As part of my specialist subject Tuesday session I was set the challenge of working in a small group to create a product that 'celebrates and promotes 10 years of Cornwall SCITT'. My group chose to record a radio advert (and I put on my best posh for the voice-over).
See what you think of the final results by clicking here:
Our advert uses music, sound effects and voice-overs to create a textured quality intended to grab the listener's attention. Copyright became an issue as we chose a song by Candi Staton produced by EMI. I contacted EMI to request permission to use the track, but have still had no response. We have subsequently discovered a brilliant website that has lots of music available to use in projects such as ours. If I was to teach a podcasting lesson, then I'd let my students explore this site, preventing any breach of copyright laws. Here's the link to the site: www.freeplaymusic.com
If you need to contact EMI to request clearance for using one of their songs, here's where to go: www.emimusicsample.co.uk/Sampleclearance/guide3BOD.htm
There are several websites offering free sound effects, here are some of them:
www.a1freesoundeffects.com
www.stonewashed.net/sfx.html
www.pacdv.com/sounds
www.partnersinrhyme.com
Fact: politicians are not allowed to advertise on the radio because of the subliminal nature of the medium!
