4. The Recording Studio
One week In a Studio
I narrowed down my choice to these two
and have chosen the Abbey Road
Penthouse
Abbey Road - £5,000 for the penthouse
Silver street Studios - £3,000
5. Voice Actors
I’mgoing to pay one actor to
cover the voices of both of the
main characters.
Probably about £2,000 for a
weeks work.
6. Folly Sounds
Its
important to have lots of folly sounds in
my radio drama so I would spend some of
the budget on random materials and
objects to record different sounds.
Up to £1000
7. Sound editing
I’m going to be editing the sound myself
but if I wanted somebody else to do it I
would have to pay them at an hourly
rate.
Sound Editor ; £300 - £1000
9. Bill
Billis a dopey , easily amused
and chilled out character. He
doesn’t understand what’s
going on and makes that clear
to the audience.
10. Ben
Billand Ben are very similar ,
but Bens a bit livelier. Ben
has a more hands on
approach to music whilst Bill
will sit their and just mong
out.
11. Target Audience
My drama is aimed
at college students
between 16 – 20 and
fans of comedy
12. Codes
Whilst writing my script I am baring in mind
various different codes that I can use to
make my drama more interesting and
engaging . Their are various different ways
that I am going to do this , for example
the use of music throughout to and to the
words and voices and SFX are going to be
used throughout.
13. Conventions
The story is mainly based on spoken word as I
dont want any narration in my drama , I might
include a flashback and a fades in and out.
I dont want the listeners to get distracted by
narration or constantly changing plot lines
with constant flashbacks and things to think
about , I want a simple straight forward well
though out drama that I can produce to a
high standard.
14. Styles
The content in my drama is perfect for my
demographic , its made by a teenager , the
only actors in it are teenagers and its going to
be presented to a teenage audience.
Its a very modern style radio drama and I feel
that its a new idea that hasn't been done
before , so I have alot of room to adapt
change and find a good strong style that fits
the wants and needs of a young audience.
15. Structures
I'm aiming for the drama to be about five
minutes long because I don’t want to drag it
on for to long and young audiences have a
tendency to get bored and distracted very
easily to I would like to keep things moving
quickly.
The plot is slow moving and develops
throughout the story , its easy to follow alot of
people are going to be able to relate to it
and hopefully people might even find it
funny.
