FINAL PRODUCT - EASTER EGG

My easter egg leads to the political compass website . This allows audience members to find out their political alliance, as the show is a political comedy show

PLANNING - WEBSITE PROFILES

When researching what I would like to do on my linked page, I looked at the Radio 1 Breakfast show . They have a profile page for the host Greg James, and this makes the show more personal as they know the host more.

Therefore, I am trying to incorporate this.

PLANNING - INSTAGRAM PAGE

When looking at what to post on the show's social media, a key feature to ensure audience interaction, I looked at Capital FM's instagram, and really like the use of celebrities, and colour.

I incorporated this by doing a similar 'wrapping paper font' for future guest 'Millie Bright', and using the faces of Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson in jokey posts.

PRODUCTION - OLD WEBSITE BANNERS

My old banners, were in accordance with my old cover art colours, and this didn't now have any connection to my radio show product, so this had to be changed

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK- OLD LOGO/COVER ART

My focus group concluded on the whole, that although they liked the font and incorporation of the presenter cartoons, they didn't like the colour scheme as they felt it was too 'lairy' and formatted oddly.

To adhere to this audience feedback, I used the font on my website in main bodies of text, and used the cartoon avatars on my new cover art

PRODUCTION - AUDIO VISUAL

I tried different formats of audio visual before settling on a trailer. I tried to do a quiz with the celebrity guest in the cartoon format, before deciding it wasn't as effective and didn'twork well, here is a short clip.

Video Editing in response to Audience Feedback

I added some special effects of famous politicians getting 'cancelled' by a big stop sign, with fast-paced editing, as my focus group had commented that y original audience feedback, although in accordance to Radio 4's normal trailers, was one-note. 

I also added in some music, as this adhered and appealed more to a 16-25 fun-loving audience. The screenshot below showing this process.

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK: FONT

To ensure that my cover art and website was still adhering to my target audience, and the generic conventions of a comedy radio show, I asked my focus group and other people whom are in the 16-25 fun-loving category, what font they liked best. I selected the font they like the most, as I also agreed that number 3 was the best

'Beyond Today', is BBC Radio 4's flagship news programme, adapted into a new podcast in a bid to attract a younger audience.

The Today programme, which has lost more than a million listeners in a year, published its spinoff show Beyond Today.

The podcast, aimed at a younger audience, is the work of a team of mostly women in their twenties.

Person 2: And I am Benjamin Hurst, the other prime banter supplier, and just a tad bit confused by politics

Person 1: Ahh don’t fret my pal, I’ve got us all covered, *bbc news sound* *Tweeting News sound effect*

The entire community Men are allegedly, quote unquote so tired, of hearing women say that all men are trash, and women’s response *How do you think we feel?*

Twitter user, fairycakes, detailed a thread of tweets, explaining the most outrageous experiences of working in the ancient store HMV. One of my favourite stories being, an old man,an o.a.p if you will, coming in every week and fainting in the adult movie section, of course, hoping to recieve mouth-to-mouth off of one of the female employees

HR are on to you my friend

And finally for the last story of Tweeting News,

A viral tweet going round this week, has stated that a serving of chips or *coughs* french fries (in strained voice*, is only 7 chips *gasp sound effect* I know, I know

Person 2: We are joined in the studio this week, by someone who inspires us all, and inspires old men like Piers Morgan, to gouge his eyes out, It’s honesty everybody!

*grasshopper sound effect*

Person 1: Sorry my bad, my finger slipped. It’s only our first episode guys, BBC haven’t quite given us the budget for a live studio audience just yet

*audience applause sound effect* Ah, that’s more like it

Person 3: Hiya, excited to be here. And in reference to the Piers Morgan thing, he only said that once when I triggered him over the vegan sausage roll on twitter, or maybe he’s just hating on the fact I’m a lesbian.

Person 1 and Person 2 laugh

Person 2: Right, let’s move on to the actual real news of the week and make fun of it shall we?

Person 3: We shall?

Person 1: Right answer!

Person 2: The idea is simple, we as an ensemble, consisting of your fave two presenters

Person 2: And our most treasured celebrity guest

Person 3: Ahhh, i feel special!

Person 2: will Discuss 4 impactful,

Person 1: scandalous

Person 1: So our first #notquiteaheadline of the week is, drum roll pls

*everyone make drumroll sound*

Person 2: Nigel Farage,*awkawrd cough* ,not always a crowd favourite, attacks, yes attacks, the royal family

Person 3: Gasp. Now this, this, is something I really wouldn’t expect from such a prestigious politician, are-are you sure you got that right?

Person 1: What on earth did he say?

Person 2: He called Meghan Markle ‘irrelevant’

Person 3: I mean, I should have guessed that, markle is the only way this man can force out his racist thoughts, without being called a racist, as every middle-class white man, seems to hates her, don’t know why tho

Person 1: because she’s black (whispered)

Person 2: And furthermore, called the Queen’s mumsy, ‘overweight’

Person 1: You’re kidding

Person 3: I mean come on! I know we are meant to be boycotting the monarchy but coming for a woman’s weight is a bit below the belt *ba dum tsst*

Person 1: Lord Sugar and Piers Morgan called, they want their fat shaming twitter fights copyrighted. *grasshopper sound effect* Nope, no takers

Person 2: Moving on…

Person 1: Also in this weeks news Donald Trump has had to confirm his love for his eldest daughter Tiffany

GENERIC RESEARCH & AUDIENCE FEEDBACK- Friday Night Comedy- Dead Ringers 14 June 2019

When writing my script, I wanted to make sure that it had some reference to pre-existing Radio 4 comedy shows. 'Dead Ringers', is one of Radio 4's most popular political comedy show. However, it follows the traditional standup comedy scriping, which my focus group said they didn't prefer as much.

PLANNING- Have I Got News For You Inspiration

• Have I Got News for You, is a game show on BBC 1, where celebrity contestants find themselves in the hot seat as they are quizzed on the latest news. 
• I wanted to incorporate this style of comic commentary into my radio show, as it fits the brief, in terms of a comedy show, but also incorporates a similar house-style of Radio 4's interest in politics
•  Here, the celebrities and stand-up comedians, create an analogy for Brexit, whilst mocking Nigel Farage
• This is a style I am hoping to incorporate into my show
