Production Schedule

This is the production schedule of our talk and music radio programme

We will be launching The Glorious Space Chefs on the 11th of June as it will be a Thursday, getting people used to the schedule, then we can start planning for the next episode on the following Monday. This is because we want the show listened to people on their way to work before the holidays so they can get used to the show now without trying to attract people at a time where radio wouldn't be as used.

Editing our final discussion

Editing 

For our radio show we needed to edit the raw audio that we had recorded to ensure a decent quality throughout the entire discussion, we used the software Adobe Audition to do this. The things during the editing process that we had to keep in mind was the mixing of all the tracks so that the volume is at a consistent level. Meaning that the volume for the music isn't really high compared to the rest of the discussion, by doing this it would mean that the listener will be able to have the same volume throughout the entire discussion and not get startled.

Title

The Glorious Space Chefs

Intended radio station/broadcaster

Our intended radio station is Sheffield Live! They are a community radio station which caters to the undeserved listeners of Sheffield. Due to the variety of unique shows which Sheffield Live! broadcast, 'The Glorious Space Chefs' would fit into their schedule of radio programmes.

 

Target audience

The radio show is targeted at 16 to 35 year olds, as there will be electronic music which appeals to the younger age range, and music from the science fiction movies, TV shows and video games which can range up to the age of 35. The cooking aspect of the show will appeal to adults because they are much more likely to want to learn to cook more adventurous food using the space chefs' recipes. The audience will be part of the DC1C2 demographic because they are listening to community radio and want to find out how to cook new and interesting recipes.

Content plan

At the beginning of the show we will have a jingle which will familiarise the listeners with who the Glorious Space Chefs are, what the show is about, if there's any special guests, they will be mentioned as well.  We will then have an introduction to the show which reminds frequent listeners and informs new ones what happened on the previous show. After that there will be a structure to the show which will allow listeners to become familiar with the shows content but stay entertained. The content and will be in five minute intervals and advertisements will be in 1 minute intervals in order to keep the listeners interested in the show.

Production

 

Pre-production

We are going to collect audio effects which can be used when editing the radio show. We will also be researching what we are allowed to say on the radio in order to ensure that we do not offend the audience.

Production

We will be recording the audio which will be part of the radio show, it will include the hosts who are talking to each other and help the audience to understand that the show is Sci-Fi and will entertain audiences who will enjoy listening to show's content which is about "glorious space chefs."

Post-Production

During post-production we will be editing the audio which our hosts have produced for the show. We will be creating a jingle and adverts which will make the show recognisable and allow pauses in the show in order to make it more exiting.

GLORIOUS SPACE CHEFS! SUPER DUPER SPACE TUNES. ALSO COOKIN' TOO! ONLY ON SHEFIELD LIVE, YEAH! 

ANDREW

Welcome to The Glorious Space Chefs, the finest show in cooking and spacey sounding music.



JOE
An unfilled niche!

ANDREW
I'm Andrew

JAMES
I'm James

JOE
And I'm Joe

ANDREW

Let's kick this off with a classic space song, one of the most memorable. Why from John Williams himself, the Star Wars theme from A New Hope.

JAMES

A bit generic. so your idea of spacey music instantly goes to Star Wars right guys, right?

JOE
Yeah let's just have superhero radio and then play the Superman theme all the time on a loop

ANDREW
Whatever, whatever let's just play the song.

(Star Wars theme plays)

JAMES
Alright so now we have the type of people who'd listen to the Star Wars theme in the car, let's get onto our recipe

JOE
 Today we will be demonstrating a delicious pork casserole with apples, walnuts and celery.

ANDREW
Of course. Introducing special guest, Ken, to read out the ingredients!

JAMES
(Mutters) I hate that Ken.

KEN
(Background music in recipe)
 For this dish you will need two tablespoons of sunflower oil, 500 grams of pork fillet, cut into cubes and trimmed of fat. 900 millilitres of boiling chicken stock, 100 grams of broken walnuts, 300 grams of long grain rice, one onion roughly chopped, 8 celery sticks cut across into 5 centimeter lengths with leaves reserved and chopped, 450 millilitres of apple juice or cider, one bay leaf, 3 crisp dessert apples and salt and pepper.

JOE
If you missed out on any of these ingredients, have no fear as at thegloriousspacechefs.blogspot.co.uk, we will post the list of ingredients needed. Again that's thegloriousspacechefs.blogspot.co.uk.

ANDREW
And if you forget any ingredients then you'll be in a muddle (boing sound effect)

JAMES
Now that the ingredients are stated, while you get them together, we have a very classic space related David Bowie song to play.

ANDREW
That's right, up next, David Bowie: Starman.

JOE
Not Space Oddity?

ANDREW
At this point it's lost its touch, Joe. It's lost its touch.

KEN
Can I go now?

(David Bowie: Starman plays)

ANDREW
Starman's pretty underrated.

JAMES
It's not really, it's David Bowie, everybody loves him.

JOE
I prefer Space Oddity

ANDREW
Joe just proved the point I was going to make, Space Oddity and Life on Mars overshadow it

JOE
Speaking of overshadowing, now time for the method.

ANDREW
 How does that make sense?

JOE
I don't know, but you know what makes less sense? A random ad!

JAMES
(Audible sigh)

Hungry? (Ding sound effect) Thirsty? (Ding sound effect) Too lazy to cook? (Ding sound effect) Too lazy to travel? (Ding sound effect) Well I hear your cries, as Prime Pizza can sort that out.

(Advertisement end)

JAMES
Okay now for the method.

ANDREW
Pre heat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius or Gas Mark 3.

JAMES
Then heat the oil in a flameproof casserole.

JOE
After that, add the pork and fry until it's browned on all sides.

ANDREW
You're going to want to stir frequently, for about 5 minutes. Until then we're going a little bit Daft, with Daft Punk: Digital Love.

(Daft Punk Digital Love plays)

JAMES
That was Daft Punk Digital Love. From the 2001 Discovery album.

JOE
So now you're going to want to add the celery and onions and fry for about 10 minutes.

ANDREW
Or, until softened!

JAMES
Now while that fries, it's time for a good Aerosmith song. I don't wanna miss a thing.

ANDREW
Oh no that one.

(Aerosmith I don't wanna miss a thing plays)

ANDREW
And if you don't wanna miss a thing either, at thegloriousspacechefs.blogspot.com, as soon as we say the steps of our method, we'll put them there too.

JOE
Now the pork, celery and onions should still be frying, so how about we give our show, a touch.

ANDREW
A touch?

JOE
Not just a touch.

ANDREW
You mean... the touch?

JOE
The touch..... by Stan Bush.

JAMES
Best known from the animated Transformers movie in the 1980s.

(Stan Bush the Touch plays)

ANDREW
That was Stan Bush the Touch. A beautiful song. Anyway the pork, celery and onion should be fine now, so it's time to add the apple juice or cider if you prefer, and the bay leaf.

JAMES
Season with some good old salt and pepper to taste.

ANDREW
If only Stan Bush made a song called The Taste.

JOE
It'd make transformers seem less epic though.

ANDREW
That's true.

Legal and Ethical

The show will only be able to play material which is either uncopyrighted or that we have gained permission to use. We will contact the owner of the copyrighted music in order to gain their permission to play the song on our radio show, though the radio station has a PRS license so this will never be an issue. We would need to ensure that, since we are on the radio, the presenters do not say anything which could be considered offensive. We will make sure that nothing offensive is on the radio show, in order to ensure that we followed the guidelines of Ofcom and that nobody will find the radio show offensive. The show will be broadcast at 9AM which means younger people, such as children, will be listening to the radio show which means that we will need to control the language used on the show so that they aren't offended. When producing the radio show we need to make sure that we follow the rules of Ofcom, so that we do not offend anyone when talking on the radio show. We must make sure that we do not use any "offensive language" on our radio show because it is available to younger audiences. We will also need to make sure that we have paid for a PRS license to make sure that we are allowed to play music on the radio show. We will have to make sure that we have permission to use all of he material that we use as part of the content of our radio show as required by section 319(4) of the act 3 because content is part of the ownership of a particular person or company that created it.

The Production
We have followed production processes in order to make sure that the radio show would be usable and that it that we created it to a high technical standard. We used the sound booth in order to raise the quality of the recordings and make sure that there wasn't much of an echo when the presenters were talking. In terms of legal and ethical we have made sure that we haven't sued any offensive material and that we have permission for any music we use. We have made the radio show entertaining by making sure that we have a jingle and interesting background music, as well as editing the audio to make it sound more professional and remove the hiss from the audio.

Proposed scheduling time

The show is scheduled to be broadcast on Thursdays at 9AM. The show will be hammocked between 'Sheffield Uprising' and 'Africa Beat' because it will allow people to listen to the show when they are on their way to work and then attempt to follow the recipe when they get home. The show is early in the morning and will be uploaded as a podcast available for download at any time.​
