LO4 - Evidence of Editing

in this clip I am amplifying the sound of our shows jingle, so that it is the right volume for the show.





















Here I am placing the ambient house noises into the clip so it fits in properly with the scene and atmosphere, to make it seem like they are in a house to the audience.

Here I am checking the level of sound to see if it matches the other clips.













Here I am moving a clip to match it up with the others so they play in time.

Here I am amplifying sound so that it is audible.

Here I am fading out some sounds.

• must not be broadcast before the watershed (in the case of television) or when children are particularly likely to be listening (in the case of radio), unless there is editorial justification.

Offensive language
Sexual material

The legal and ethical section is on our planning materials section also. As we refer to Ofcom in a particular document.

Ofcom, rules we will abide by:

1.10 The use of illegal drugs, the abuse of drugs, smoking, solvent abuse and the misuse of alcohol:

1.11 Violence, its after-effects and descriptions of violence, whether verbal or physical, must be appropriately limited in programmes broadcast before the watershed (in the case of television) or when children are particularly likely to be listening (in the case of radio) and must also be justified by the context.

1.12 Violence, whether verbal or physical, that is easily imitable by children in a manner that is harmful or dangerous:

1.13 Dangerous behaviour, or the portrayal of dangerous behaviour, that is likely to be easily imitable by children in a manner that is harmful:

(Regarding Rules 1.11 to 1.13 see Rules 2.4 and 2.5 in Section Two: Harm and Offence.)

1.14 The most offensive language must not be broadcast before the watershed (in the case of television) or when children are particularly likely to be listening (in the case of radio).

1.15 Offensive language must not be used in programmes made for younger children except in the most exceptional circumstances.

1.16 Offensive language must not be broadcast before the watershed (in the case of television), or when children are particularly likely to be listening (in the case of radio), unless it is justified by the context. In any event, frequent use of such language must be avoided before the watershed.(Regarding Rules 1.14 to 1.16 see Rule 2.3 in Section Two: Harm and Offence.)

1.17 Material equivalent to the British Board of Film Classification ("BBFC") R18-rating must not be broadcast at any time.

1.18 'Adult sex material' - material that contains images and/or language of a strong sexual nature which is broadcast for the primary purpose of sexual arousal or stimulation - must not be broadcast at any time other than between 2200 and 0530 on premium subscription services and pay per view/night services which operate with mandatory restricted access.

In addition, measures must be in place to ensure that the subscriber is an adult.

Meaning of "mandatory restricted access":
Mandatory restricted access means there is a PIN protected system (or other equivalent protection) which cannot be removed by the user, that restricts access solely to those authorised to view.

1.19 Broadcasters must ensure that material broadcast after the watershed which contains images and/or language of a strong or explicit sexual nature, but is not 'adult sex material' as defined in Rule 1.18 above, is justified by the context.
(See Rules 1.6 and 1.18 and Rule 2.3 in Section Two: Harm and Offence which includes meaning of "context".)

1.20 Representations of sexual intercourse must not occur before the watershed (in the case of television) or when children are particularly likely to be listening (in the case of radio), unless there is a serious educational purpose. Any discussion on, or portrayal of, sexual behaviour must be editorially justified if included before the watershed, or when children are particularly likely to be listening, and must be appropriately limited.

For our radio drama we will need a PRS license to be able to play songs from artists due to copyright.

We have used these sites for music and sound effect, they are copyright free:

We also have identified that when broadcast online and on radio the profanity must be 'bleeped' out of the show

LO1 Task 2 Anlaysising a Radio Show

a) Running order
First off the show starts off with a small section of advertising clips so the as soon as possible they are out of the way and let the show go on. Then kicks in with a featuring song on the show, which automatically straight away gets the audience involved listing to the genre of music they tune into the show for. As this is a music show it then goes on to play more tracks that the producers have chosen to play this week. also they play the best rock as well as general news about bands anything else that  comes to attention during the show and  throughout the show.


b) Djs/ presenters
the radio show Spirit of the Wapentake is presented by Graham Marshall, Sinead Rankin.

c) Content
the show contains a vast range of rock music from the last 40 years which the presenters have much faith in it being the best as they are very enthusiastic in this genre of music. in the conversational sections of the show, they let you know about the latest rock news which is very informative, also the latest gigs, information on them and gig reviews. Also throughout they publicise new local, national and international bands in conversation and ones that come to their attention throughout the show. furthermore the rest of the show is filled with classic rock music which has been carefully chosen for the show.

d) Audience
the audience for The Spirit of Wapentake has a target audience which is for people age 20-65
, and that is mostly 80% males and 20% female. the ethnicity for this target audience is predominately white. the audience for this enjoy a large range of activities and memorabilia centred around classic rock music, for example stereotypically they like classic motorbikes like a Harley Davison and aa Triumph. This shows in the outfits they like to wear, for example, the flannel shirts and leather jackets which make their style of dress very independent and recognisable to the public.

LO1 - Investigating a radio station

Community radio stations operate on a small scale which is for the good of the public, put something into the community and get something back, this is stated by OfCom and operated not for profit. Sheffield Live provide a service foe underserved groups. The owner of Sheffield Live is Commedia Sheffield, and they are the Community Media Association (CMA) who is committed to promoting access to the media for people and communities. they enable people to establish and develop community-based communications media for empowerment, cultural expression, information and entertainment. some of the programs Sheffield Live! broadcast are: 
Community Live
Spirit of the Wapentake
The Local Talent Show
Soul Purpose
Vancouver Manœuvre  

They produce these programs as they are appealing to the community audience which is very wide. 
Theses shows are in many different types of genres ranging from basic talk and discussion show, to music shows. for example Community Live is a show which is hosted by a range of volunteers that discuss many different topics. they Broadcast this as it appeals very well to their audience as it does cover a large range of topics. Spirit of the Wapentake is South Yorkshires no.1 rock show which has been going for 8 years, they play the best rock music from the past 40 years or so. Also another show is The Local Talent Show, is a show that showcases the local artists, bands and songwriters who are interviewed and perform live every week.

Sheffield Live's target audience is very wide, as there programs cater for a large range of people for example their music shows range from ragga to rock, which aims at people of all races and walks of live. their main target audience is for people living in specific areas of sheffield, like Manor and Darnall, this is because people that live in these areas are very diverse and so are there interests this is why the target them with their large range of shows. The broadcasts reach 32.000 people a week and that is 11% reached people in transmission coverage. The target audience for The Local Talent Show are one that is for a younger generation who are interested in discovering new music to be seen as hipster and original. this audience is mainly C2DE because of their job rolls and spending power.

the community media association are an independent company which help to set up Sheffield Live! the CMA are in charge of most of the production process within Sheffield Live!. a large amount of the shows broad cast are recorded live which mean everything has to run smoothy. they're involved in every step of the way of the recording processes, from recording, to editing and distributing. The key teams that help within pre-production are the scheduling team, the music management, content management, budgeting team, and contingency planning. Also a large range of documentation needed, production schedules, call sheets, studio plans, logging sheets, scripts. also in pre production the scheduling team need to look at the legal and ethical side of things and apply with Ofcoms rules of the watershed, so programmes that are crude or not appropriate for a younger audience are shown after a certain time. furthermore during pre-production advertising has to be done in a large range of way using social media and banners to make sure that the show has a vast audience. During production, the show is broadcast live on the website and on analogue technology, they have to be careful with live shows as to broadcast appropriate content. Throughout the show the presents use a mixing desk and faders that are used to introduce each unit of the show. In post production a large amount of editing is still used to make sure there are no sounds that shouldn't be there and also editing in music behind the spoken audio. just like Podcast are heavily edited in post production in Adobe Audition and Cuebase.

the main competitors for Sheffield Live! are BBC Radio Sheffield and Hallam Radio. they are seen as there competitors because they all play similar radio shows but Sheffield Live! are more independent and original as of the diverse amount of shows they produce. for example Sheffield Live have the show Talking Balls which is very similar to BBC Radio Sheffield's show of Football Heaven. Sheffield Live further stands out from its competitors as it is a non-profit organisation. 32,000 people tune into Sheffield live every week.
