My possible ideas.

One of the first of my ideas is a podcast on gaming reviews and all the news about new game releases on all platforms. Each episode will be ten minutes long and I will be exploring the news of all of the most popular games.
The second idea is that I will create a music podcast. This podcast will be thirty minutes long and will contain a remix of all of the songs from a certain time of the year.
The third idea that I had will be a radio show on film reviews. Each show will be 20 minutes long and will contain my own views on some of the most popular films that are out currently. I will also be reviewing films from other years.

Show Presenters/Hosts
# of Hosts: 1
Name/Descriptions of hosts:

Delivery style:
Is it going to be delivered is a very informal way, this is because the target audience is very young so being informal would allow me to be more open with the audience.
Resources required
                Computer with audition.
Two people: Andre

Equipment (Do you have your own setup, or do you need to use LukeRadio resources?):
Hire a Studio so that all of the equipment that we need is included in the cost.


                Location:
G2 Studios, Sheffield.

                Production time (recording and editing):
The production time will be around 2 hours,  1 hour will be spent gathering all of the media I need and the other hour will be spent editing of the audio.

·       Introduce the show with what year I will be doing today.
·       Take in calls from the audience.
·       Play the remixes
·       End the show with what to expect on the next show.


Examples of questions and issues to be raised for interviews:
This year has been a bad year for RnB music, what would you want to see next year.
Songs like Chris browns’ Loyal has been seen as offensive to women, do you think that the way people are portrayed in music videos needs to be considered.
Styles of music to be used:
It will mainly consist of RnB and hip-hop but it may stretch to pop music.

Will your program use advertising to make a profit?   g Yes 

Additional Details:

Legal and ethical:
One of main things that I need to consider is I’m I breaking any copyright laws. Since I am planning to have the external sources of audio that I would have gathered from the internet, I would find out whether it is free to use or not. Therefore I will need to contact the relevant people regarding audio. Another thing that I would have to consider is that is the content suitable for the audience, there are some songs that are explicit and that can offend certain people. To combat this I plan to have the radio show on after 9 pm as that is after the watershed. Having a radio show or podcast means that you have a certain level of responsibility for the public.

Studio hire: £30 per hour, £60 for 2 hours.
Production assistant: Minimum wage
PRS License: £43.50 per year

IP or the pitch.

The idea that I will be pitching is shared between me (Andre) and Ken. We came up with the topic of gaming then we developed on the idea on turning it into a gaming podcast which would consist of reviewing games and and talking about some of the events that have happened at some of the E-sports events. The one main thing that I have contributed to the pitch was about the reviewing the games section of the podcast, this will include mine and kens personal opinion of the game and how well the game has done within its first week of release. Ken came up with talking about E - sports section, this will include all of the main events and how e-sports become as big as it has today.

Treatment review.

One of the elements in my treatment that meets the merit criteria is the synopsis, this is because it is very detailed and it talks about every aspect of what the podcast will contain. 
One of the elements of the treatment that would need to be improved would be the target audience, this is because there is no inclusion of (ABC1's) to make it detailed.

Peer assessment

Clear audio.*

Level out the audio slightly. It spikes at some point and the peak is sometimes too high.

It has met the brief because it is at the minimum of a minute.

Continue the sting and turn it into a bed track. 


I will editing the audio so that there is not odd spikes throughout the audio.

2 main ideas.

One of the ideas that i want to develop is the podcast in gaming, this is because gaming is a topic that interest me. It is also a topic that is well known across the world. Since I am interested in the topic i should be able to complete the task at a high standard.
The other idea that I want to develop is to create a remix of all of the media that has been released in a year, this includes taking audio from TV shows like easterners or family guy, this would then be combined with the music of that year.
