Proposal

Overview of content/Target audience
I will be creating an insert for the radio station 'Capital Xtra' on the program 'Abrantee' which is a slot on every Thursday between 4pm and 8pm. My interview will start at 5:30pm and last for 10 minutes. The insert would consist of informational facts as well as opinions on young relationships, I am focusing on this subject as you have a range of teenagers/young adults who can relate to this subject as well as people having different opinions. The main point of this is to hear out the different opinions on what this subject as well as information that can be beneficial and informational to everyone.The target audience I have aimed my topic at is 16-18 year olds.I have chosen this age range as they are the target audience I would like to look at when asking questions about young relationships, however I am also considering to involve an adults perspective on young relationships and allowing parents and teachers to have a say and give a valid opinion on the topic. As it is going to b an informational podcast, by having an opinion from an older audience and addressing it to my target audience, it will allows them to listen to the different opinions and act upon that. When beginning each interview I will be asking them ;why are young relationships a bad idea?' by creating a very direct question it allows the interviewee to be very board with their answers as it is not a straight forward question, it also creates an argument between the interviewer and interviewee as they would think the interviewer is being biased they will provide enough information about the subject which is what I want from the interviews.
Throughout the interview, I will be asking a range of open questions, multiple questions etc. As I would want a range of answers and different opinions forwarded back to me. The tone of the interview won;d be very informational but also light hearted depending on the audience I m talking to, if I ask a younger audience about young relationships they would not take it as serious as an older audience, this means I would have to make sure they feel comfortable around me when answering the questions, this is so they can construct the best possible answer. Talking to an older audience about this topic, I do not have to be as light heard ; as they are mature people they will find it easier to talk to about this subject n grew detail.

Required resources
The equipment I will be using to interview is a SLR camera and a microphone, which is all provided by 'Acland Burghley School'. I will be using the microphone as it would allow me to record all sound of the interview and the SLR camera would be to record and film interviews iI will be  interviewing my target audience during school as I will have access to the students during school and film them. As I am working on my own I do not have a crew to work with which means I will be filming, organising interviews as well as editing the footage on my own. If I want to talk to an older audience, I will approach them at a later time, as they usually would be working a 9am-5pm job. As I will be interviewing students, I can gather the students I want to use from the  Sixth form and the school of Laswap and Acland Burghley.

Production schedule/ Precise duration/
How it fits with the radio schedule
My insert would be aired on 'Capital Xtra' in the section 'Abrantee' which is the 4:00pm -8:00pm slot in the radian package, which plays a range of different songs and old songs for people who are making their way home. My insert would be around 5:30pm between the songs the duration of the insert would be around 10 minutes, which means the slot given to me ends at 5:40pm. I chose this time for my insert to be aired as this is the perfect time in which the audience would be making there way home and would be listening in at this time. As the radio station is aimed at a younger target audience, I felt like this would be the perfect radio station fro teenagers / young adults to listen in on the topic.
