BBC Trip

BBC Trip

Last week we went to a trip to the BBC and we had to ask some questions about working in the BBC and how can we get into the TV/Radio industry. These are the pictures i took at the trip to the BBC in Newcastle. I found this experience worth going to because the BBC were able to show us around the areas such as

• The Library contains lots a videos and tape which they can used again for  example anniversaries  and other important historical and cultual events.

• The weather room shown in my second picture. normally there are only one person working in this room unless they cannot used the technology. This is room is used for weather and traffic reports.

• The main set of the studio is used for news, and they used the hard news first to get everyones attention who is watching at home and then the soft news after then the weather in between.

• The weather background they show on tv is to inform the audience that there will be a broadcast on the news will be next.

• The main radio studio is used for the radio on the morning and the producer and the presenter have a screen which they both communicate, so it makes it easier for the presenter so he can keep on talking. I found this really interesting as they use it for recent news because the presenter and the producer are usually in the different room.

 In this lesson i decided to make another music player using a different website called www.podsnack.com and it is made by the same people who created the website i used to create my video slideshow.

Once you go on they website you go on "build playlist" and then type in the name of the playlist, then I went on youtube on a new tab and find songs that i wanted then i copy the url and put it in the box then  i click the "+" to add the your playlist, when i was finish selecting my songs i clicked "next" then i selected my player to use then i clicked "finish" when i done that i click embed to HTML  code then once i done that it came up with a little box then i  went on my blogger and went on new post i clicked on "HTML and i copied the code and paste it into the HTML part of my new post.
