Radio Jingles

During our first week we learnt how to compose radio jingles. Our task was to design three jingles for our 'SNC Live' radio station, these jingles has to be in the style of:
A Show Promo: A show promo should be an amusing way of premoting the radio station, using effects, music and voice overs.

A station Ident: this is alot shorter icluding only the information needed, for example the station name and frequency.

A news jingle: a news jingle should inform the listeners as to what they can be expecting coming up on the show.

The music software we used to create out jingles was called 'Soundbooth'. This ran over three days, day one we spend on prep work which included listening and reading up on already exsistant jingles such as Radio 1, to get a sence of different radio styles and genres.
Over the next two days we started and finished recording our jingles. Each jingle was different and although all of mine consisted of edited clips of songs and voice overs, using the software we were able to edit them to our own individual way.I chose to do a straight forward genre which was for a wide range of audiences.
