Monday June 1st: End Game, Part One

Greetings, Traffik Dodgerz!

As of this moment, we have only two full weeks before the onset of the exam week, which is scheduled to begin June 18th. Because of the nature of our class, and due to the fact that I never like waiting to the last minute anyway,we are going to commence work on your final projects, beginning right now. Before I begin, let me give you a very simple outline of what we will be accomplishing over the next two weeks:

A) An individual broadcast: each of you weill be expected to make an individual broadcast; details to follow soon

B) A final farewell team broadcast: each team will make a final broadcast based upon a topic of their choosing; further details of this to follow soon

C) research topic: each of you will need to research a particular topic pertinent to Radio Production. Details to follow,but please understand that your topic will be broadcast -based as well as print based

D) "year in review": details to follow

In any event, let's get down to what you will be doing today. Each of you will be working on an individual broadcast, so let's work on some of the components for that:

1) theme song: each of you will need to create a new theme song,not less than thirty seconds long and not more than one minute. Please work on a rough draft of one, and send it to me via email, with your name and "my theme song" in the subject line

2) bumper music: each individual broadcast will need some bumper music, so each of you will need to create at least five loops, each not less than 20 seconds and not more than 45 seconds long. Please attach all five and send in an email to me, with your name and the phrase "my bumper music" in the subject line. In the body of the email, please list each full song that you used, including the name of the song,name of the group or artist, year of release and any other details you may believe are pertinent

3) special effects sounds: your individual broadcasts will also require sfx sounds, so you will need to package at least ten that you will choose from later on. Each sfx file should be between 5 to 15 seconds long.Please attach them and send by email, with your name and the phrase "10 sfx sounds" in the subject line

OK, that oughtta do it. Let's get going!

Cheers,Mr. L
