Radio Advert– One of the ways I took a professional approach was how prepared I was, I knew what I needed and exactly how I wanted it. I got all the pieces prepared and made sure they would sound like they wanted to before putting them together. Another way I took a more professional approach was the software I used, using the more professional software gave it a more appealing look due to the fact the pixels were better, the quality itself was better. It also gave me a bigger variety to decide what to add to the piece to make it even better, I could clip the words, change the volume in particular bits and change everything I wanted the way I needed

Podcast– With the podcast one of the main things we had to do was decide the topic and a small script. I made sure the topic would apply to people and that more than a few people would enjoy it. Thinking about my audience for a small project means that I can start to apply that to bigger projects which is an attribute that professional people use to get the best outcome for their project. And with the script It meant I wasn’t free raining it and had a sort of idea what I wanted to say, it also meant I could get the best people to interview for my podcast that again would sit best with my audience, It meant I could vary the topic so my audience could answer the questions and feel involved even if they didn’t know some of the shows we were talking about.

TV Ident– As our TV ident was a group project it made it harder for us due to the fact we weren’t in college. One of the ways we made this work was with our presentation we set our own slides so we all had our own sets to do, this meant we all had our own work to do so we couldn’t all rely on one person. It also meant we could build our team working skills by putting all our ideas together to get the best product we could with the four of us. It also meant we could all see the bits we worked on. Working on our own slides independently meant we had to trust other people to do their bits as well as doing our own, we could help each other as well as they were all on the same presentation.

Podcast– With our podcast we had to involve interviews which meant working in team. My podcast was originally going to be about just The Vampire Diaries, but after some advice in focus groups I turned it into a Podcast about streaming service so I could cover more ground, focusing on what other people would have liked as well meaning I could gather more audience. It also meant I could involve more people in the actual interviews, I have one friend who is into The Vampire Diaries, so I had to widen the variety to include more people. I changed it to streaming services in general so my other interviewee could talk about shows they liked or just streaming services in general, things she used and positives and negatives of the ones we both use. I also included questions so that the supposed audience who would have listened to it, if it was real could have felt included and joined in if they watched the shows involved, I also included music so it wasn’t all just talking because, when you’re just listening to people talk even if you like the topic it can get boring and you stop really paying attention. I think the choices I made, meant that my final piece was more professional because I took into consideration, my audience and the way they would perceive things, I also took into account my interviewees making sure they knew was I was talking about so it was less awkward and it flowed smoothly so it felt like an actual conversation.
