important to have lots of folly sounds in

8. The Characters

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.
