Evaluation

At the beginging of our assignemnt we got put in large groups of 10 as a group we decided that the best thing to split up into smaller groups of five because we had two radio shows to make and that would be the best thing to do. At the time i thought this was a really good idea and i thought it would work out well between the 10 of us. My group that i was in were olivia, Jack, Weeze and ella. I have worked closely with all of these people before so i thought that i wouldnt have a problem. We came up with some great ideas and we decided that we would call our show Afternoon Delight. We got all our audience reasearch together and worked out what music we should play and what sort of topics we should talk about. If i was to do something similar in the future i would take more attention to detail when it comes to audiences and what they like. This is because the Audience are the listeners and without them you haven't got a
radio show. The run up to the show was a bumpy one because i didnt feel that we gelled as a group. Although we are all very good friends outside of college, we had lack of communication when it came to the assignment. A few of the group didnt spend alot of there time on the assignment and they didnt care about what was happining when it came to the actual radio show. They were prepare to sit back and watch the rest of the group. I dont take loads of credit for how well our radio show came out, but i do belive i took part and gave my oppinion when it was needed. I did do some of the written work and was co-presenter of the main show. I will admit that Ella and Weeze did really well on the show, and worked very hard. Although our hearts wernt in it as much as other assingmnets they did try very hard to  make the final product well. We chose ella to be main presenter because she has a good tone to her voice and we belived that she would do the best job because her personality comes through when she talks. I was Co-presenter, i was pleased at with that job  role because i still got to be on the mike but i was not in charge if anything went wrong. Although i usually like taking a back seat when it comes to my job roles i have realised that i want to start doing bigger jobs and putting more responsibilty on myself, i wont learn unless i do things wrong so i will be looking to do bigger
job roles in the future. Weeze got put on the other mic, and we decided that we didnt want more than 3 presenters because we didnt want the show to sound overcrouded or unprofessional with loads of people talking at the same time. On the actual show we ended up with more than one person on the mic and i dont think this sounded as good. Also we had Weeze doing technical side of myriad and i think she needed more practice at it because in rehersals we had Ella doing it all. All in all i think we did well as a group and they would be the things i would change.
