Introduction

In this blog I shall document the process I took in creating the Radio drama that is asked of this assignment, as bellow explains.

Task:
The task we are required to complete is to create is a Radio Drama, a purely audio based fictional piece of media that used to often be preformed live, but nowadays not so much. It should have a clear genre and audience and .

Parameters:
the parameters are things that the finished product must fulfil, such as length. in this case, it must:
 - It must exceed 5 minuets.
 - It must have a full Script.
 - It must be uploaded to YouTube by the end.

Rules:
Rules are things set by Tony that we as creators should follow, but he is able to make exceptions:
 - Most, if not all sounds found must be recorded and made ourselves. From the start he has made exceptions for music as long as it's legally free to use or we have permission (like in my case). Also for the final week and a half of the project he lifted this rule to make it easier for people who are struggling for time.
 - Decide on a Radio slot. This gives you parameters, time constraints, and ideas of what type of drama you will make.

Expectations:
This is what we are expected to do to create something of good quality that appeals to the listener.
 - Pan the volumes, effects, and location of all the sound, switching it from left to right and vice versa and adding reverberation to alter where the sound appears to be originating from.
 - Have a theme, audience, and genre. Your decisions should relate to the appeasing to what the audience wants, making a good representation of your genre, and portraying your themes well.
 - Write interesting and human feeling characters with natural feeling interactions that your audience.
 - Use Adobe Audition's editing and multi-track software to alter and layer the sounds you shall use to make your drama.
 - All sound should have pertinence to the atmosphere or narrative of the story and tell or do something to the reader. Silence is completely acceptable and encouraged if it adds to the Drama.
 - The ending should be conclusive and feel satisfying. Know and plan your ending.

  1. This page is very brief. You'd want to add any rules Tony has set out, eg making most of our own sounds, and say some expectations Tony has, eg having the sound pan between each side of your headphones, having sounds fade between different volumes. Refer to the briefing that Tony has set on learn.

    1. I've expanded upon what I've had, separating it into more if a list form as it's both easier for me to write and others to understand. Does this work, and would you recommend adding anything else?
