Evaluation
When we started doing radio jungles there were things i wanted to learn about. I wanted to learn, how to use the programmes and what jingles needed to include. The Jingles we made were for a show promo, an advert for a made up product and i personal ident that would be played throughout a radio show. Before starting our jingles we researched them. We went on the radio stations websites to listen to their jingles. We did this as it gave us an idea of what they include.
  Our first task we did was a 5 second ident. From doing this i learnt how to use the software which was logic pro. I feel that this task could of gone better as i thought the ident wasn’t very good. At the start of my ident i had a whooshing noise. By doing this i thought it was fun and not serious. I have learnt from doing this task that i needed to talk louder when recording. If i was to do this again i would have music playing throughout as i think it would make it more exciting as it was rather boring.
The next task we had to do was to make up a product and advertise it though the radio. The product we made up was ‘heat feet’ a product that when you put your feet in socks that automatically heat up. When we made our jingle we made sure that it had the name of the product, what it does, price and where you can buy it. When we made this we had music playing throughout the advert. We thought this would be good as people remember advert though songs and it also makes people more interested. I feel this task could of gone a lot better as we couldn’t work logic pro very well. I felt the piece of advert didn’t flow very well and it sounded like it was in lots of different bits. If i was to do it again i would try and make it sound like it flows better. I would also have more talking about the product so we don’t have to add as much plug ins, as i  felt that it made it sound very cheesy and a bit over the top.


The last task we did was for a show promo, in this task we had to include, the name of the show , time it was on , what the show included, and what station it was going to be on. I feel that this was my best piece of jingle work. I felt that it went very well. In this we had music playing throughout , i felt like this was a good idea as other radio stations have this in a jingle. This also shows people what sort of music is going to be played through out the radio show. While we had the music playing we had our voices go over the top of the music track. When this was happening we had the music playing lower while our voices were louder over the top, this needed to be like this as you wouldn’t of heard the important information about the show. In our jingle we told people that we were going to have a guest star which was Example. When people hear this in a jingle , they can see if they like it so they can join in and listen. I think our show promo was very good because it gives all the information and we have used a range of different effects to make the promo exciting.
Overall i have learnt everything that i wanted to. From doing these tasks it has helped me remember what to do if i was to do it again. I can also tell that it has helped me know the programme better as each task went on i think my products became better. If i was to do this again i can learn from my mistakes in these tasks. Overall i have really enjoyed doing this.
