Paperwork is a necessary part of radio production so that everyone can abide by the rules and not as result not cause any legal disputes such as putting the piece on air. It is also vital, as it makes sure that we do not get into issues about the music we play as otherwise rights may not be paid causing issues.
Personal release form
This form is necessary so that the participant understands that we are going to most likely edit their voice and that it will be broadcast onto the radio meaning that anyone can listen. This form acts as our protection if someone was to say that we broadcasted their voice illegally and as a result, we can protect ourselves from legal issues.
PLEASE FIND ON BLACKBOARD
Music reporting form Music reporting
This form is needed to again protect ourselves from legal disputes, as the whole point of this form is for us to say what music we played and who it was by, even if we only played 10 seconds of it within a package. It protects us as it ensures that the people that made the music receive payment through licenses such as performing rights etc.
Compliance Form Compliance
This form is again for legal protection but is mostly for internal usage. It acts as a checklist to make sure that the programme is not too extreme to be broadcast and to see if there are any issues with the content of the programme, it can also lead to the commissioning of a balancing programme if this was needed. Ultimately it makes sure that no rules are being broken by the programme.
Script SCRIPT
Our Script changed significantly from what is attached on here, as when we were recording the podcast we followed the script apart from the odd area where it would not have been natural to follow the script such as if Donald Trump was mentioned in the conversation and happened to feature in that month we moved the script around on the fly. However, in editing, there were times when we cut things out of the podcast so that we could hit the allocated amount of time that we wanted to and as result, we had to re-order the script and the programme, except the key part which was maintaining a month by a month approach.
