Evaluation

We created two, one hour shows for our music based assignment. One of them being live, the other being recorded. We decided to let The encore show be the live show as it fits in more with the theme of Children In Need.
For both shows, my role was P.A as its very important to be on time especially for our live show, as we was on a tight scehdule. i find my self at ease when i'm taking the role as P.A. The only problem i had was to keep quiet, and having to symbolise how long we have left rather than say it out loud. For the encore show, we had an extra camera in the room, so for entertainment purposes and for children in need, myself and amy danced infront of the cameras. This was all just for a bit of fun, but i understood that this was my assignment and i did take it seriously. For pre - production i created the Idents for both shows and got involved with any Cross Media i could. For example, i took a few photos of the team members at work to be placed on our facebook pages, i was acting in the Video features for The encore show and i directed and camera assisted the promo for the Tea and Toast show which is also on the facebook page. With the promo being on the social networking websites, this means that this is going to be watched mostly by our targeted audience (16-24).
The content in the Tea and Toast show, i believe could not be suited better. By having young presenters makes it easier for our audience to relate to both male and female. Features such as prank calls teenagers would find humorous. And by asking them to send in photos of their breakfast is all to do with todays techonology being able to do it on their phones. The music we had on this show was related to our audience as its all chart music which is listened to by many teenagers. With them being happy upbeat songs too, it gets the audience in the mood for the day because its a morning show. Idents were also very upbeat and happy, not just to attract our audience but to also change our audiences mood to a happier mood. The idents could have been a lot shorter and snappier as they only need to be short and sweet. I thought that we should have had 2 presenters rather than 3. The more presenters we have, the more chance they will speak on top of each other and the listener wouldnt be able to understand whats being said. I also think that sam sligtly took over most talk times and Adele and Amy had not so much, but they all had good chemistry. A few things that we could have improved on was coming into speeech idents and songs, the transition between all. The way this could be improved is for Ollie to officially give the presenter a signal to start speaking and that he makes sure that the levels are right up so its clear when theyre speaking. Because this shoe had alot of chat in it, we could not predict when any of the presenters would distort the microphones. The only way we could present this, is to warn all presenters if they were going to scream/be loud, move away from the microphone.

The content for the encore show was also very suited to the audience of 25 + women in particular. By having a female presenter speaking very maturely, this adds to the interpretation of the Elain Paige show we was aiming for. The music included in our afternoon show was all based around our primary research so its perfectly targeted to our audience because its what they wanted. The same applied to our features, and luckily enough we had a feature that linked to Children in need when our college went to Hairpsray at the hippodrome so we included this to our show. Mainly this show is where me and Amy had included our dancing skills to the camera. this is just for fun and entertainment purposes. We didnt have a soundbed on the Encore show, just liek the Elain paige as if it works for Elain Paige with the same targeted audience then it will work with us. The presenter being alone works very well, but listening to it back it does seem like she's reading, if we had a second chance, we would make sure that it doesnt sound read and make her sound alot more fluent.

I do believe both of our morning and afternoon show worked really well. Job roles given out to everbody was equal and fair and a lot of team work was given. Personally, i thought i should have took the role as P.A a bit more serious than i did, (but i couldnt help it than to be excited and dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but the shows reached their targeted audience.

One way of gettin feedback is to create another questonaire jus for around the college to ask them how the show went, what could have gone better, what they enjoyed etc, as the encore show was broadcasted round the college, so most students would have listened/watched it.
