1. Radio Drama
Format and Style – The scripts for radio drama are different to other scripts when it comes to layout.
This is because things such as the slug lines are not in bold writing, they are more specific with the time
(for example they specify when it is morning instead of just day or night.) The slug lines for the script are
also in the centre of the page instead of being on the left hand side. The dialogue is on the right to the
character saying it instead of being under and whenever there is a sound effect there is a line through
the page and then it says the sound effect in the centre of the page, also the language used in the script
is informal and they speak in past tense.
Content – The content of the radio drama script is different to other scripts as there is no information
about the characters who feature in the script, instead the script only uses dialogue and sound effects.
Narrative Structure – The screenplay for the radio drama is fairly linear. The beginning of the script
opens up with dialogue, the audience join in half way through a conversation and gradually learn what is
happening. In the middle we learn that the girlfriend is angry with the boyfriends for going out and
getting drunk, at the end we find out that he has a girls number in his wallet and she begins to accuse
him of cheating until she makes him a smoothy and he collapses feeling sick, then it ends.
Genre – The most obvious narrative genre used in the radio drama was obviously a drama, however it
also uses aspects of a thriller as the storyline gradually prevails to the audience to show what has
happened previously.
Target Audience – The target audience for this radio drama script would probably be for people around
the ages of 18 to 30 who are in relationships. The use of alcohol appeals to younger people as they can
relate to going out and getting drunk till late the early hours of the morning.

2. News Broadcast
Format and Style –There is only one page for the news script, this is different as any other script would
have more than just one page. The language used for the news broadcast is formal. Also for the news
script the timing is on the far left, the video is also on the left next to the timing and the audio is on the
right of the page.
Content – The script contains specific information for everyone involved in making the news broadcast,
for example the reporters, videographer and camera man. There is only one slug line that says video.
There are no slug lines that say ‘INT’ or ‘EXT’ to indicate where the script is taking place and this makes
it different to a master script.
Narrative Structure – The news broadcast script doesn’t seem to have a beginning middle and end,
instead it jumps straight into the news and information is passed on about Tagaytay Gambling until the
end. For the news broadcast script 2 there is once again not much of a linear narrative as there isn’t
much of a beginning middle and end. Instead it simply jumps straight into the news and finishes with
the news.
Genre – The news broadcast is non fiction, it is real life and therefore doesn’t have elements from any
form of genre.
Target Audience – Any person who has a general interest in the news or the specific topic that is being
talked about in the news would be the target audience for the news broadcast.

3. Film
Format and Layout – The general layout of the film script is fairly similar to the comedy sketch, however
the slug lines for the film script are not in bold. The slug lines and narration go on the left hand side of
the screen and the names and dialogue of the characters is in the centre of the screen. The writing on
the script is also formal and the story is in present tense.
Content – The script for the short film has the usual slug lines that specify whether or not it is day time or
night time. The narrative, the character names and dialogue.
Narrative Structure – The short films follows a linear beginning, middle and end. It begins with Marian
travelling to New York to see her daughter, the middle consists of Marian meeting a motorcycle gang and
becoming friends with then, but her daughter feels like she is imagining things, then at the end she gets
on one of the gangs motorcycles and they drive her to the airport. The middle of this story is effective as
the audience are not sure if Marian is imagining things or if the events are actually happening , then at
the end of the short film the audience find out she wasn’t imagining and this is a pleasing moment for
the audience.
Genre – The script seems to go by the basic themes of a drama film, however there could be slight
elements of a thriller as the audience are unaware of what actually happened until the end of the story.
Target Audience – The target audience to this short film would be any people (most probably above the
age of 15) that like heart warming drama films.

4. TV Comedy Sketch
Format and Style – The general layout of this script is similar to the layout of the short film script. The slug
lines and the narration are on the left hand side of the page and the character names and dialogue are in the
centre of the screen. The language used for this script is formal and is in the present tense.
Content – The script has regular use of the slug lines, much like the short film script. Also the slug lines
specify whether the scenes are in the day time or night time.
Narrative Structure – the comedy sketch follows a fairly linear narrative with a beginning middle and end
following the story of a robot police officer (with cardboard armour). Seeing as the script is comedy it is
therefore supposed to be funny. It does this by using silly humour to make the audience laugh.
Genre – The comedy sketch script obviously uses comedy as it’s narrative genre, however people may say it
uses sci-fi elements when the police officer is in the science lab at the beginning of the story.
Target Audience – The target audience for this script would probably be younger people who enjoy
immature and silly humour, possibly people around the ages of 15 to 18. The general humour and comedy of
the script is what would appeal to the audience.
