Radio Demo Evaluation

I feel like I have met the unit brief because I have recorded a radio demo that is 20 minutes or longer that is aimed at 16-19 year olds. I have made sure that I have done my audience research so that I have picked music that relates to 16-19 year olds.

There is also a 2 minute news bulletin in my radio demo and the news stories appeal to my target audience.

My strengths on this project were mainly knowing how to use audition and the hardware needed to record the radio demo. My improvisation ability helped out alot with the radio show with some of the conversations that we had on the show.

My weaknesses on this project mainly was my confidence that let me down at the start of the project, but as we continued with the recording I felt better and my confidence was boosted.

My work was suitable for the intended purpose because it fits to the target audience and the things that we talked about on the show related to the target audience.

My target audience was 16-19 year olds that preferred electro music. This meant that the music that was played on the show were from genres like trance, techno, drumstep, etc.

I found out my target audience by using results from a questionnaire on what they enjoy listening to and what they do in their spare time, what they do as a job. As well as where they listen to the radio and if they listen to the radio.

If I had to compare my radio demo to a professional radio show, I would have to say that my radio demo has alot more long pauses and more ums and ahs where I was making stuff up as I went along. If I were to do anything to make my next show sound more professional I would script more of the show so that I don't have to improvise as much as i did in this radio demo. I would also burn all the music to a CD so that I could use CD players to queue up the music. The radio show would also sound more professional if I had put a music bed on under the news so it sounded more news like.
