Arts award
Yesterday (02.10.14) was week 2 but week 1 for my bronze
arts award.
I recorded majority of the evening and spent the night
editing and re-editing. (video in the next post)
I met another awesome and lively bunch- they’re hilarious.
My task was to, again pair up and research on the internet about
my partners’ arts hero/heroine.
After doing so, I had to come up with a few studio-like questions for an interview that was recorded and aired on the
radio channel- Reprezent. I had to put myself in my hero’s position (I chose Bruno
Mars) and had to answer the questions which were unknown to me as Bruno Mars in
the studio- just 5 minutes of pretend fame, if you like. Also I had to play the
role of the interviewer. Before any of the broadcasting and interviewing we had
to learn how to operate a studio and the software used at the Reprezent studio which is called Miriad.
I learnt various keywords like ‘queue’ ‘bed’ ‘jingle’ and ‘cart’ and had to put my knowledge of operating a studio to good use whilst interviewing my pretend 'celebrity' guest.

Not only did this experience teach me how to use faders and
the software, it also taught me how to project my voice and to speak confidently. Moreover,
I learnt various interviewing skills from both sides- the interviewer and the interviewee.
In addition, I learnt the etiquettes of being in a studio room, the dos and don'ts
(and most importantly the consequences ha-ha) for example: when the show is on live, there must be no noise at all this is because any sound detected can be picked up my the microphones and aired which is not what we want. This all contributes to my understanding of radio, therefore when I make my own newscasts I can apply some of these skills.
