Street Interview Questions

Question 1 : How Homely is Bradford to you?

Question 2 :  What does Bradford mean to you?

Question 3 : What has Bradford done for you?

Question 5: What attractions would you want to see in Bradford’?

Question 6: What improvements can be made to Bradford?

Question 7: What do you think of the council , what changes could they do?

Question 8 : What Food places would you suggest to the audience to go to in Bradford?

Question 9 : What is one thing youd change about Bradford?

Our group idea began as a gameshow but then we thought if we change to a talk show we can have different sections of the show. For example we could have a discussion section, an interview section and a live music section.

We were also going to have a section where we ask for food recommendations and then visited the restaurants and tried the food out for ourselves. Unfortunately we were forced to scrap the idea due to being on a strict budget and not being able to afford visiting the restaurants.

I then put some loops together on GarageBand using their “Apple Loops” where I created a theme song for the show.

I then recorded my voice saying:

Live from Bradford College Studio. Please welcome your hosts Henry and Meher. This is BRADFORD TV.

Then I added a narration vocal filter and turned up the reverb and ambience effect to make it seem like it was in a large room. I then added applause sound effects I found on “BBC Sound Effects” which is a library of sound effects which are all royalty-free. This made it seem like it was in front of live studio audience.

We were in the studio a lot practicing for the actual recording. We all rotated roles so we could all experience what it is like in each role. This proved to be affective as by the end everyone knew how to use all the equipment.

We started with this logo which is very simplistic and modern. This didn’t seem to be a good fit for the show because it was far too simple.

We then switched to this logo designed by Meher. This logo seemed to fit the brand of the show much better.
