- 3. Research • The strengths of my research is that I researched into each one of my existing projects and focussed on what I wanted to involve I my audio project. My research helped my product by the way it influenced everything I talked about. • The weaknesses of my research was that I didn’t really go into much depth when researching anything to do with the new therefore I didn’t talk about anything which might have informed my audience about the news or whether. Next time I wont limit myself for what I research and I will go into more depth when finding out information.
- 4. Planning • The strength of my planning would be that I produced a lot of information on my mind map, this enabled me to create my product to a better standard. A strength of my planning would be that I gathered my sound tracks to help ensure that I was certain about what I could discuss on my radio show. • A weakness of my planning would be that I didn’t fully keep to my schedule therefore caused me to fall behind slightly. I would change this keeping to schedule, doing some work in my own time. It took me a while to find the right songs for my product considering I had to find songs suitable for my target audience.
- 5. Time Management • I didn’t managed to keep on schedule through out the unit which caused me to fall behind. I think that my project would be improved with more time so that I could explain and analyze my research and plan more. • Next time I will try and complete more work at home and try to be less distracted when it comes to working.
- 6. Technical Qualities • Compared to Nick Grimshaws radio show my product contains a large variety of music just like his. • A difference between my product and Nick Grimshaws radio show is that he has a genuine jingle where as my product has an alternative Jingles as I have used music instead of a little tune. • Another difference between our products is that Nick Grimshaws radio show has a music bed where as my product doesn’t which I think helps the audience concentrate on what were talking about. • Another similarity of the radio show and my product is that they both fade in and fade out at the beginning and end.

The audience would be interested in the different words. • I would improve my product by minimising the amount of gaps and pauses.

- 14. Peer Feedback Summary As a radio presenter, recorder, editor and scripter of this project next time I would change the layout of the radio show by adding a couple more songs in to separate the dialog, this would continuously grab the audiences attention with the variety of sound that they will be hearing. I would also add in a music bed to help the audience differentiate my radio show from others and help keep the radio show unique.
