What I have done today

Today we listened to a variety of 5 radio shows, (The now show, Terry Pratchett's Eric, Ramblings, The Ricky Gervais Show and The Maha Kumbh Mela) from comedy to monotone recordings of people on walks and wrote about what made them appeal to certain audiences, what sound effects, who the audiences were, the introductions, the genres, how they ended and what made them different from one another.

Good and bad presentations

The bad is below the good is above

A bad presentation stereotypically has too much writing all on one slide, usually has no point or relevance to the presentation and doesn't add anything, it will also have hard to read text either in a weird font or it would be too small to read and the slide transistions would be too over the top and distracting or there would not be enough text and too many pictures which draw the eye away from the infomation being presented (if any if it's that bad). Or the person presenting it would not be fluent when speaking and stammer, or read plainly off their powerpoint. So for a good presentation you need a good balance between text and images, if presenting infomation do it in small yet informative bullet points and be careful not to clutter the page, organise it competently to give the best effect. Use softer or not completely distracting so your audience stays focused. Another good thing to do is to learn your presntation and rehearse it so you seem professional and clear, don't talk for too long either, that's a sure fire way for your audience to lose interest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Broadcast & Non - Broadcast

Poem evaluation remastered remastered

My poem and sounds didn't go quite to plan as I couldn't retrieve or re-create the sounds I wanted to have orignally, but I made do with the resources I had and made something that could subsitute what I had planned. I tried to make the sounds relate to the words and interpreted them in my own way, but it didn't go to plan as it was very hard to find that perfect sound.. I made it in adobe premier elements, I faded, over lapped, cut and removed sounds to create a barely adeqate post. I think most of the sounds worked apart from the singing, so overall I'm not impressed with the result. I should have also had somerone read it clearer and a little slower so the sounds would have had a better chance of adding ambience to it. In conclusion I feel that again, I lacked the effort and drive to create something worth while, I should have spent more time on the sounds to get the perfection I was striving for. It would never be radio standard because the sound quality is poor and the sounds don't fit, it is not professional and I should have worked harder on it.
