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.

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

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

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.

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.
