Personal Statement
Over the last few years I have gained lots of experience in the media production industry, particularly audio production. This has included live music sessions, studio recordings, voice over sessions and producing audio for an online TV channel.
I have current knowledge of the media industry, in particular the music industry, which I am very passionate about, and I am keen to combine this with audio production skills in a broadcast environment.
I am keen to further my knowledge and develop skills in radio production. My main area of interest is music based although I am also interested in radio drama and documentary production.
I have a lot of experience in the media industry. This includes presenting and producing a few radio shows for the college station Chapel radio. This includes talk and music programming and radio dramas. I have also recorded a few bands with varying degrees of instruments e.g. synths, bass guitars, various drum setups, ETC. I also helped master these recordings for distribution by adding EQ, and various effects such as reverb and delay.
I have also administered recorded many voiceovers and recorded a few myself. I haven’t done much in the work of video production or editing.
I have done audio work for different theatre performances including mixing together songs and triggering sounds. I have also done live PA work including mixing a number of live microphones.
I have done sound engineering for a live web TV show, which includes bringing different audio sources in and out of the mix at precise times. It also includes making sure different queues are played when they need to be.

Chapel arts promo original plan
Some things changed from this original plan in the actual promo as some thigns didn't work or we came up with better ideas.Chapel arts centre promo plan
• start with an image of the Chapel logo which sits outside of the main building.
• We will then fade to an image of the glitter ball in the chapel.
• After that the camera will pan down to the stage where Alex will clap the clapper board and say ACTION!
• Next, there will be three or four clips of previous artists who have played in the chapel showing off the variety of acts we have such as acoustic, folk, Jazz and Rock (the last two being from the Art college)
• For the remainder of the promo there will be one consistant bed which as of yet has not been decided.
• Then we would go to the performance studio and show a shot of the empty studio to show how amazing it is
• This will be followed by various clips of all the many a things that have gone on there over the past few years such as the main event, the dance performance, harmoneyes and the political debate.
• Our next focus point will be the Art department. As well as showing some fancy shots of the art on display in the art room, we will also demonstrate the fact that we host exibitoins by recording footage of the upcoming art exhibition with shots of the art itself and the artist explaining one of his pieces to a costomer
• Next up will be a brief shot of kyle serving someone in the bar to show off the fact that we have a licenced bar in the building
• Finally, the voiceover will say the chapel arts slogan of music, theatre, art, radio, dance, television, the chapel. Wit each word would come an image. So for example, for music we could have an image of Head the thunder doing their thing, for radio we could have an image of one of our star presenters and/or technicians showing off their skills etc. then when “the chapel” is read out an image of the chapel logo will appear as the music fades out.

Radio 1 in hackney 2012 promo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sG9LmueQZI
The purpose of this promo is to inform people about the upcoming event.
It lets them know the sort of artists that are going to be there and what to expect from the weekend.
It is a music promo with lots of visual effects. It also has some sound effects, the main one being the crowd effect that can be heard throughout the promo.
It has one song throughout with a couple of different presenters from radio 1 naming some artists and some general info about the weekend including how many tickets there are, when it is, ETC. It uses certain language to hype the event itself by saying things like “It’s going to be radio 1’s biggest weekend ever.”
This promo was shown between programs on the BBC’s television channels, and would have been shown at prime time slots to get the most attention. I wouldn’t say the promo was particularly eye catching but it serves as a gentle reminder not to miss it.

Proposal for radio show My radio show will be aimed at people aged from about 15-30 with a range of old classics from the 00’s, and some brand new music. A range of genres from pop to UK grime, some hiphop, UK garage, dance, ETC. It would be half an hour to an hour long with a little bit of talking between the songs, but the show will be mostly about the music that I’m playing. I might introduce a bit of news just so it sounds like I actually have something to talk about other than just playing the songs. I will do some research on the songs; where they charted, how successful they were, and maybe some background info or an interesting fact about the artist. A feature I will have is called hidden gem where I will play an album track that I like and think the rest of the world needs to know about. I will need to plan this show; what songs I am going to play, what sort of things I am going to say (make a running order). I will need access to the radio studio for this to happen as it is easier to record the sample matterials live than to edit voiceovers and talking together. I will make sure I have all the songs I want to play in the show before hands so I’m not scrambling around during the show looking for songs I thought I had. I will record a couple of jingles to use during the show. For this I will need access to a studio and possibly someone to engineer the recording process
