along with who should present, how we would incorporate Children In Need and how we wanted our audience to feel after our show.
We felt our morning show needed lively, ambitious presenters who would wake up their listener and keep them amused. So we decided that Jon and Brett would be a good combination as they both bring a different element to presenting and their difference in personalities along with their different voices. Jon is able to play with his voice and easily put on accents and tones which makes him interesting to listen to where Brett is very relatable to other people and his voice is quite husky and has a welcoming tone to it which is very nice for the morning such as other presenters like Chris Moyles who have a deep melodic voice.
We also felt that similar to other morning radio shows such as Touch Fm it would be a good idea to have a short news every fifteen minutes to keep our listeners up to date as in the morning people are traveling to school and work and by playing the news every fifteen minutes are most likely to catch it. Also we drafted some ideas for features, such as a pre-recorded quiz, where we could add in sound effects (buzzers) to make the show more audio challenged, also a game where a short clip of a song is played backwards and the audience can get in contact with what they think it is. However we want to raise money and awareness about Children in Need so games, features would be a professional way to incorporate this charity, such as poke the presenter, where we have a giant finger and on the live streaming the audience can watch them get poked all the have to do is donate a small amount, however how would we know? and also this idea seemed quite boring so we have decided it might be a good idea to dedicate 15minutes of both of our shows to Children in Need, where we have a short documentary type feature about a child involved Children in Need along with something lighthearted such as the top 5 previous years number one Children in Need songs. Also our presenters could talk about the charity and we could do an interview with someone involved with Stratford College Does Children In Need.
Features
Guess That Tune - created by myself, Gemma and Jamie. We felt this idea incorporates music and a feature and we are able to make it appropriate to Children In Need and we can make it more professional by adding in sound effects. Also Guess That Tune is a short 1 minute feature which allows the show not to fall into a boring repetative fashion where tehf eatures are several minutes long. This is a short fresh feature suitable to our radio station.
Pre Recorded Quiz- involves almost everyone in our group and everyone was involved with the production. The questions were researched and wanted to be a variety of topics and different styles of questions, such as backward spelling bees and trick questions. This feature is over 9minutes long and we decided to use it in the morning show because Jon who is presenting the morning show is the quiz master and it will help wake our audiences up.
Wheres kris- Our morning show and afternoon both follow opposite styles and are aimed at different audiences however we plan to tie our programs together by switching two features around which follow the same style called "wheres jon?" and "wheres kris?". In the morning show unless we changed the title to "where has jon been?" it would look unprofessional for him to be in the studio guessing where he was when the feature is about him, so we decided to put "wheres Kris?" into Jons show therefore showing the audience we are one radio station. the game is very simple and as its all pre-recorded we were able to attach a soundbed to the feature whilst the game is being played and therfore adds professionalism to our program.
Children In Need- We have threefeatures about Children in Need, one is about a girl in hospital with Cancer, I recorded her off the internet and added it together with Gemma also I added an echo effect onto Gemmas voice as it sounds less hard and the angle of the feature is to give our audience a sudden hit back to reality that this kind is continuing in the world, however we didnt want to make it long winded so its only a minute long but very hard hitting. Along with this feature we have a very lighthearted slightly commical feature involving the last 5years Number one hits of Children In Need all pushed together into a 3 minute song, as when we researched the song and discovered what music it was we realised it was very outdated and that our audience wouldnt want to listen to all of these songs. So instead we cut them all together and let one song finish off the lyric of another which makes sentences that make no sense.
We have finished off our 15minutes of Children In Need with an interview with Andy Tyres, we did want this to be live however Andy is a busy man and we decided it would be much easier to have a prerecorded interview with him, also the interviewee is Gemma because during our focus group we had people say that there was alot of men in our shows.
News every 15 minutes - it is a code and convention for breakfast shows to have a 15minute travel and news update, we have decided that at quarter past and quarter to we shall have a short 1 minute news update but that at half hour it will be a full detailed news report by an outsider co-presenter such as News Beat on Radio 1.
