Media Project - Preliminary Task Proposal

I plan to do a radio interview with Dan Simkiss a member of The Fu-qualies. The Fu-qualies released a cover of Fats Domino’s ‘Blueberry Hill’. Unfortunately for the band it didn’t get noticed in the UK. It got within the top 100 in the US but most unbelievably of all it reached Number 1 in Serbia and Macedonia and within the top 10 in Latvia and the Ukraine. So it appears that they made a name for themselves in Eastern Europe with out even trying.
Dan is primarily the Drummer, but made a special appearance as the Vocalist on this particular track. I think that we should interview him to find out exactly what his feeling are about being rejected in the UK but being idolised in Eastern Europe.
The interview will take place on a breakfast/brunch programme at around 9am on a National Radio Station ‘BBC Radio 2’.
The name of the programme is going to be called ‘Dave’s Diner’, an easy listening show, suitable for a lazy start to a Saturday.

My 1st Post

I have created this blog as part of my AS Media course, in order to log and evaluate my Production Portfolio.
My 1st assignment is to create, from scratch, a snippet of a radio show, including:

• A Jingle
• A Link introducing a guest
• A Clip of the guest

I will go into more detail in my next post.

Another use of this blog, logging wise, is to provide sufficient evidence of work, problmes encountered and a diary of important sessions that we have been taught.
