Legal & Ethical
All our content shall be checked against OFCOM regulations so that there is no profanity or any other offensive content pre-release.
Both our ideas our podcasts meaning they are pre-recorded so if any profanity or any other offensive content is used we can edit that out either by cutting it completely out or putting a beep. Though we would check beforehand with the cast that they make sure not to use any of the above legal issues in pre-production meetings held here at UTC Sheffield or Sheffield Live.
Also because it is a podcast time the time of broadcast is not necessarily an issue. The content would be suitable for all ages (though not of interest to all) so there would be no need to release it at a certain, for example after watershed.
Our intended target audience falls under the teenage category for The Daily Life Of A UTC Student this would mean that there would be a huge range in what is suitable and not suitable to the audience though we would make sure since this is also a informative podcast that we would keep the podcast suitable towards the younger half.
For Quizzical our audience is intended to be a lot older so we would cater towards the older half of the audience rather than the younger; this the older half would take up the majority of the audience.

Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.5GHz Processor
Wi Fi Enabled
250GB Hard Drive
4GB Memory
DVD RW
= £88 [Amazon] (x1)
The computer will have all software and equipment plugged/installed onto the computer.
- *BenQ GL2450HM Monitor
LED
24-inch
Widescreen
= £114 [Amazon] (x1)
Monitors will be plugged into the computer so that all presenters can view the recording and operate any needed equipment.
- Adobe Audition = £194 [Royal Technology] (x1)
Audition will be the main editing software for our podcast
- *Miadomodo BDS21 Office Chair Desk Chair (x3) = £18 (per person) [Amazon]

- *Redstone 4ft Folding Trestle Table (x1) = £25 [Amazon]
The table will have most equipment placed on it.
- Presenters x3 = No cost
- *Trust Starzz Microphone (x3) = £9 [Amazon]
The microphones will be placed next to each presenter (if needed) and spares for any guests.
- *HDMI to HDMI (x3) = £2 [Amazon]
HDMI cables will be needed to plug in most of the equipment that needs visual input.
- *Sennheiser HD201 Headphones = £18 [Amazon] (x3)
These will be used so that the presenters can hear the show whilst recording.

(2 Weeks = £1500 (Includes making and broadcasting the advert)
Profit/Loss
= -£656.70 (Episode 1)
= -£548.70 (Episode 2)
The start up costs would be expensive due to the amount of equipment required and how expensive the individual items cost also since it's new. This will come into effect after the 7th episode.
Though once the episodes air and an income from advert broadcasting comes in the profit will increase and will become cheaper due to advertising.

LO5: [1] Final Pitch Feedback + Chosen Idea
Expanded feedback below:
Areas of strengths based on presenting to Sheffield Live!
Stevlar was pleased with our pitch. Our skills in presenting
were clear and precise. When asked about our pitch we answered firmly and to
the point. He particularly liked Quizzical and felt that it that it showed the
most potential as our final product. Though similar products were compared
overall the product pleased him and we were urged to pick this as our product
to be created.
Areas for improvements based on Sheffield Live! Feedback
and addressing issues.
Stevlar felt that our first idea The Daily Life Of was a “Huge
marketing campaign” and lacked subtlety to this.
To improve upon this the marketing of the product for
future reference should focus on the benefits and unique appeal of the product and
how it benefits the community.
Stevlar also felt that the time frame of 20 minutes was
unrealistic and needed to be longer. As if adverts were used to fill the gap
they would drag on and general does not follow radio conventions.
To improve upon this the show would need to be extended
to around 30 minutes instead. This would mean that we would be able to feature
more topics that can be covered in the show and generally more content.
Reflection
Though Quizzical was the favoured choice both ideas were
liked by Stevlar; who made comparison to other products and showed a keen
interest in the products. The game show style is something he said himself he
had worked with and demonstrated knowledge within the area, he liked the
inclusion of local guests that had meaning within the community and our future
ambitions for the show, that were not dismissed as unrealistic.
He found problems within The Daily Life of, but did not
criticise it any further and did not dismiss the idea completely. Overall both
products were well received but not equally.
