In our recent media session on Friday, we were talking about different types of radio stations, and radio shows that we listen to. Also talking about the different target markets of our favourite stations and shows. We also discussed the matters of gender, both in case of the audience and in case of radio presenters, and how does gender influence the audience and the show itself.
Then the next task was to listen to our favourite station for 30 minutes, then discuss with the group what we've been listening to. Including our opinion of what target market we think the station is aiming towards.

Chapel Session with Richard Watson
Our most recent session in the chapel, was with Richard Watson. He plays the piano, and sings his own songs.
However, instead of the students doing the recording and setting up of the session, we were told to watch what the media team was doing, so that we can see how it's done and learn from it, so that we as a team can do the same job next time.
The first song that the team recorded was called I know precisely, while recording this track, several takes were needed in order to make the performance sound as professional and as good as possible. Also for the artist to be satisfied with the quality of the performance. The media team was in constant contact with Richard throughout his session, and monitoring every piece of equipment, from video to audio and recording.
The next song was called I'll do it tomorrow, this song had to had 8 takes, until Richard and the media team were satisfied with the performance.
The last song that we watched the media team record, was called Straight To Video, this was the last song that we saw the media team work on.
It was a good session, as it gave me a chance to see how the media team records a session with an artist, and what's involved within the process. This gave me and the rest of the students at taste of what we'll have to do on the next session.

Introduction to my blog
I've had an introduction to the Chaple sessions, and examples of the different sessions.
These sessions usually consist of live music bands, with visuals for web broadcast.
We've heard examples of different sessions done in the chaple in the past. I heard different styles of music, each track was different, and unique in it's own way.
Some examples included: Rock, Folk and acoustic sessions.
Then there was the introduction to the course, which included me having to take part in the different production procedures when recording and setting up the chaple sessions.
I'll have to try two production roles, learn the skills required within each role, and evaluate my progress through this blog.
