Radio jingles evaluation

I created three radio jingles, a news jingle, a show promotion and a radio station ident. I used sound booth to create the jingles I also used other programs such as I tunes to get music for the jingles for the first jingle the news jingle i wrote a script and then recorded it using the inbuilt microphone in the apple mac I was using I then loaded it into sound booth and cut it down to a size that was easy to work with i then went onto garage band and made a tune to go in the background of the news jingle after I had finished that i then went to sound booth and merged the two recordings together to make my complete news jingle. For my second jingle the show promotion I wrote a script and then recorded it using the inbuilt microphone in the apple mac I was using I then loaded it into sound booth and cut it down to a size that was easy to work with I then went to I tunes and download a selection of tracks for background music. Once I had download the music tracks I cut then down and mixed them together to make a mix of songs to play in the background of my show promotion I then edited al the tracks and recorded audio together in sound booth to make my finished show promotion. For my last radio jingle I used the same methods as mentioned above including using the microphone in the apple mac and loading music from I tunes to use as background music and editing it all I sound booth. I could have improved my jingles by adding more music and audio and making them longer.

Here are an example of some of my pinhole camera pictures the ones on the right are the orginal pictures and the ones on the left are the pictures onces they have been edited in photo shop. I like the last two images as it is clear althougth it had to be edited in phot shop before it was a clear image because when i took the picture i did not use engough exposure.




































How Pinhole cameras work

A pinhole camera is a very simple camera that is a light-proof box with no lens and a single very small pin size hole in one side this is called the aperture you control the aperture by changing the size of the hole in modern cameras the aperture is used to change the light setting so you can take clear pictures in light and dark areas.

A pinhole camera works by moving a piece of material from over the pin hole allowing Light from a scene to pass through the pinhole and project an inverted image on the opposite side of the box which has a piece of light sensitive photo paper on it,. The pinhole is then covered and the camera is taken to a dark room. You control the exposure of a pinhole camera by changing the length of time you leave the pinhole uncovered. Getting the right exposure is very important on a pinhole camera as if the exposure time isn’t long enough the picture will come out as a white blob and if the exposure time is to long it will come out as a black blob. You can work out roughly the correct exposure time by measuring the space in-between the pin hole and the photographic paper (this is called the focal length) and measuring the diameter of the pin hole and then divide them by each other and using that number with an estimate or a correct measurement with a light meter of the amount of light in the room you can work out how long the exposure should be.

Once the camera has been used it is taken to the dark room where the photographic paper is taken out of the camera and developed by being put into two different chemicals which cause the image to appear on the paper which is then removed from the dark room and dried producing a finished photograph.
