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.
