LO5 - Contingency Plans

Our Contingency plans for if Dylan Eggbeat doesn't work out , due to people being ill.
 or Sheffield Live not liking our idea. Would be to go with my original idea which was the weather Podcast as this would serve a purpose to the local community even though it wouldn't be as creative to do. This idea is more achievable and less complex than Dylan Eggbeat, but I don't think it would draw in such an audience the size of Dylan Eggbeat which is why we are sticking with Dylan Eggbeat.

LO5 - Financial Breakdown and Budgeting

The Equipment we will be needing is a microphone that will cost £50.00, the microphone is a vital piece of equipment to record a high quality sounding audio media podcast. The headphones will cost £20.00 which we need to be able to hear the podcast during the editing product. The mixing desk for a show like this is very important, as there will be lots of sound effects used and background music. The mixer will be to adjust the volume for each effect we want to use, this will cost around £235.00. And finally we will need a PRS License which will cost £100.00 which is vital for a radio show like Dylan Eggbeat as we will be playing lots of different music on the show. Or we could use a recording studio which would cost £80.00 for a session, but the issue with this would be the fact we would have to record the shows in bulk. Therefor leaving a lot of editing left over, this isn't ideal due to the fact we could get tired and worn out, after spending many hours in the studio. The pilot would be ideally done in a studio, then if it is liked we would be funded to get proper equipment. This will be cheaper in the long run.

LO5 - Legal and Ethical and Copyright

Legal and ethical issues

Dylan Eggbeat is a pretty tame show so there should be no controversy and it will be shown before the watershed as it isn't any real issue. Because it doesn't really deal with any mature themes such as sex, alcohol or drugs.

Copyright

To avoid any copyright issues I will need a PRS license which I can purchase, this means we can play music from anybody because Dylan Eggbeat will require some music. A PRS license will allow us to play any music we want on the air, this will cost £300 and will have to be renewed annually.

Name or title of program:

Good, fine cooking with Dylan Eggbeat!

Length of show (minimum 10 minutes):

30 minutes

Genre or type of program:

Comedy Cooking narrative

Brief description / synopsis:

This is a narrative about a chef called Dylan Eggbeat who is abducted by aliens and has to do science fiction adventures while demonstrating his cooking recipes. The recipes are actual human recipes by the way which would actually be helpful so this can blend fans of Sci-fi comedy and cooking

Production method: c Live n Recorded c Both

Target audience

Time of day: 9AM

Day(s) of the week: Thursday

Intended age of audience: 13 to 30 as the humour and sci-fi may appeal to children and adults alike, and the cooking will also appeal to adults as well.

Other target details: Blends the target audiences of a general cooking podcast with fans of science fiction comedy such as Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. This will be suitable for both as one aspect doesn’t overpower the other and the recipes will actually be

It is a very good idea, very clear and very funny. I like the creativity of the idea, as it is different and gives the audience something new to hear. The target audience is very good however first glance 10 seems to young but with the sci-fi type adventures it does tie very well with that age range. I like the time of day as it is early for early risers but I think that it would be better if it was two times a day like later in the evening for people who missed it in the morning. But apart from that BRILLIANT!- Alex J

The Morning Podcast

Length of show:

6 minutes so it doesn't take up too much of

Genre or type of program:

Factual

Brief description / synopsis:

Within this podcast it will be a short podcast that lasts around 6 minutes focusing on one specific area/location and the weather that has been predicted throughout the day this podcast would be uploaded very early in morning as it would save people having to wait for the weather report to appear on the television or on the or radio as they would be able to download it onto their iPod or mp3 device instantly in the morning and listen to it whenever they have a spare moment throughout their day as it has been already downloaded. The main content would be the weather throughout the day in a specific hour and an update on what it would be with each our throughout the day with a possible advertisement at the end of the show to help support the audio product another thing this would entail could be major news events that have happened throughout the day throughout the world on the previous day. An idea for a title could be "The Morning Podcast" as it would be pointless listening to this at night after every five episodes uploaded one would be deleted. The unique thing about this would  be the fact it would not be longer than 6 minutes.
