Jingle introduction

I'm Edwin Richardon with your 1 o' clock news update:

ME
The May-Fare hotel in Douglas caught fire this morning as smoke and debrie scattered across    Douglas promenade. Recent updates say that the remaining people who were still trapped inside the building have now been evacuated. The explosion happened at around 11:am this morning. Local correspondent Mark Oldfield has more on the hotel:

Mark
I'm standing three blocks away from the May-Fare hotel where fire-fighters have managed to evacuate the remaining people out of the building, luckely no one was seriously injured and only a couple of people suffered minor cuts and bruises. The explosion was said to have been caused by a gas leak, I caught up with the chief fre officer Michael Williams:

Michael Williams
We've managed to tackle the fire, but most importantly, we were able to evacuate the remaining people safely. We don't yet know whether there are any existing dangers, which is why I have my men still inside the building.

What we do know is that the explosion was caused by a gas leak near the back of the hotel, and due to due to the size of the explosion and amount of debrie, we have had to close down the full lenght of the prom for safety reasons.

Mark 
The sound and strength of the explosion frightened many people, some who were only just blocks away:

Person who lives close to the hotel
I thought it was fireworks because the sound of the explosion was very loud, I mean... I only live like a block away and... it really scared me.

Second person who lives close to the hotel
I was in the living room with my family watching tele until I heard an explosion that sounded as if it was just three blocks away from my apartment... We ran outside and saw the hotel on fire!

Mark
That's the latest from the May-Fare hotel.

Me
Mark Oldfield reporting on the May-Fare hotel, a quick reminder to everyone just tuning in that the May-Fare hotel had caught fire this morning, the cause of it has said to of been by a gas leak, luckely nobody was suverely injured, however fire officers have urged everyone to aviod driving past Douglas promas it is closed for health and safety reasons. We will make sure we bring you all the latest on the May-Fare hotel.

Pause for 3 seconds (Me)
In other news Manx motorists are hoping that the planned rise in the UK's fuel duty in January does not take place. This could affect many motorists if the government increase the fuel duties up to 3p per litre, meaning an extra 1 pound 50 to fill up an average car. Over 100,000 people in the UK have signed an e-petition requesting for lesser fuel duties.

Isle of Man Treasury Minister Trever Richards says, 'If the 3p increase 'was' put on hold, it would be good news for drivers but bad news for his departments´ budget'.

Trevor Richards
We can understand why so many people are insisting for lesser fuel duties as it will affect many ordinary families, such as parents taking their children to school and businesses large or small, thats why we believe this would be the best decision to make.

Me
High winds and heavy rain have lead to the closure of the mountain road from the junction of Creg-ny-Baa to Ramsey Hairpin as the heavy rain and wind has lead to a minor collision between two cars near the motorcycle meseum, furtunately nobody was hurt. Director of highways Robert Harrison says that the road will remain closed for at least two days because of the weather:

Robert Harrison
The road is very wet and slippery and the wind doesn´t seem to be getting any better in fact it seems to be getting worse. As director of highways it is my job to make sure that the roads are safe for drivers to use, but due to the minor collision and the bad weather the road will be closed for the rest of today... but if conditions remain the same then it may well be closed until the weather improves.

Me
Police are appealing for witnesses to an event in which a car narrowly missed some pedestrians after jumping a red light. Officers want to identify the driver of a small, blue car who was accompanied by at least two passangers. The incident happened at the pedestrain crossing in Woodbourne Road in Douglas at around 8:40am on Monday the 19th November. Anyone with information is asked to ring Lord Street Police Station on 631-434... that's 631-434.

Me
Even though there's been chaos in Douglas today, organisers have said they want to continue with the Christmas spirit by having the Christmas lights-switch on running ahead of schedule tomorrow night at ridgeway Street from 7:30pm. The launch of the new outdoor festive 'Emporium' along Castle Street and Marina Road, scheduled for 6pm, will also go according to plan. Organisers say all other arrangerments will remain the same, including the singing of the Christmas carols in the Villa Marina Arcade before the lights switch-on.

Me
And finally the weather, cold and windy again tonight, with heavy rain. Top temperature of 4 degrees Celsius but close to freezing over the hills with the chance of icy patches. Looking at tomorrow and it will remain cold and windy with top temperature of 6 degrees Celsius throughout the whole day, and I do advise those who are thinking of going to watch the Christmas lights-switch on, to wrap up very warm because it is going to be very cold.

Me
That's the one o'clock local news, a quick reminder for everyone to be very careful around central promenade and to avoid going through Broadway Street as it is closed due to the explosion that happened at the May-Fare hotel earlier this morning, we would also like to remind you that the mountain road will be closed down for the rest of the day... make sure you stay tuned in for the evening report and for the latest updates visit our site at www.IOM/localnews.com

My Main Evaluation

Media Studies Main Evaluation

Q. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

For my media product I did a local news bulletin, the news was obviously made up. In news bulletins usually the main, big, important news always comes first, followed by the less important news that comes in the middle and news that is hardly important at the end. This is how I set up my news bulletins with the main news about the Mayfare hotel, followed by the body that was found and the 65-year-old man who went missing and to finish off sports and the weather. As always in news bulletins it starts and finishes with a jingle and luckily I was able to find the perfect jingle for my news on garage band. Using these techniques I challenge the forms and conventions of real media products but also develop them in my own way by keeping the stories short and clear.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?  

In my news bulletins it is mainly the same type of news that all radio stations would present during the news hour. The reason being is because it’s the kind of news people would hear every day and if it was presented in a different style, then the audience would find it weird. By starting off with “A massive blaze broke out today at the Mayfare hotel” the audience straight away understand what this is about.

What kind of media institutions might distribute your media and why?

My media project would be distributed to a local radio station, reason being is because it’s a local news bulletin but if a radio station like Manx Radio helped to make it sound professional then it could be distributed to a bigger radio station like BBC Radio 1.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience for my media product would be teenagers from the age of 17 to adults from the age of 30 mainly because the news is aimed towards both ages.

How did you attract/address your audience?

Usually in the Isle of Man not a lot happens in terms of big news, so because there was a massive explosion at the Mayfare hotel (which is only made up) it attracted my audience because they found it interesting. Also near the end when I mention about the great Eric Cantona that also had my audience listening.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

I have learnt that it is vitally important that you make good sense when you are presenting the news. It is also important to have a perfectly clear microphone that would pick any sound needed and also kept my voice clear. In my case this was a problem to start when I was doing my recordings on an old Dell computer, but thanks to a friend I was able to do my recordings on garage band with a good built in microphone. My digital recorder also helped a lot in a way that I could record some friends from outside to make it sound like they were at a different place. And of course garage band and the apple computer helped me a lot to do my edits and set it out the way I wanted it.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

I have learnt that it is very important that the stories make clear sense to the audience and also being confident whilst presenting the news, and also not rushing into the story straight away.

My News Bulletins (Complete)

this is my complete version of my bulletins. The improvement compared to my first version is the news that I read out. I made up the news instead of finding some news and putting in my own words and it was much better than my first version.

My News Bulletins (Old Version)

the problem in this clip was that I presented news that recently had happened which wouldn't be aloud. Another problem was that it took too long to get into the news (it was too spread apart)

My Radio Show (Old Version)

In this clip there are a lot of errors as I'm presenting the show. First of all in some parts my voice wasn't clear and it was hard for listeners to make out what I was saying, I kept pausing and not speaking clear enough. Also a lack of confidence whilst I was reading out the script for example.... I wasn't loud enough and exciting. One other error is that I go straight into the show by presenting my guest and pause him which I shouldn't have done.

My Radio Show (Complete)

After listening back to my first version I made a couple of changes, instead of pretending to have an interview with my guest I mentioned on the show that I have a small clip of an interview with (Eric Cantona) instead of having the full interview and having to pause my guest which was a better thing to do. the

My Preliminary Evaluation

this is my evaluation for my preliminary task:

Media Studies Preliminary Evaluation

For my preliminary task I done a radio show called “The Sports Today” show. In my show I had a local correspondent (Daniel Joyce) that brought in the latest score from a football match. I also had a famous guest that I interviewed, that guest was Eric Cantona (played by Pedro Maia) and the radio show lasted for at least three minutes long.

My media product (radio show) is aimed towards a football audience, that’s mainly the reason why the whole show was pretty much about football as I had my local correspondent bringing in the latest score from the match that was being played and also the special guest (Eric Cantona) being an ex-Manchester United football legend. It would also be aimed towards other people even if they don’t like football but like sports, reason being is because I had a special guest which would interest lot audiences to tune in and listen to this superstar that is visiting the island.

Bringing in the latest from the matches being played and playing a short audio clip of the interview with the special guest will keep the audiences wanting more. The interview was only a taste of what would come on later on the show which would leave the audience wanting to hear the rest of it and would have to stay tuned in to the show Not only it is aimed to a football audience and people that like sports but fans from the football teams would definitely tune into the show because friends or family might play for the teams and they would want to hear how they’re getting on.

During the creation of my media product, radio show, I’ve learnt a lot about technologies that has helped me to edit, re-do and improve my media product and without the technology I wouldn’t have been able to complete my task. Because I chose to do audio most of my work was writing the script for the radio show and improving them, so I posted them on my blog. To make my product I used a digital audio recorder and garage band. For my audio recorder I recorded my friend outside to make it sound like he was at a football match. For recordings of me and my other friend who played Eric, we recorded it on garage band. I synced the recordings done on the audio recorder onto my computer and onto garage band and because garage band is really good to use I was able to edit it and get a jingle for the beginning of the show. If it wasn’t for garage band I don’t think I could have completed this task because I could lay it out how I wanted it and have it as long as I wanted it to run for etc.

Jingle introducing the show

Edwin

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is The Sports Today Show, the one and only show that bring you the best and latest of the local Sport from the Isle of Man; your Saturday afternoons couldn’t have gotten any better. I’m Edwin Richardson and today our main focus is on football, we’ll be bringing you all the scores from the Manx Premiere League but we’ll also be keeping you up to date with other sports because that’s what we do! Ok I’m getting some feedback from match between St. Georges and Onchan so let’s not waste any time and let’s go live right now to the St. Georges stadium were our local correspondent Daniel Joyce is there:

Daniel

Thanks Edwin, 30 minutes gone here at the St. Georges stadium and it’s 1-0 to the home side, goal came from a fantastic corner kick and it was headed in by Chris Bass Junior, got to say the goal was well deserved, St. Georges have just been all over Onchan but there’s still plenty of time for the away side to get a goal, at the mean time though its St. Georges 1 Onchan 0.

Edwin 

That was our local correspondent Daniel Joyce bringing us the latest from the match between St. Georges v Onchan. Now ladies and gentlemen you may not of realised but we have had a huge celebrity that has come and visit the island. He’s been staying at a private hotel but I managed to have a quick word with him and managed to talk him into to having an interview, before I tell you who this man is… this is a short clip back in his time…

(30 second clip of Eric Cantona)

Edwin

Ladies and gentlemen this is the man himself! … The great one! The legend! And you will only listen to this interview here on “THE SPORTS TODAY SHOW”…. Ladies and gentlemen… ERIC CANTONA …….. here’s a sneak preview of the interview with Eric:

Edwin

Did you think that when you left football, you would go into acting? Was acting like your second passion after football?

Did you have that in the back of your mind as (ok I’ll try movies, I’ll try acting)?

Eric

It’s just “uh” a bit the same as football, it’s just different game, you have to work hard to find the confidence to enjoy it, and you have to be “uh” confident.

Edwin

Just listening back to that commentary of that goal you scored which was an unbelievable goal, some people may say that, that was your best goal but in your opinion which would you say was your most memorable goal?

Eric

“Uh” I would say that that was my favourite goal, “em”, but “uh” my most memorable goal I would have to say was against Liverpool in the FA CUP Final, it was…. “A great feeling”!

Edwin

Eric what do you think of Manx football? Would you say that it’s competitive?

Eric

I would say its okay.

Edwin

Stayed tuned in if you want to hear more of that interview later on the show

The one o’ clock news with Edwin Richardson

Edwin

Good afternoon, massive blaze broke out today in the Mayfare hotel in Douglas. Confirmed reports say that 9 people were found dead, and at least 23 injured. Some are still thought to be trapped inside the building but fire-fighters are doing their best to evacuate and rescue the remaining people out of the building. Part of the building has collapsed due to the explosion. Now that it’s under control the Douglas fire service say that the explosion was caused by a gas leak explosion. Local correspondent James Green is outside the Mayfare Hotel with the latest.

James

It’s been 4 hours of chaos here at the Mayfare hotel, the fire-fighters have been on a non-stop mission to evacuate the remaining people out of the building, and now that everything seems to be under control we can confirm that 9 people were dead… I spoke to the owner of the Mayfare Hotel…. This was what he had to say:

Owner of the Mayfare Hotel

It’s just an absolute disaster, I’m speechless…. I just want to say sorry for all the people and my heart goes out to the families of those who sadly died.

James

well there is still no sign of any people getting evacuated out of the building but we all hope that the fire-fighters can get them out safe and sound, and of course like the owner says “our hearts go out the families of those who sadly died” that’s the latest from the Mayfare Hotel.

Edwin

A body of a woman was found in a lake at Union Mills on the early hours of Sunday morning. The woman who was found in the lake is named Mary Parks from Leeds. Mrs Mary Parks has been reported missing two days ago.

Edwin

Sports now and the Manx Pizza king cup final is unlikely to take place at the bowl the year, “the new Bowl stadium at the NSC has serious structural faults”, said the spokesman. This means that the Manx F.A; the organisers of the of the Pizza king cup will need to find an alternative venue for the cup final this year. There are rumours that the venue for the cup final could be held at the Peel stadium, we went out and spoke to people to get their opinions of the Peel stadium:

Random person

The Peel stadium is a great replacement I believe.

Random person 2

I think it should be held at the Peel stadium only because the cup final has been held there before so it would be ready for anything.

Random person 3

I personally think it’s a good venue but we can’t rule out other stadiums.

Edwin

In the Manx Senior league Old Boys have moved back to the top of the table after a 2-0 away win the Rushen United, they now have a 4 point lead over 2^nd place St. Georges who still have 4 games in hand. In third place is Peel followed by Rushen and St. Marys.

Edwin

The women’s under 18’s island cricket team are set to go away to Holland and play a competition involving other teams from the United Kingdom. The team will set off on Saturday morning.

Edwin

The Manx rugby semi-finals are being held on Saturday afternoon between the two rivalries of Douglas and Ramsey. The match will be taken place at Mooragh Park at 3:00 pm.

Edwin

Many people from the island have been on a search after a very famous face appeared at the legends charity match that took place last week. It was jaw dropping to see that Mr. Eric Cantona has been visiting the Isle of Man. The ex Manchester United player who is currently been filming movies might be considering on filming at the island.

(Sound clip from preliminary audio from Eric)

Edwin

And finally the weather forecast, staying dry today although rather cloudy for the most part, with a few bright intervals, top temperature of 7 degrees Celsius. Looking at tonight and it will remain dry with a light southeasterly wind; top temperature for tonight is 4 degrees Celsius. That’s the latest I’m Edwin Richardson.

Good afternoon, the Manx 2 plane that crashed at Cork Airport at Belfast during the early hours of Thursday morning has announced that six people, including a relative of the Irish president, were killed and six others injured.

Instead of picking out some stories from the news papers I thought I could make some up by adding the news of: Eric Cantona visiting the Isle of Man etc.

Example of a good news bulletin

This is a link from Manx Radio from todays news giving a brief idea on how I will set up my news bulletins, with the more important news first etc:

http://www.manxradio.com/audiovault/MandateFRI.wma

My story's for my main task

I bought the Isle Of Man Courier and The Manx Independent to find important news about the Island etc.
Main news:

- Youth Games work at bowl on schedual.
- Now in its fifth year, lib Vannin confounds critics.
- Students celebrate start of Chinese Year of Rabbit.
- Alterarions to bus timetable are revealed.
- Drink-Driver at four times limit sent to prison.
- Another Drink-Driver banned after driving while over the limit.

Sports:

- 90th anniversary of bowls festivals
- Albany as quiz night raises more than £600.

Getting ideas for my main task

Monday 31st January 2011 - I am really running out of time! But my Preliminary task is ready to record wich will be done on wednesday where I will record the main part which is the interview with Eric Cantona. For the other part who my friend Daniel is doing the voice of the local correspondent will be recorded on Saturday becuase he is busy throughout this week and that is the only time he is free, which also helps me because we can do the recording at a football pitch with people having a kick about to make it sound like Daniel is at a proper match. For Sunday I will have my radio show complete. Now that I know that I can finish my preliminay this week, I thought I would start on my main task which hopefully I can get it done next week. So I done some reseach and got some tips on how to do a good news bulletins:

Tips for writing a good news story

Before you start to write:

-         Think about the purpose of your story: in a news story it will most likely be to inform   the audience.

-         Do some research and conduct interviews, remembering to take notes and write down useful quotes.

As you write

-         Use active verbs to show what’s really happening

-         Tell the really interesting information first

-         Follow this outline:

First paragraph

-         Try to hook the reader by beginning with a funny, clever, or surprising statement. Go for variety – try to begin your article with a question or a provocative statement. In your first one or two sentences, address the issue of who, what, when, where and why.

Second/ Third/ Fourth paragraphs

-         Give the reader the details by expanding on the five Ws. including one or two quotes from people you interviewed. Write in the third person (he, she, it or they). Remember to stay objective, and never openly state your own opinion. Use quotes to express others’ opinions.

Last paragraph

 Wrap it up, and don’t leave the reader hanging. Try ending with a quote, or a catchy phrase, or a neat summing-up.

My second Preliminary script finished and improved

Friday 14th January 2011 - My second preliminary script was not finished so I went over it and changed some stuff and now I have a finished version of my second preliminary script:

Jingle introducing the show

Edwin

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is The Sports Today Show, the one and only show that bring you the best and latest of the local Sport from the Isle of Man; your Saturday afternoons couldn’t have gotten any better. I’m Edwin Richardson and today our main focus is on football, we’ll be bringing you all the scores from the Manx Premiere League and much more, but today we’ll be mainly focussing on the match between St. Georges and Onchan, let’s not waste any time and let’s go live right now to the St. Georges stadium were our local correspondent Daniel Joyce has the latest.

Daniel

15 minutes gone here at the St. Georges stadium, it remains 0-0 but St. Georges have been all over Onchan, they’ve given them no chance to settle into the game. Not many chances created except for the one that hit the post from a shot outside the box by Chris – Bass Junior, apart from that it remains 0-0 here at the St. Georges stadium.

Edwin 

Local correspondent Daniel Joyce there bringing us the latest from the match between St. Georges and Onchan. We’ll be getting more feedback from St. George’s stadium soon, now ladies and gentlemen like every week we have a special guest that comes in to talk to us, well today we have huge guest in for you, we were lucky to meet at the Man United Legends Charity match that took place at the bowl were he was there visiting the island and talking to some of his former team mates and he happily agreed to come in and talk to us about his career as a footballer and what brings him to the Isle Of  Man, but before I introduce you to our special guest I have a small commentary clip that many of you may remember

(30 second clip of Eric Cantona)

Edwin

It’s an absolute honour having this man on the show, it’s the one, the only, Eric Cantona (Clap, Clap, Clap and Cheers)

Edwin

Eric it’s an honour having you here on the show

Eric

Thank You

Edwin

So Eric what brings you to the Isle of Man?

Eric

Erm I thought it would be nice to come and visit somewhere new, yeah, and, come and see some of my old team mates play football. I got to say that it’s a beautiful island.

Edwin

Since you retired from football you went into filming, could that also be a reason to why you have come to visit the island that you may be considering of shooting a film here?

Eric

(Laugh – ha-ha), well I’m not gonna let you into too much information but it could be a possibility that we “uh” could film here.

Edwin

Well that would be exciting for all the Cantona fans to hear. Did you think that when you left football, you would go into acting? Was acting like your second passion after football?

Did you have that in the back of your mind as (ok I’ll try movies, I’ll try acting)?

Eric

It’s just “uh” a bit the same as football, it’s just different game, you have to work hard to find the confidence to enjoy it, and you have to be “uh” confident.

Edwin

Eric Cantona speaking to us there ladies and gentlemen, we’ll get right back to interview, I’m just getting news update on the match that’s taking place at St. Georges, so lets go over to our local correspondent Daniel Joyce.

Daniel

Thanks Edwin, 30 minutes gone here at the St. Georges stadium and it’s 1-0 to the home side, goal came from a fantastic corner kick and it was headed in by Chris Bass Junior, got to say the goal was well deserved, St. Georges have just been all over Onchan but there’s still plenty of time for the away side to get a goal, at the mean time though its St. Georges 1 Onchan 0.

Edwin 

Now let’s go back to our interview with Eric Cantona, have you ever thought when you finished football, that you may be interested in managing, maybe even Manchester United were the fans would certainly welcome you?

Eric

I knew that it would take me a couple of years to learn how to manage but now five years later, it’s good you know I enjoy it, maybe some time in the future but “uh” yes not at this moment in time but in the future.

Edwin

Just listening back to that commentary of that goal you scored which was an unbelievable goal, some people may say that, that was your best goal but in your opinion which would you say was your most memorable goal?

Eric

“Uh” I would say that that was my favourite goal, “em”, but “uh” my most memorable goal I would have to say was against Liverpool in the FA CUP Final, it was…. “A great feeling”!

Edwin

Eric what do you think of Manx football? Would you say that it’s competitive?

Eric

I would say its okay.

Edwin

Eric Cantona ladies and gentlemen, I cam confirm that its full time from all the matches lets go back to our correspondent Daniel who has all the results.

Daniel 

Full time here at St. Georges stadium and its finished 6 – 0 to the home side, Chris-Bass Junior got himself on the score sheet as he completed his hat-trick right at the end of the match and taking the match ball with him, meanwhile on the other results; it finished Castle town 0, St. Marys 3, Ramsey 3, Peel 10! Great result for Peel there, Rushen United 6, Douglas Royal 0, and Ayre United 6, Corinthians 0. So it’s been a day of goals galore from the Manx Premiere league but the current champions St. Georges still remain at the top of the table with just 5 matches remaining until the season finishes. I’ll be here again next week were the “Big One” St. Georges vs. Ramsey will be taking place some time next week but from me Daniel Joyce, its back to the studio.

Edwin

Thanks Daniel, well unfortunately we’ve ran out time but it’s been an unforgettable day as we have had Mr. Eric Cantona on the show, Eric its been an absolute honour having you here on the show and we hope you’ve enjoyed yourself and we would love to have you back here on the show some time in the near future.

Eric

My Pleasure!

Edwin

Ladies and gentlemen it’s Eric Cantona! (Clap, Clap, Clap and cheers)

Make sure you tune into the show for next week, were going to have all thrills and spills again “honestly you don’t want to miss it”! This is Sports Today!

(Ends with the jingle)

My second Preliminary script

Monday 20th December 2010 - I created my second Preliminary script and went over it a couple of times to make changes and improve it:

Media Studies Preliminary Task

Jingle introducing the show

Edwin

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is The Sports Today Show, the one and only show that brings you the best and latest of the local Sport from the Isle of Man, your Saturday afternoons couldn’t have gotten any better. I’m Edwin Richardson and today our main focus is on football, we’ll be bringing you all the scores from the Manx Premiere League and much more, let’s not waste any time and let’s go live right now to the St. Georges stadium were our local correspondent Daniel Joyce has the latest from St. Georges vs. Onchan AFC.

Daniel

15 minutes gone here at the St. Georges stadium, it remains 0-0 but St. Georges have been all over Onchan, they’ve given them no chance to settle into the game. Not many chances created except for the one that hit the post from a shot outside the box by Chris – Bass Junior, apart from that it remains 0-0 here at the St. Georges stadium.

Edwin 

Local correspondent Daniel Joyce there bringing us the latest from the match between St. Georges and Onchan. We’ll be getting more feedback from St. George’s stadium soon, now ladies and gentlemen like every week we have a special guest that comes in to talk to us, well today we have huge guest in for you, we were lucky to meet at the Man United Legends Charity match that took place at the bowl were he was there visiting the island and talking to some of his former team mates and he happily agreed to come in and talk to us about his career as a footballer and what brings him to the Isle Of  Man, but before I introduce you to our special guest I have a small commentary clip that many of you may remember

(30 second clip of Eric Cantona)

Edwin

It’s an absolute honour having this man on the show, it’s the one, the only, Eric Cantona (Clap, Clap, Clap and Cheers)

Edwin

Eric it’s an honour having you here on the show

Eric

Thank You

Edwin

So Eric what brings you to the Isle of Man?

Eric

Erm I thought it would be nice to come and visit somewhere new, yeah, and, come and see some of my old team mates play football. I got to say that it’s a beautiful island.

Edwin

Since you retired from football you went into filming, could that also be a reason to why you have come to visit the island that you may be considering of shooting a film here?

Eric

(Laugh – ha-ha), well I’m not gonna let you into too much information but it could be a possibility that we “uh” could film here.

Edwin

Well that would be exciting for all the Cantona fans to hear. Did you think that when you left football, you would go into acting? Was acting like your second passion after football?

Did you have that in the back of your mind as (ok I’ll try movies, I’ll try acting)?

Eric

It’s just “uh” a bit the same as football, it’s just different game, you have to work hard to find the confidence to enjoy it, and you have to be “uh” confident.

Edwin

Eric Cantona speaking to us there ladies and gentlemen, we’ll get right back to interview, I’m just getting news update on the match that’s taking place at St. Georges, so lets go over to our local correspondent Daniel Joyce.

Daniel

Thanks Edwin, 30 minutes gone here at the St. Georges stadium and it’s 1-0 to the home side, goal came from a fantastic corner kick and it was headed in by Chris Bass Junior, got to say the goal was well deserved, St. Georges have just been all over Onchan but there’s still plenty of time for the away side to get a goal, at the mean time though its St. Georges 1 Onchan 0.

Edwin 

Now let’s go back to our interview with Eric Cantona, have you ever thought when you finished football, that you may be interested in managing, maybe even Manchester United were the fans would certainly welcome you?

Eric

I knew that it would take me a couple of years to learn how to manage but now five years later, it’s good you know I enjoy it, maybe some time in the future but “uh” yes not at this moment in time but in the future.

Edwin

Listening back to that commentary of your goal which was an amazing, some people may say that, that was your best goal but in your opinion which would you say was your most memorable goal?

Eric

Characters

Wednesday 1st December 2010 - I spent some time on finding some friends that would help me out on the recording for both Preliminary and Main tasks. Daniel Joyce will be my local correspondent for my Preliminary and Pedro Maia will Play the voice of Eric Cantona and I ofcourse will be the presenter.

For my part it will be recording in College outside of my Media Studies lessons because its the only time that both Daniel and Pedro are free. For Daniel's part it will have to be recorded at a football pitch with a couple of people in the background having a friendly game but making loud calls for the ball etc. to make it sound like a proper football match. And for Pedro's part it will have to be recorded at the College.

A clip of Eric Cantona

Friday 26th November 2010 - Before I created my second preliminary script I thought I'd watch a clip from Youtube of Eric Cantona getting interviewed to have a better idea on how I was going to do my interview:

I also listened to Manx Radio on the Saturday Sports Show:

After getting some feedback from my teacher and reading the script over and over a couple of times I realised that the script wasn't good because it didn't sound like a radio show, so I had to start again and read the script to myself.
