Factual Media Conventions (Radios 1 and 4)

Conventions of media formats consist of observational footage, cut aways, sequences, interviews which are open, closed, semi structured and structured. Voice overs consist of Narrators, commentaries and translators if the interviews are in different languages.

Diegetic/Non Diegetic Sound
They use the sound on the radio in a diegetic  way when your are listening to the reporters or the anchors.
Non diegetic is the intro music at the start of the news report and they use words like 'Listen' to attract the audiences of the specific radio stations. When reporters are in interviews if they are interview about emotional experiences they try to ask more questions about the experience.

Comparing Radio 1 to Radio 4

Radio 1 is more of modern radio station which is aimed at the ages 15 where they use current chart music and the current news headlines.

The none diegetic sounds would be the intro music of the radio shows and the adverts in between each radio reports and reporters would use phrases like 'news be at'.

As well as Radio 4 they use sound bites like beeps at the start of the news report. 

the lead anchor tells the current times and then goes into the current news headlines straight away. They also include sound clips from the interviews and the co- anchor presents the current news headlines.

The presenters are formal because they are for an  older audience of 50 and over.

Discourse

Discourse means how the news reporter or the anchors deliver their voice.
