A2 Evaluation

Making my radio ad and use of software.

To create my radio advertisement I used Audacity v.1.2.4



This involved layering tracks to make my advert. I selected a section of a music track that I wanted to use and I also used a mircophone to record my voice reading the script I had devised for my ad.



Planning for task.

Throughout the duration of the task I have been comparing my work to national and local newspapers. I have compared and looked at various exmaples of posters and radio adverts in order to help me with this task.
Listening to local radio shows and the types of adverts that they broadcast helped me to think about what I would need to incorperate ideas into my work.
This was very useful when writing out the script for my promotional radio advert, I decided that I would need a short, simple and a advert that grabs the listeners attention.
I have also decided to incorperate a serperate audio track behind the speech in my advert.

For my poster, I made 2 different designs which I showed to peers in my group and they decided upon what would be more eye catching and appealing, yet also fitting in with the special edition theme of my newspaper. I chose to focus on typical colours associated with Valentines Days such as; red, pink and using images such as hearts and flowers.

Making a Radio Ad

In addition to making my promotional poster for my coursework to go with my newspaper, I am also making a promotional radio advertisement. I started to make this by first of all researching and thinking about advertisements for newspapers that I had already heard, I then thought about what would be best to include in my advertisement and what would sound catchy yet simple enough for a local radio station to use.
I then wrote a short script of what I would say in my advertisement. After practicing this and making sure it lasted between ten and fifteen seconds I recorded it. To record it I used a microphone which I spoke clearly into. I decided however, that it would be effective if I used an audio track in the background of my advert.
When I combined these two together making sure the audio levels were right, I had my finished radio advert.

Using the software

This was the process I used when making my newspaper:

Newspaper.



This is the finished newspaper I have created, I need to alter some things at a later date, such as adding more text.
