GarageBand

GarageBand is a program used primarily to create and elaborately edit music. However we shall be using it to make a 20 second long radio advert with sound taken straight from the documentary.
We have been given an overview of how GarageBand works and luckily it does not seem half as complicated as Final Cut. After a quick group discussion we have already decided that we would like the majority of the advert to contain public opinion because that outlines a lot of what the documentary will be about. There are certain quotes that we have also thought to include that stand out from the main interviews.

We have listened to a radio advert from BBC radio 4 that is a good example for how we should go about setting up ours:

• A introduction
• A few seconds saying when the documentary would be on
• Clips from the actual documentary itself
• Music that reflects the mood and genre
• Accurate volume that remains constant

A few things that we may have to think about is the type of music we would like to use, which so far seems like it might be religious music free from copyright. We also have to consider who we will use to record the voice over. Obviously a voice over would sound better if it was an older voice so we may have to ask somebody from outside of the group to come in and read out the voice over for us.
