Ara Portfolio, 'The Blank o'clock Show' - Full Episode
Published 2021-09-12
Taking inspiration from actual broadcasts I have listened to, like 'Chris Evans Breakfast Show' on BBC Radio 2, 'Welcome to Nightvale', Scruffy (on YT) and Kenny Everett, I wrote and recorded a fake radio broadcast broken up into 8 segments.
During the 'On Air Holiday Workshop' at Ara 2021, a group of friends and I wrote a comedic KFC ad and a 'Breaking News' segment, and we also went on air on an actual radio broadcast, where I presented a weather segment I had written myself.
The event gave me enough insight and motivation to use the content we had already written to make a short episode, where I composed some quick and easy music on Soundtrap.com and recorded vocal parts at home.

I originally planned on only making some musical edits and the KFC ad - which was uploaded first - but ended up editing the rest of segments during quarantine and the first week back in Level 2.
I made some "album art" to fill in the blanks I didn't make footage for using free-domain images from unsplash.com as well as gettyimages.
This was a large and very fun project, and all of my work was 100% worth it, even if the result is a bit low res due to only using stock footage with a free license.
