Having now gained a sense of what is suitable content for Triple R, I have spent the last two weeks developing ideas for interviews. In class, when placed in groups we interestingly had some similar interests – particularly the use of art and artists and social media and the accessibility of artists depending where in Victoria they are from.
I pursued one interview with a well known street-artist and I really hope this eventuates. Secondly, I have made contact with a University program that does circus and aerobics and can pursue this interview if needed. I developed these ideas keeping in mind the type of content RRR would think suitable for its large and varied audience, hence why the topics of art and something a bit quirky like the circus!
In week 4 my group finally got the chance to practice panelling in the RRR studios, this was great as although we encountered some difficulty we rehearsed how to troubleshoot this on air. Although I have panelled and presented on air before – I was able to recognise how different the RRR panel is, and where it shares similarities with SYN.
For the next two weeks we will be developing a run sheet – a vital tool in radio and also produce a demo to reflect on with the class.
