Radio Anaylsis

Capital Fm:

Capital  fm is Britians number one listened to radio station. I has over 1.4million viewers and explores a variety of different genres of music. Inbetween songs they have numerous adverts which divides the show and earns the company more money. You are able to listen to Capital Radio on many different devices. The most used device has to be either car radio or the 'free to download' app you can access on most phones.

Downloading the Capital App is a quick way to access music. The home screen of the app tells you the current playing song ( so you are able to download it act) and also tells you the upcoming videos, speakers or breaks.

Smooth radio;

Smooth Radio has very similar details and characteristics are Capital however the genre of the music is more calm and old fashioned. The app is a vibrant purple which i feel attracts and interests me more than the dark blue. You are told the upcoming and coming songs. The overall layout of the Smooth app is identical to the Capital app.

Capital Extra;

From the idea of Capital FM comes Capital Extra. From the same layout and company the only difference is the overall colour and genre of music. Personally i dislike Capital Extra as the music is far to upbeat and fast, however they are reaching up to 1.1million listeners.

Classic FM;
Out of all the station so far i dislike the colour of this one the most. Although i find the colour repulsive i feel that it will attract a larger fan base (each with different genders) as it is brightly designed. The genre is 100% classical which could lower the amount of listeners as the population of young people is larger than the elderly.

Like all the apps it shows the current song playing and its artist. Right at the bottom of the screen are 5 icons, -On Air, -Schedule, -News, -Discover and -More. This gives you the chance to explore a variety of different music stations and/or artists.

Heart;
Heart music, in my opinion, is the best laid out station. It consists of a bright background with larger white font, the font goes well with the background making it stand out more viciously. The 'A' in the title is heart shaped adding a more romantic feel to the station. The current genre of songs the company play are mainly calm, couple music. 

The layout is the same as the other stations but due to the contours between the colours the writing and icons stand out more. The only thing i think Heart Radio could have included is an image of the artist next to the songs name, this is too assure you, you are looking at the right singer if you wish to research the current song.

Gogglebox

Googlebox is shown on a friday evening on Chanel 4 with a variety of different series. Each series is made up by at least 10 episodes all of which are around a hour long. The show was created by putting cameras in family living rooms to capture viewers responses to different TV shows. The TV shows that the families watched were purposely chosen as they were the most popular watched around the nation. The top shows that the families watch are XFactor, Im A Celebrity and Chanel 4 News. They chose these shows is particular due to them being the most watched by the nation. By choosing these shows it gives us a way of interacting with the families and comparing ourselves to the way they reacted.

This show focuses on Comedy however as it is starring everyday people we are able to relate more. Their use of language and sense of humour is easier to understand and they use similar dialect to us. Although it is a fun show and the families responses keep us entertained, I cant help but feel the whole show is constructed. 

The families are aware that their is a camera present in the room which suggests some of their reactions may be false and/or exaggerated to increase the national views. One of the most popular households in the episodes are best friends Sandy and Sandra. They are loved so strongly due to their appearance and their actions. Chanel 4 chose a variety of different families each with a different sense of humour, for example, The Moffatt family are talkative and funny however The Siddiqui Family tend to act more seriously and concerned. 

Overal i think the layout of this program is a great way of receiving more viewers and earning a higher profit however, it is slightly constructed which takes away reality of it.

This is the dvd cover for my first season of Inclosure. I really like how it turned out as is foreshadows whats going to happen in the season however doesn't give any spoilers. Each image on the cover has a purpose for being their. For example the mountains are there because the environment of season one is set around a rocky surrounding. 

The front cover of the case includes everything i buyer will need to know. The target audience/age (bottom right), the name of the Show/Season(Inclosure/No such thing as evil) and relatable images to attract consumers. 

The spine of the case in simple. It includes the Show name, the target age and the special addition icon. All of these need to be present so consumers can analysis what dvd it is without seeing the face of the case.

With the back side i got inspiration from other dvd cases. I cropped and fit the bottom half of the face by using an image of google. This section on the face is what every dvd case has as it tells us the legal side of the dvd. A blurb is always needed, this is to inform the viewer of what the film/show is about and also gives them minimal information of whats happened/happening. Top right of the back face i added how many disks are included. Because is it a continuous show this information is important so consumers know how many disks need to be present in the case.

Overal I think the outcome of my series dvd case turned out really well as it includes everything you'd find on actual dvd cases and gives all the details and consumer will need before purchasing the item.

I decided to create another DVD cover for my Tv Series. I like this cover as it tell us what the program is about yet doesnt spoil anything. Although I like this cover because it is simple and doesnt include to many busy sections I still like the first design more.
