Media Studies News Bulletins Audio - RE-SIT

This is my news bulletins audio: Click here to listen to the audio

This is my AS Media Studies news bulletins re-sit. For this audio I used the same equipment from the last recordings, those are: my SONY audio voice recorder which I used to record the voices for my vox-pops. For recording my voice and for editing I used garage band from the Mac computer, this time the recoring didn't have the background noise that we could here throughout the last recording. For my opening and ending I used the same jingle. This time for my news script I used real news, apart from my first story about the May-fare (which I've also re-used) but re-wrote the stories. Before writing the script I kept on listening to different radio stations e.g. Manx Radio and Energy F.M from the Isle of Man and after that I had a couple of goes writing out the script. After checking it with my teacher and getting feedback on where I was going wrong. My first problem was the lenght of my first story which was the explosion at the hotel, my teacher told me that this story should be longer (aswell as my other stories) because it is considered as big news because a hotel has caught fire and people will want to find out whether the roads around that area will be closed because many people may take that road to work every day. Other feedback that I got from my teacher was my voice sometimes wasn't clear and it was too low, so this time I made sure that my voice was loud and clear, and unlike last time the news bulletins this time runs more smoothly.

All in all I believe I've improved my news bulletins compared to my last one. My last script didn't have a good balance, what I mean by that is there was more sports news that other news. This time I have a better balance by starting with the more important news as I have a explosion, followed by the Manx motorist etc. It gradually gets calmer until right at the end the last story is peaceful. This was what I learnt from listening to the radio stations carefull whilst making notes.
