Radio Task
Your task is to listen to 15 minutes of 2 radio stations
and analyse the sound techniques used. You may choose from:
|
·
Your chosen stations: The Rock Show with Daniel
P Carter on BBC Radio 1
5 Live Breakfast on BBC 5Live
1. What
time is each show broadcast?
Sunday 19.00 and Thursday
9.00
2. Describe
and compare each ident for the
programmes. What instruments are used? How are vocals used? What feeling is
conveyed to the audience?
For the Rock Show with Daniel P Carter the ident is very
sudden and extreme. It’s basically some guy screaming the radio station into
your ears. Lots of guitars are used and drums.
For the 5 Live Breakfast it’s just some guy saying what you
are listening to. It’s very electronic so there really aren’t any instruments.
3. Who
are the hosts of the radio show? How do they address the listeners (chatty,
friendly, serious)?
For the Rock Show its Daniel P Carter. He seems like a
laid back radio presenter so he does not really say much, but he seems like he
cares about what he is doing.
For the 5 Live Breakfast the presenters are Nicky Campbell
and Racheal Burden. These radio presenters are very serious, but chatty. It’s not
really something you would listen to if you want music
4. How
do the hosts try to engage the audience (encouraging Twitter use, requests)?
They use twitter and they also get people to phone in to
speak about something
5. Do
you feel that there is an aim of each radio show (e.g. Getting people in the
mood for a club)?
I didn’t feel any aim with these stations because they
just seem straight to the point. For example the rock show host would play some
music and then he would real a tweet and say something about it and then play
the next song.
The breakfast show doesn’t really make you feel any
better because they talk about what’s happening in the news which really isn’t the
kind of thing you want to be listening
6. How
is this achieved?
