1. I plan on starting the school's Radio Club again and producing each of the members radio shows. To produce their shows would mean to work with each "DJ" or each team of DJ's and help them produce their content by coming up with creative ideas that can be used in their own shows. In addition to that, I would also facilitate the group's overall shows and keep constant themes throughout the time being.
2. I'd be giving up my own time throughout the week to organize and conduct club meetings. I would also meet up with the DJ or DJ's in a one-on-one meeting to discuss production throughout the week so that they can get more involved with listeners and learn about great ways to come up with content for their shows. I would also self produce my own shows under the supervision of the teacher adviser, as well as receive assistance with producing my talk show. By using this as my IC, I would boost school spirit and morale. I'd keep track of time with a printed log with daily or weekly signatures to keep track of my hours.
3. By using what I've learned from my previous IC, I will be able to find more effective ways of producing a radio show that is successful, which is defined as what would bring in more listeners and what would entertain people more through an audio-only media.

Blog 14: Independent Component 1
LITERAL
1. I, Alfonso Corona, affirms that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
2. My mentorship at Calvary Chapel Montebello
<Marquez, Mathew. "Second Interview With Radio." Personal interview. 17 Jan. 2013.>
3. Top-Right Link under "Mentorship Hours", but here's the link.
4. I was a live webcast producer for 32 hours, 15 minutes (spanned over a few weeks) at Calvary Chapel's On The Level Multimedia ministry. I watched and worked with the sound being broadcast over the internet feed which the church uses to reach people who may not be able to attend in person.
INTERPRETIVE
1. My work has greatly benefited my project in many ways. It's because I was able to conduct an actual live broadcast, I learned about what goes into being ready. It helped a lot because radio production does involve a lot of technology, and how you're expected to prepare that technology beforehand. My work does show 30 hours of work because of the quality in each of our live webcasts and podcasts from the past few weeks. People are constantly ordering the CD's and DVD's of the recorded material I was able to make with my mentor. I'm also able to say that I can serve my congregation to the best of my ability.
APPLIED
1. My component helped me understand my foundation because of the work that goes into the technical aspect of my project, which is a major part of radio in general. I also learned about what kinds of sound mixing techniques are great for creating an entertaining radio show. With my mentor, I've also learned how to broadcast live shows, while still maintaining the quality of the sound and of the performance in general. One example being this past Wednesday, where I had to find a way to make the worship band sound less muffled due to a faulty speaker and a connection to the mixer. I had mix the sound in a way where even though it sounds quieter, it still sounds a lot more clear.
Due to liability issues, I'm not able to actually post pictures of our production office, but I do have other pictures of the church:

Blog 11: Mentorship 10 Hours Check
- I'm currently doing my mentorship at Calvary Chapel Montebello, a nondenominational church which does podcasting and live webcasting.
- My mentor is one of the producers of the show and part of the Broadcasting ministry at the church, but the Volunteer Coordinator is the one who keeps track of my volunteer hours.
Lisa, Volunteer Coordinator
(323) 724-8464
Matt Marquez, On The Level Media
(213) 400-5009 - 10 hours so far, but refer to the Mentorship Log link on the right....
- So far, I was introduced to live webcasting and how to work the cameras and sound system at church. I also learned some more familiar things like working a sound mixer. My mentor showed me different techniques regarding sound mixing like fading in and out, how to fix volume according to the lead singer and backup singer of the worship band. I also learned about how to record the service, so that it can be webcasted across the world, and be made into copies to be sold for a small price, which benefits the ministry, specifically the On The Level Media, which is the multimedia broadcasting ministry within the church.

Blog 10: Senior Project Update
1. Not much, because I'm still looking for a mentor that will let me shadow or volunteer in their workplace. I've been asking various places and it looks like Mt. SAC will most likely be my new mentorship place, it's just a matter of getting in touch with my potential mentor because she's so busy.
2. I found a great book online called, "The Media Student's Guide to Radio Production". It had lots of great information on what goes into producing a radio show and how things like jingles and radio ads are produced. It's because of this book, I've decided that as soon as I get a mentor, I will go into the production side of radio. I could be find a mentor who's a creative director or a live show producer. This book really gave in-depth information on how radio stations promote themselves and artists alike.
3. Here is a picture of what I read in November:

Blog 9: Working EQ and Possible Answers
1. My working EQ was, "What does it take to produce a radio show?"
2. I am not going to revise my EQ at this time.
3. It takes a lot of time to produce radio shows. Many factors that play into a show are on-air advertisements, contests, interviews, stories, commuter reports, the actual music, radio jingles, and so on. You also have to write radio scripts to stay on schedule with the program, and sometimes you also have to make pre-recorded shows and play them on schedule. This is important because all these things bring in revenue and high ratings for a station, it can also broaden an audience.
