History of BBC Radio 1 Breakfast show

The Radio 1 Breakfast Show. Radio 1 Breakfast is a radio show that is broadcast across the UK from 6:30am to 10am, Monday to Thursday. The show is the most listened to broadcast on BBC Radio 1. It is hosted by Greg James who took over from Nick Grimshaw on 20 August 2018 as the show's 16th presenter.

Other names: Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James

Hosted by: Greg James

Running time: 210 minutes (6:30 am–10:00 am)

Original release: 30 September 1967 – present

The first breakfast show presenter was Tony Blackburn, who spoke the first words on Radio 1 and remained in the slot for nearly six years. Other DJs who have hosted the breakfast show for more than five years are former host Nick Grimshaw, Mike Read, Simon Mayo and Chris Moyles. Moyles is the longest-serving Radio 1 breakfast show presenter, having hosted The Chris Moyles Show for eight-and-a-half years.

Nick Grimshaw (2012–2018)

Nick Grimshaw replaced Moyles as host of the breakfast show on 24 September 2012. Features include Call or Delete – a game carried on from his previous show on Radio 1, where celebrity guests choose to either prank call a contact on their phone or delete their number altogether. Other segments include The Nixtape – which sees Grimshaw select 30 minutes of party-oriented music before a DJ comes in to mix listener requests to close the week, Happy Monday, a half-hour of uplifting songs on Monday mornings, Showquizness, an irreverent daily quiz based around pop culture, Happy Hardcore FM, which sees listeners phone into the show to scream over happy hardcore beats, and the daily Waking Up Song, which features celebrities encouraging listeners to get out of bed to the sound of Pharoahe Monch. Grimshaw's incarnation of the breakfast show has received strong critical reviews through his tenure but has polarised public opinion, which is reflected in the show's often fluctuating listening figures – in February 2015, the show had 5.9 million listeners, with a small increase in listenership of 100,000. On 26 October 2017, it was reported that the show recorded 4.93 million weekly listeners between July and September – down from 5.5 million last quarter, a record low. The Newsbeat news and sport bulletins are presented by Tina Daheley at 6:30, 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30 and 9:30; there is also entertainment news from Sinead Garven at approximately 7:45 each morning.

Greg James (2018–present)

Greg James began his tenure as host of the breakfast show on 20 August 2018. Roisin Hastie reads the bulletins for Newsbeat every half-hour except at 09:00. Features include Yesterday’s Quiz and the Ten Minute Takeover, alongside Game of Phones and Unpopular Opinions.

Evaluation of Christmas Photos

This photo is poor due to the framing. I have not taken the photo close enough so it allows the rest of the room to be included. The reason I went for this background is because the red on the background matches the female model's jumper and hat.

I believe the second photo is one of the better ones I took due to the model breaking conventions by not looking directly into the camera. However, the white stripes of the model don't really match the theme of red.

However, the third photo is not one of my best due to the poor framing of the shot. There is a little bird at the bottom of the shot but due to the framing you can only see half of it.

Evaluation of Photos

I believe these photos are of a good standard as they are all clear and precise images, the first photo is good because of the long view you get of the corridor. The second photo is good because of the clear skies and composition of the photo. Finally, the third photo is good because of the lighting and the composition.

However, these three photos are bad due to poor composition and positioning. For example, you can see my arm in the first photo. In the future I must position myself better in order to take a better photo. In the second photo there is a crescent of light across the wall, this ruins the shot and in future I must position myself better to make sure there is no light obstructing the photo. Finally, in the third photo its not clear and very blurry, in future I must wait for the camera to focus in order to obtain the best shot.

Shelter Charity

Layout: 

The layout of the website suggests that the colour red is a key component to this charity, as the girls in the photo are wearing red at the top of the homepage. The logo is also red and so are the links on top are the rest of the links on the site, this presents a clear theme of red. This may represent the love they have for the charity or the danger that homeless people are in on a daily basis. Also, there are two young girls on the homepage which may suggest that they are volunteering as most young people don't have much money to donate.

What they do: 

The fact that the "help people" is in the colour red continues the theme of red. Also it helps it stand out from the rest of the white age. This page also helps people who don't know anything about the charity to inform them of what they do.

   

Mission statement: This mission statement fully reflects what the charity is trying to do. It is also red to match the theme of the website.

Textual analysis of a magazine front cover

 The Strap line is usually based at the top of the magazine and usually just above the masthead but in this magazine it's laced over the "V" in Vogue.

The model's name is in a large font as she is very famous after the Harry Potter franchise and has lots of fans and as she has had her appearance changed it may be difficult to recognise her.

Emma Watson's lip colour corresponds with the masthead, the colour of her name and the bracelets she has on. Her lips will be the main attraction which will attract more male readers to this predominantly female targeted magazine.

The main colour scheme to this front cover is burgundy, as this is a rather feminine colour it may encourage females to buy it more than men.

The masthead of the magazine is large and bold to catch the reader's eye, it also matches the colour scheme of red/burgundy.

The main image is a medium close up shot. It takes up large amounts of the page, the bright colours are used to catch the reader's eye and to make it stand out on the shelf. Emma Watson is also looking directly into the camera in quite a voyeuristic way. She also has her arms close to her body suggesting innocence and defencelessness.

The cover line reads "the only bag you'll need this season" this may attract a female target audience that are subscribers of vogue magazine.
