Presentation and Analysing shows!

I did my presentation earlier and was very pleased to get a distinction.

So, as for analysing radio shows-something which everyone else haven't done as well, I will talk about Heart radio station, this is aimed at late teens up to early forties, the show includes older presenters about forty-fifty years old. The Heart is a local station for Oxfordshire and often has updates on the latest news and weather reports. It was originally called; 'Fox FM', however, after the change in name, a new quiz show was introduced and surrounds older music, but of course to answer the questions, there has to be callers that phone-in and a prize to be won at the end for the winner that answers the most questions right. The quiz asks questions on particular artists or bands about records, when they released or who sung them, often the questions are really hard and are for more older listeners, since the questions are based on older tracks and dedicated listeners to answer. The bed music is usually cheerful and relaxed and the mixing is done really well, the times I've listened to it there hasn't been any mistakes.

The presenters on the Heart usually sound relaxed and informal, however, they can often sound dull, however, they are able to maintain a rather cheerful atmosphere, I guess it's because of the bed music and that the callers sound cheerful enough when they speak. The presenters personality is easily recognised, I can tell that they like their jobs, but that often they're a little tired or bored.

As for the final radio show my group produced, it was a great success, the music was well chosen since it weren't just based on one genre but on all types, the mixing was executed really well and the jingles were very funky and creative. Mine and Freddie's speech package turned out really well and definitely set the mood of the show, the presenters were cheerful and all scored themselves Distinctions at the end. It held my interest until the end and at one point when there was some technical difficulties when my speech package wouldn't play, they thought on the spot and continued on with the show and played other songs, they handled the situation very well and apologised afterwards about the technical difficulties.

Presenting in my speech package was rather difficult at the time, since I was told to act cheerful but everytime I tried in my normal voice to be cheerful, but it didn't come out so well, so I put emphasis in a different voice, since myself and Freddie did our speech packages together, we both decided that we wanted to make it unique, I found it really fun and enjoyed it, thankfully it played at the end of the show and tied in with it.
