Evaluation Questions

Evaluation Question One

My media product has similarities to real media products because of how we recorded, edited and found the information fore the final task. We used professional equipment to get our inside reports recorded and proceeded to go outside with Dictaphones interviewing people that have seen the show or know any of them. This was very similar to how most news shows do this sort of thing for radio shows. the editing including layering over most things and cutting to get it into a specific time for the radio show to be able to hear it which is what we did to get the best cut out of our recordings. We also did alot of takes on each thing we did to assure we were able to achieve the best standard in our work.

Evaluation Question Two

My media product represents particular social groups as misunderstood people. My radio broadcast is about a show showing a certain are in the wrong light. In my show we have been trying to show it as as a misunderstood place with area that are worth looking at and not just judging it on one place. It doesn't belittle any areas that we have covered to ensure we get the biggest audience possible and not leave any areas within our area out. The radio station is directed at anyone that is willing to listen so it goes out to all social groups that are willing to listen. This means we are showing most social groups in a good way

Contacting Participants and Questioning

Contacting Participants and Questioning 

We are making the questions for when we interview our person(s), these will be open questions so we are able to get more detailed answers from the people we are interviewing. If we had one word answers we could be accused of making up the answers because they aren't thorough and detailed enough to even talk about over a 5 minute broadcast. Open questions will allow us to talk for a while on our broadcast about our interview and it means we have a good idea about the article we are working with.

We are finding the people we could interview, We will look for people who watch the programme of course, from the ages of 16+ and live near or in the area that is being targeted because if they didn't watch the programme then it would be pointless asking them questions that they wouldn't have a clue about, the age was chosen because 16 is really the lowest average age that people are watching this show so therefore they are in the target audience bracket we are aiming for, living near the area is key as they need a concept of the area we are interviewing them on and must have some valuable knowledge on the area for them to give honest and unbiased answers.

We will contact the people we are going to choose to interview, we will contact these people and find a time and place where we can conduct the interview them, we will make the times and location suited to their needs as long as they meet our availability around our college hours. The interview is likely to be around 5-10 minutes long but for our broadcast we will shorten this time to talk briefly about the interview and more about the points that the interviewee made.

Legal and Ethical Research

Legal and Ethical

There are Legal and Ethical problems within the media that happen a lot of the time. This can mean people being put down as something they are not in the newspaper, online or on anything else. This can cause legal problems and can result in the victim gaining money and the people who caused the controversy a loss in money. An example of this is Kerry Katona where the Daily Mail published an article that was not confirmed on her being a prostitute before she was famous. She filed for a lawsuit and as an outcome gained a 5 digit sum of money. This is what legal issues are. Ethical issues include things like discrimination against women and age discrimination to elders/people younger. In some in some parts of the media this is a big problem.

Main Task Editing The Interview and VOX POPS

 Editing the interview meant that I had to get all of it done for my group. Before editing this I asked my group what they wanted to get rid of so I was able to get it down to what the correct length was.
This was
