In the 2nd week of our course we created are own 25 second radio jingle. Our task was to create a product which we would then advertise on the radio, this would include sounds (which would have to be catchy to draw the listener in). First of all we listened to other radio jingles, to find out what we would need to include and how they sound. Once we researched other jingles, we found a tune on the internet, we produced our own 5 second jingle on Logic Pro, which is a software found on the Apple Macs, we produced this by pressing the keys which acted as a small keyboard, if you went into the library there was some 3 second demos, which we would then ,ix it all together.
This process created our own 5 second jingle. Even though it was only 5 second it still was hard because your jingle had to work with the tune that you found on the internet and it had to match your own product, my product was a radio which when you listened to it, it would puff a refreshing smell so you can feel relaxed, this also helps health and safety because then you don’t have a refresher hanging down which could distract you.
If you wanted you could add some special effects, because my 25 second jingle was being advertised I added a special radio effect which is associated with radio. Other people used different effects like glass smashing and scream, this gave it a sound of professionalism. It would also draw the listener in to pay attention to the advert. Once we finished with the sounds, we then entered the important part of the task which was to add are own voice to the jingle which would complete the 25 second jingle, we had to go down to Chris the technician to collect some recorders. We would have to find a quite spot to record you advertising your product this had to be around 10 seconds long.
