what is a radio Link and Clip?

Your first assessment for INP1 is a Radio LINK and CLIP. You have to find a story and interview somebody about it. Then you produce the story as a Link and Clip.

The Assessment Brief is available on Learning Central.

So what is a Link and Clip?

It’s a very simple way of telling a story for radio. You have a twenty second script for the presenter to read (the LINK) and you edit your interview into a twenty second soundbite (the CLIP).

Put these together and you have a short version of a story that is suitable for a radio bulletin.

You should record your audio using the Marantz (not your smartphone). No Zoom or phone interviews. You should use Auditionto edit your audio.

Here’s a breakdown of a sample link and clip:

And here’s the audio for that story.

Here are some extra things it’s a good idea to get. (They will be useful later on, but they aren’t part of the assessment).

Finally, here are some examples of previous link and clips submitted by students. The relevant audio for each story is below.

Finally, this is the assessment criteria that we use for all of your INP1 and INP2 assessments. It makes it clear what you need to do to achieve the different marks.
