Alice-Anne Bull was designated producer for the radio show, and as a group, we decided that we would do a full feature show spanning two hours that would include all of our postcode documentaries, with Christmas music played between.
Once Alice had selected the music, I produced a rough running-order based around everyone's expectations of their project's duration, the tracks selected and the presenter's desired talk time.
Obviously, nothing ever goes to plan. By the week of the show, the documentaries had all changed in length and some of the tracklist had changed to better suit our target audience (which was never fully discussed but vaguely steered in the direction of 16-21 year old college students.)
Amended Running Order
Amended Running Order
The original role designations were:
Alice-Anne Bull; Producer
Owen Hayward; Engineer
Carly Wilson & Samuel James; Presenters
Jamie Mumford; Publicity, Engineer's Assistant.
Much like the original running order, this too was subject to change, albeit on the day of the show itself when Samuel James was taken ill and unable to attend. The final roles were:
Alice-Anne Bull; Producer
Jamie Mumford; Engineer
Carly Wilson & Owen Hayward; Presenters
Script - (Due to time constraints, Sam's name on the script was not changed to mine. It should also be noted that we had asked a HND student, Luke, to fill in. He had initially accepted, but due to the planned duration of the show and pressures from his own projects, had to later decline.)
Carly produced the script, which was subject to several 'ad-hoc' and last second alterations and additions.
Mercifully, there were no further setbacks during the broadcast. Samuel produced a separate 30-minute show two weeks later, to which I engineered.
