R1BS Practical
Evaluation:
1) The task that we was assinged was to create a 3 minute clip of a Radio 1 Breakfast Show audition where would over run Greg James' position. We had to cover various topics whithin this 3 minute clip: 30 seconds of News, An interivew with a celebrity, Music, A game that we have to make up, and social media.
2) My group are George (News), Sam and Maisie (Interview), Brooke (Game) and myself (Host)
3) The fresh idea that we came up with was our game where an audience member would willingly ring up and tell us a secret confession they had kept for however long.
4) We did an interview (Maisie being the interviewer) who interviewed Sam who acted as Danny Dyer where questions about Danny's relation to Richard 3rd were asked and other questions on topics that had recently been in the news.
5) We chose Mabel - Dont call me up, Sam Smith - Dancing with a stranger and Post Malone - Wow. We chose these songs as they are either British, popular artists or upcoming artists with talent. we chose this because this is what the R1BS repreents and wants to recognise.
6) The running that we decided was Mabel, Sam Smith, Gameshow, Interview, Post Malone, News. We chose this running order as it fit all aspects of the radio show into the 3 minutes and set a stable structure for the audience to follow.
7) We attract the audience via inviting them on our show to be part of our various gameshows and quizzes, where they can win prizes and be included within the breakfast show
8) Our product fits into the remit because it entertainments and educates all memeber of the audience.
9) As an improvement, we could've maybe had an additional quiz within the 3 minutes to furthur engage our audience, but with our given time, we wouldn't have time to do this.
10) Our initial feedback was that I was too monotone, news was a little too quick and I said the time at the end wrong.
Radio 1 Breakfast Show - Essay
How is the BBC Radio 1 BS reaching, targeting, and encouraging audience interactions?
- Who is audience (age, class, gender)
- How radio keeps audience
- How audience gets pleasure from radio
The Radio breakfast show helps to entice the audience through various contraptions such as competitions and games that potentially done correctly leads to significant rewards. The target audience is incorporated alongside with the music choice and genre as the audience that listens enjoy the music and tunes back into the vast playlist or remixes. They manage to get the audience to return is due to the originality of the show. Radio 1 reaches to their audience by throwing huge events such as their Big Weekend music festival. The big weekend is a music festival run by BBC Radio 1 that is held annually throughout different UK venues. Whilst it used to be the biggest free ticketed event in the UK, it now charges a fee of £15 but is still a huge event where thousands of people still attend. This hit music festival is one of many reasons why the audience of the Breakfast Show is keeping, even though the show’s rough times.
Another reason of why the Breakfast Show’s audience is always being reached out to is because of the show’s social media and how often Greg James and his production team and on social media, interacting with their audience. They have an Instagram, snapchat, twitter and facebook page where they connect with their audience via giveaways, game shows, and links to the show. From here, the audience can react and interact with Greg James and other members of the audience via answering game show questions, taking part in the show’s wacky games and then replying and commenting in audiences comments and posts.
When radio 1 brought Nick Grimshaw, Grimmy. he was largely expected to boost the rating because of his celebrity status and young people connection. But, when he joined the breakfast show, these rating suffered heavily and instantly fell. Funnily enough, as soon as he resigned from the Breakfast Show and Greg James stepped in, these rating shot back up after the loss of 9.37 million listeners per week from Grimmy's entrance. Greg James was able to obtain an extra 231,000 listeners in October to December of 2018, averaging a total of 5.11 million listeners per week which the audience being aged between 15+.
With the arrival of Greg James, the audience has been more involved than ever. This is because of the various games and competitions that James hosts. These include many fun games such as 'Pass the Pasty', 'Unpopular Opinion' and 'Jan Slam' where all games consist of the audience participating in various challenges and fun in order to win various prizes that Greg James hosts. James also hosts many quizzes per day where the audience can submit their answers via the show's social media or by ringing into Greg James himself. The show also provides educational news to their audience each half hour with a separate news reporter for the audience to engage and have an interest in.

Jungle Book Interview
The task that we were assigned with was to produce a 2-3 minute interview with the marketing manager and producer of the new Jungle Book. The producer talks about the exciting combination of actors and effects whilst the marketing manager can discuss all the ways they intend to promote the film.
We used Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 to edit and adjust the interview to mix the orignal ootage of the characters with the poster that replaces the green screen.
We used the tool 'Ultra Key' to replace the green screen with the posters that we decided to use.
Our biggest obstacle was costume clashing with George's clothing where the green screen would mix with his white t-shirt. We decided to re-film because of this factor and an additional factor that Sam wasn't available for the first shoot.
We completed our task on Monday, 3 days after it was set.
This will help our Jungle Book revision as it covers all ways that the film was produced and marketed.
We could've checked lighting as in the footage and final cut, there is a bright white light in the top left corner which the green screen doesn't get rid of.
"we really liked the inserts. Kieran needs to be interested and Sam needs to be interested in Kieran"
WWW - the inserts and editing style of the film. George was very intrigued.
