L01 : Understanding codes , conventions , styles and structures of radio drama genres
Codes - Whilst writing my script I am baring in mind various different codes that I can use to make my drama more intresting 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.
I feel that using these different codes and ideas gives me more room and different angles to approach this project from and I intend to use them to my best advantage.
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.
Styles - The content in my drama is perfect for my demographic , its made by a teenageer , 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.
Im even going to the effort of recording everything in a music studio , not only is this the perfect place to edit and prepare my finished drama but its where the drama is set.
Structures - I'm aiming for the drama to be about five minutes long because I dont 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.
