Eight Shot Journey
Evaluation of My Radio Jingles
This past week I have been producing jingles for a radio show. I made a promo, station Ident and a news jingle, the promo can be up to a minute long station Ident had to be 8-10 seconds long, and the news could be 15-30 seconds long. I used the programme sound booth which is on the Mac’s.
First I made the promo which took me a day as it was my first time using the programme and I was getting use to it. first I chose to base it on a morning show as I had songs in my head already that I could use and effects that I believe would work well. I used 4 songs which was kanye West – Good morning, John legend-Good Morning, Pink Floyd-Time and 50 Cent-Disco Inferno, but cut them down so I hand 10 seconds of each then added sound effects to merge the tracks together. Then record my voice and others on the Mac, then placed it over the instrumental. I was very happy how it turned out as it sounded really good and other people said it went well with the effects such as fading, I put in and the voices I used, I don’t believe I could have made it any better, it lasted 46 seconds.
Next I made my station Ident, this only took me half a day as I was use to using the programme I made this 15 seconds short and catchy, as this was used to advertise my show. I used 1 track and a couple effects and Loads of voices to get the name herd loud and clear and so it would be remembered. Again I felt this turned out really good as it went well and is very catchy. I believe it was the right amount of time as it was long enough to remember but not too long you got board with it.
The last one I made was the news jingle; this was the most fun to make as I made it more fun. I put many voices in it, different sounds, this was more of an experiment seeing what happens when I fiddle with the tempo, effects, volume levels and fading.
I was still very happy how it turned out. The only thing I was not happy with was the time it lasted, it lasted for 26 seconds which I believe was just a little too long and maybe a bit repetitive.
Overall I was very happy how they turned out and really enjoyed this project; I found the programme Sound Booth really easy to use and quickly new the ins and out of the programme.

First Attempt At Pin Hole

This was my first attempt. This is a picture of the front of the college, as you can tell it didnt turn out as well as i hoped, but it still has some intresting shapes and lines, but nothing you could make sense of. I thourght the exsposure was too long so i changed my exposure time from 20 seconds to 10.
PIN HOLE CAMERA
We was given a task to make a pin hole camera out of a box or a tin. It had to be light proof, blacked out on the inside (so no light would bounce around), Photo paper on the inside to capture the picture.A pin hole camera contains an lens, Apertrue and a shutter.
