LO1: Analysing Existing Audio Media Product


LO1 – Understanding existing audio media products and how they are created

Radio Advertisement
Radio advertisements are a form of creating influence and publicity through audio. In itself, they have different formats but there are two ‘primary types’ of radio adverts. This is live reads and produced spots. The live read format relies on a presenter to read an advertisement for a client, which is often done when a presenter/DJ endorses a product or service. The other format is the produced spot, which is when a literal produced advertisement is recorded for the client. The process for this is recording the dialogue and then adding sound effects and background music, jingles and other several features that help catch the attention of a potential consumer.

Radio Jingle
A jingle is a short and usually memorable tune or music which is commonly used in advertising or identifying a service or product. The construction of a jingle often contains one or more hooks which function to capture the attention of the consumer/audience. A slogan will then be played which is usually the motto of the service/product being provided. Radio jingles follow the same idea but in the sense that they are using this to create a brand rather than to promote and existing brand. These radio jingles are usually in the form of a sung jingle which is known as imaging.

Radio Drama/Ident
A radio ident is a form of identification for a radio station. It is commonly known as a brand or call sign for a radio station.
