Evaluation - Preliminary Task


Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

When preparing my preliminary task, I had a very minimal understanding of how to do a variety of things, such as, recording, editing, and scripting, although I had a vague idea as to how to write a script for a radio show. This was highlighted in my inability when confronted with all the equipment, and the task ahead. I got confused as to how the microphone works, what type of editing tools to use etc. This is in stark contrast to my preparation and production of my main task. I created my preliminary task in September with little preparation for what I was going to do. My main task, which I produced and created in April, was completely different. I had 7 months of research into radio in my mind, drafts and drafts worth of scripts, and experience in using the equipment. I knew exactly what I was going to do and how to do it, although there were various things I still needed help with, as it takes longer than 7 months to be a highly experienced teacher with a broad understanding of radio. Therefore, I have learnt, looking back at my preliminary task, how to create an authentic radio show, as well as all the skills required.
