4th December Show

This show was another one where we were mainly in control as Fred was presenting and producing the show this time by using the desk, faders, hot keys and idents etc. The idents that i had created were played during this show and they fit it quite well because they don't attract attention away from the speaker. We had a slight problem in this show because the interviewee that we had arranged didn't show up so we had to find a way to deal with it quickly by bringing in Reno and having a conversation with him about x-factor which lasted for the length of the interview slot so turned out fine and we were still on schedule. We also decided to add in a new feature called 'The Friday Feature' which we will now use as our ending segment. In this we have a bit of banter between us all, over what we we're planning on doing on the weekend, and it will be lead by someone each week meaning that they will be introducing it and then asking everyone else the questions and be the core person for that section. Despite the small problem with the interview this show was a good success.

2nd December

Today we imported my idents onto the computer so that they can be used in Fridays show, we also loaded it into an adobe programme **Find out which one ** so that we could make the volume of it a bit louder otherwise it won't be heard at all under the speaking.
Today we also went through some information on interviewing which explained what styles of interview there are and what types of questions you can use etc. It was quite helpful because for the next time we need to plan an interview we now know what type of questions will have certain effects on the interviewee. For example we will be using alot of open questions because this makes the interviewee talk about how they feel on a subject and it means they can't just say a yes or no answer, which is good because then it's not the interviewer doing all the talking as that would be quite boring for people to listen to. There was also some information on an interview structure which included things about building rapport, which you need to do as an interviewer to make the interviewee feel comfortable therefore willing to answer you questions better.
