A)

This screenshot shows that the radio show finishes at the designated 10 minutes mark, with out gaining or loosing a second. It means that the radio show followed the running order accurately, as seen below. Though one or two elements of the show may have gone just over or under, by a second. I levelled the volume so that there was a constant volume throughout the show, including guest and presenter sections.

we used a radio mic and a TASCAM mic to record all material. we ran into a problem after the first recording as all material was in the mono format, rather than stereo. Because of this, we re-recorded all material apart from the guest interview, since that had been in stereo. I had to plug in earphones when recording to make sure it was at the correct sound level and that the presenters could be heard, though the vox pops will be louder so the speakers can be heard over excessive background noise.

All material went onto Adobe Audition for post production, allowing us to easily work on the computer. The timeline was constantly compared against the running order, to make sure the timing was accurate, with such a small leeway. we made sure the guest was contacted prior to the interview, making sure they were prepared and actually willing to talk to us. To make the process of editing easier, I separated the presenters and music onto individual levels.

This is the final running order, beside the complete timeline. It was shared within the group, so other radio shows should ultimately meet the same length. If the show was continued, there would have been a section for tweets and social media (that section was originally in the running order, yet it had to be cut, to meet the 10 minutes exactly).

BBC GUIDELINES:

Door-stepping
Whilst obtaining vox pops, the BBC guidelines of door stepping were applicable, since we were taking opinions from public without prior arrangements. if the interviewee was confrontational, there could have been a large safety risk to the crew and those present. To avoid things going wrong - physical attacks, injury from weapons, animals, vehicles , getting corned with no escape or verbal threats or abuse, the crew should be following editorial guidelines and all ideas of door stepping should be sanctioned by a senior member (teacher). Whilst collecting vox pops, we made sure to keep a low profile so we weren't disrupting many people and made sure all crew present were responsible for any equipment and that they knew the questions that needed to be asked. As the producer, I made sure that the journalism assistant was planning on obtaining the vox pops in a safe location where are target audience would be located/sighted. 

Producer Job Role:

My role in the group was the producer. This role meant I was responsible for watching over the others in the group and making sure all members were organised and knew what work needed to be done. I tried to work alongside all members of the group so I could get feedback that would help the overall show, hopefully improving everyone's work and performance. In post production, I helped supply the members with the correct material for the complete radio show. I also sorted the problem of the radio show running to the running order, ultimately changing the whole running order to make sure it was correct and achievable for the other members in the group. I gained help from assistant producers throughout so I wasn't in charge of every single aspect.
