Evaluation of Jingles Part 3 - News Jingle and Conclusion

After finishing the Ident I quickly made a start on my News jingle, for this one I wanted to create an exciting but also ideal way of letting the audience know it was the part of the show for the news. This jingle was also very brief and short so I tried to fit in quite a bit of content using music, sound effects and voices in a small amount of time to make it all exciting and appealing to the audience and also to give the news a powerful statement. After I finished the jingle I still had plenty of time to use so I made a few changes to polish it up and I felt the finial outcome was a success and very suitable of a News jingle. Overall I felt all of my jingles turned out well and I very much enjoyed making the radio productions and using the Sound Booth programme.

Evaluation of Jingles Part 2 - Station Ident

The second jingle I made was my station Ident which didn’t take as long as it was only 15 seconds long, for this one I just wanted to advertise the radio station by saying the name, SNC live. I used one song for the entire length of the jingle as well as a mix of different voices all advertising SNC live, I made sure every voice was loud and clear enough and all similar to make the jingle run smoothly. This jingle took me a morning to make as it wasn’t as long as the promo so I had time to fit it in aswell as the News jingle, which was also quite short, in one day. I was pleased with this jingle as it does what I wanted it to do which was to just advertise the name of the radio show in a upbeat and exciting way.

Evaluation of Jingles Part 1 - Opening and Show Promo

All week I’ve been using a programme called Sound booth on the Mac computers making three different radio jingles, for the college radio station SNC live. I made one for the radio Indent, News and Promo and all three were less than one minute long. The first jingle I made was the promo which is by far the longest at 45 seconds, when I first started making this jingle I was still new to the programme so I was learning new things as I went along. However, I picked it up very quickly as it’s a relatively straight forward programme to use and had very few problems, the promo took me the majority of Tuesday to complete but it was worth it as once I was finished I was left with a successful jingle that I was pleased with. In the jingle, all of the music used was my own that I had brought in on my memory stick, I used three songs that I mixed together including one which was ideal for the beginning as it’s a morning show so it instantly gives the jingle that morning feel. I did the voiceover myself for the jingle giving a brief idea what the radio show is about and important information that people would need to know including when the show is on.
