- 3. Research • The strengths of my research was that I found 4 existing products which showed me when each radio show/podcast was created, what slogans they used, what type of music they play and what their logo wasMy research helped my product by the way it influenced everything I talked about. • The weaknesses of my research was that I didn’t really into detail about what they would actually say on the radio advert, next time I will research in depth into all of my existing products so that I could actually figure out what to say.
- 4. Planning • The strength of my planning would be that I produced a lot of mind maps and mood boards this enabled me to create my product to a better standard than I would if I didn’t plan properly. Another strength of my planning would be that I drew a couple of pictures for my radio logo so that I could pick between which one I should use. • A weakness would be that I didn’t prepare myself to talk on the radio advert which intern prevented me from speaking on the advert.
- 5. Time Management • I managed to keep on schedule through out the unit without falling behind. I still think that my project would be improved with more time so that I could analyze my research and plan a bit more. • Next time I will complete more work in the time I'm given and let less things distracted me when it comes to working.
- 6. Technical Qualities I compared my radio advert to Chris Moyle’s radio advert “radio X”. My advert had nothing similar to the existing advert, the RadioX advert had some speaking in it unlike in my radio advert had no speaking in it but showed off all the different types of song genres.
- 7. Aural and Aesthetic Qualities I like the audio part of my product although there wasn't any speaking there was 5 well chosen song which were blended quite well together to show off that I can use cross fad properly and which song sounded good next to each other. I like the stippled effect of the text and image because it look quite strange and alternative which will interest my target audience because they are from the age of 16 to 20, and my target audience is interested in upcoming music and are more understanding of alternative music. I used the name Plectrum for my radio show because it not only sounds quite alternative but it also relates to the type of music I will be playing because a plectrum in what you use to strum a guitar Next time I use colours in my logo so that it is more eye catching and so that it is more relatable to my radio show.
- 8. Audience Appeal • My target audience would be interested in my radio advert because it was entertaining and makes the audience want to hear more. • The audience would have been interested in the music I played considering that they are aged 16-20. My logo will appeal to my target audience because it has an alternative feel, also the word plectrum suggest that it’s a rock or metal radio show and my target audience seems to prefer Rock and Metal music to Pop or Country music. Plectrum also symbolizes music which the radio show focuses on. The font looks strange which will interest the target audience because their attracted to alternative music.
- 10. Feedback 1 • What did you like about the product? • The transitions between the songs were smooth and flowed well • The logo is very effective in communicating the genre of the radio show and is put together very professionally • What improvements could have been made to the product? • Some verbal description to the advert or dialogue saying ‘plectrum radio’ would have sold the show better • Some colour in the advert possibly to attract the audience
- 11. Feedback 2• What did you like about the product? • Because I am interested in the music you are using to advertise you radio show it grabbed my attention. • I like the rustic effect of the logo as it fits in with the alternative/rock genre. • What improvements could have been made to the product? • In terms of the radio advert make it more clear as to what its advertising and what genre of music is in the radio show. • An improvement for the poster logo is that you should make the plectrum more prominent and make the omi demon more rugged looking so it fits in with the text and the rest of the logo
- 12. Feedback 3 • What did you like about the product? • The transition between each song was smooth. • The Omi Demon was well designed I liked that you drew the picture used in the logo. • What improvements could have been made to the product? • Identify the radio show you're advertising • Make the shape of the Plectrum more visible just like Omi Demon.
- 13. Peer Feedback Summary • What do you agree with from your peer feedback? • I agree with comments regarding my radio advert needing to clearly announce what I was advertising because how does the audience know what their listening to. • What do you disagree with from your peer feedback? • I don’t agree with the comments saying that I need to add colour to the poster logo because I believe that the poster grabs the audiences attention only being black and white.
- 14. Peer Feedback Summary As poster producer next time I will make the plectrum more prominent so that the audience can see the reliability between the picture and the text. Also I would use a little bit of colour in the outlines of the drawings. As a radio producer next time I will make sure that I don’t just concentrate on the music ill be playing but focus on talking and informing the target audience who they're listening too.
