LO5 Review and Improve (Possible Future Developments)

Did you meet the brief requirements?
We met the brief requirements by making sure we created and produced an original and unique podcast/ radio-show to bring to the local community which we did.

Did you change anything about your product?
We haven't changed anything to our or about our product.

What worked well?
The research for the AMP as Stephen watches anime frequently and this allows to comment on it and it gave us a lot of content to talk about.

What needs improvement?
How we planned to reach the target audience and planning out the structure of the AMP.

How did you team work together?
We worked well together as we both contributed to the production and presentation?(pitch) to the Audio media product.

The future developments that could be made to this audio media product are;

One of the improvements that could be made to my audio media product is that instead of just uploading the podcast for the standard 30 days it could stay uploaded and available for streaming and downloading for good. The second improvement that could be made to my audio media product is to read the audiences opinions/criticism and take them in, as this would help you to improve the show, another improvement that could be made to my audio media product would be to in fact not script all the show but instead prepare as this allows for the speech to appear and feel more fluent.

LO5 Reflection on the Feedback we Received off Sheffield Live (Feedforward Sheet)

Feedback from Sheffield Live

Reflection

Strengths Based Upon Feedback;
The strengths of our pitch based upon the feedback we received from Sheffield Live was that we provided all the information that was needed of us to give an effective pitch. I.e we provided all the information that was required of us so that Sheffield Live understand what our audio media product is going to be like.

Weaknesses Based Upon Feedback;
Based upon the feedback we received from Sheffield Live the improvements that needed to be made to our pitch was to fully understand and know everything you need to for your audio media product and do to so with confidence (Be confident in what you are saying).

LO5 Feedforward Sheet

This is my feed-forward sheet;
A feed-forward sheet is a form which helps you to reflect upon feedback that you have received by making you address several questions which relates to your previous tasks.

In this feed-forward sheet I have done just that, I have reflected upon my feedback that I received to address and answer the questions asked.

LO4/5 Revised Treatment with Information of the Groups Contributions (I.e. me)

Original Treatment

Revised Treatment (Improved/Developed)

As you can see below the improvements made to the newer treatment are varied. The most notable of which is the way in which the treatment is now presented i.e. the form is presented a lot more cleanly which makes it easier to read and understand, for example the headings and subheadings are clear and easily visible. The second most notable change is that of the amount of writing/content within the form i.e. the form is presented in a more professional manner, for example it uses full sentences rather than one word answers. Another notable change to the treatment is that is goes into a lot more depth when required, for example in the section about the hosts and presenters we have clearly stated why we think that Stephen and me (Joseph) would be good hosts and why we believe that. The fourth and last most notable change to the treatment was the addition of the future development ideas, i.e. where I talked about the possible increase in time in which the audio media product stayed up for.

However there are several other alterations to the treatment that are less noticeable such as the way in which the production method of the audio media product is presented and the way in which the question ‘Will your program use advertising to make a profit’ is presented/answered. Another way in which the treatment was altered was the target audience for example I went into more depth about who our audience will be, much like I stated in the previous paragraph. Much like the same as before another alteration was that of the addition of possible questions to be raised for interviews and the typical music that is to be heard in this podcast. Another alteration that was made to the radio treatment ‘Anime Half-Hour’ was within the financial section of the treatment as we went back and looked at the cost of everything and checked the maths and found mistakes with the pricing of the PRS licence so we went back to alter the mistake and change the annual income of the audio media product.

LO4/5 Revised Production Plan with Information of the Groups Contributions

Original Production Plan

Revised Production Plan (Improved/Developed)

As you can see below the improvements that have be made to the production plan are varied. The most notable of which is the amount of detail that the production schedule now contains, for example
the improved production schedule now contains all the correct dates for the deadlines and the dates in which the activities was completed, another improvement is the general manner in which the form is now presented (professionally) this is done through the use of fulls sentences rather than one-three word answers.

LO3 Questionnaire Feedback

Questionnaire Feedback;

What we Took Away From the Feedback;
What we learned from the questionnaire feedback was that our strengths was that our idea was clear and easily understood and that our weaknesses was that we needed more information on the Ofcom guidelines and that on some sections we dragged it on for too long.

LO3/4 Received Feedback from Tutor Based Upon the Unit in General

Received Feedback Based Upon the Unit in General

A group or revised treatment document with annotation to show group contribution.	This is present but it is unclear.
A pitch document/presentation/handout with evidence of creation and contributions by group.	Again this is present. Annotate and demonstrate how you developed the idea from the treatment into the final pitched product
Blog post reflecting on your experience of the pitch.	Present
Evidence of feedback	Present – but you need to feed forward on this to show you acted on this before re-developing the treatment
Revised treatment and production plan.	This again is present in the Sheffield Live! Format but does not go into enough detail to meet requirement. E.g. music played should cover specific bands, albums and whether or not royalty costs would be incurred and what they were.
Blog post reflecting on the process and the future developments you would make with your AMP.	Not present at all.

Joe,

The blog itself needs organising with all the pieces in the right section.  The pieces above reflect the missing parts of Lo3 and Lo4. If you look at the example blog I sent on Monday this will help you lay out the blog in the right way
