the brief. The reason for this is that my radio show is 29 minutes long, includes music and speech, also I have included a news bulletin and I feel as though my radio shows meets the audience that I researched for. 

·         What were your strengths and weaknesses on this project? (You can link these to the hard and soft skills needed/used/learned/developed in the project) – My weakness included me not speaking for a couple of seconds making my radio show unbearable without editing it. I think my strengths lay in changing from speech to music. Using tips from hearing radio shows I tried to use the techniques they used from changing speech to music.

·         How suitable was your work for the intended purpose (i.e. as a student show for the college radio) and what makes it suitable? – I feel music wise it fits the purpose as doing the research I did it, revealed that peoples favourite genre of music is hip hop. With the news I tried to include news that would be relevant to my target audience. Doing news that might affect their future I feel met the purpose and made it suitable.  

·         How well did you appeal to / meet the needs of your target audience?  What were your audience's needs and what did you include in your show to meet those needs?  How did you find out what your audiences needs were? – With the music the audience research that I did resulted in the most liked genre of music being hip hop, which was good because that is my favourite genre of music, so I knew what music to play instantly. News wise I tried to include at least one piece that would to relevant to my audience I feel I did that. To find out what my audience wanted, I setup some surveys and got students to fill it in to know what they wanted.

·         Evaluate your work in comparison to professional radio - how does it compare / differ? How you could improve the professionalism of your next demo? – Transitioning from speech to music I feel I did well comparing to a professional radio show. I fi could improve the professionalism on my next demo it would defiantly be the speech. For the speech I would have to make it sound a bit more naturally rather than like a robot. Doing that I feel would make for a more professional sounding show.
