LO3: Production of the Script

style of script

The style of our ONE 20 script is a magazine show which includes/ features magazine show conventions such as trending topics on celebrities, news and also playing trending music such as chart hits and communication with listeners through 'call ins' and competitions. We have used traditional style of scripts, similar to existing radio script as well as including features to relate and entertain our target audience/ listeners.

Content

Presenters

Presenting our radio show is Me and Evie. As our script is targeted more towards a female audience, including female presenters would make it much more 'relatable' and suited for its audience. Our presenters will have Yorkshire dialect and casual informal talk/ elaborate coding. Also, our mode of address is peer to peer snd how our listeners would speak towards their friends. This makes the show even more relatable for my target audience. Again, this will make it relatable especially towards our South Yorkshire listeners the listeners form different regions may not understand.

Evie informs our listeners on the local news around Sheffield as the will be useful and informative news for our listeners . We have featured this in our promo for 0.35 seconds as this takes up quite a lot of time for our radio show as it is an important feature. We featured this at the beginning of our script.

Our radio show also includes competitions related and targeted to our audience such as winning ticket. Also, competiotions for over 18s is featured in the show. This will attract more listeners from the ages of 16- 24. We have also feature confession call ins, allowing listeners to ring in with problems, secrets etc. This is the sort of entertainment which is target our audience as it consists of humour and interesting content.This is also followed by a chance to win tramline tickets making more people wanting to call in and share their confessions. Also, song request as most of our songs played are suggestions from our listeners making the radio show even more connected with the audience. This is easily done as our target audience are owners of smartphones/tech. We have made our competitions much more relatable for our target audience as we have featured question from on Sheffield native bands and also giving away £100 worth of vouchers at a Sheffield bar. This is specifically targeted at our listeners age, hobbies and also demographic.

Celebrity gossip is another convention that makes up our radio show and is a very large segment in the radio show. We have featured this as our target audience/ listeners find this interesting and entertaining. The sort of celeb gossip and news we feature are usually related to musicians as our show is based and plays music. A celeb news we featured was the death of Avicii which was then followed with a song of his relating topics with the music presented. Also, celeb gossip with mainstream and trending celebs such as Khloe Kardashian and Cardi B, who are also very well known.

Throughout the show our narrative for our radio show includes music, which is suited for our listeners and related to our jingle as we present the biggest hits and also suggested by them, celeb gossip, competitions and also confessions. We have overall suited the radio for our target audience and to entertain them. 



When creating this script we all created parts as a team effort. Hannah wrote the advertisements, Evie wrote the news articles, while Shauna wrote the chatty dialogue. All 3 jingles were wrote by all of us.

Equipment I will be using to create a radio show are equipment such as;


Hardware

• Microphone- We will need microphones to record any audio, sound for our radio, interviews, advertisements etc.

• Apple MAC- This is where all our software for recording and editing will be.

• Mixing Disk- We intend to use a mixing disk to create our jingles and ass sound effects during the radio show.

• Pop Filter- This is to be attached to the microphone to ensure the recording and speaking to the microphone is clear.

• Headphones- This is used for producers and presenters to hear what is and what was recorded.

• Speakers-  Speakers are used so producers are able to listen to what has just been produced such as sound effects and audio recorded.

Software

• Adobe Audition- This is the software that I plan to use when we finish recording for editing and adding sound to create our final radio show.

• Adobe Premiere- This is to edit video and sound. This may be used to edit any interviews that may be video recorded and added onto our radio.

• Garage- This is to record and save our radio/ audio onto , while we are speaking/ recording in the recording studio.

Lo2: Script Draft

LO3:Evaluation of the script

Evaluation

Our script has successfully met the requirements of the brief through producing a 5- 10 minute script for a new local community radio show for Sheffield Live! It was successful through also ensuring it included;

Presenters/ voice actors

News bulletin

Feature/ interview/ narrative 

Jingle/ theme music 

Bedding music/ sound/ effects

Original advert

Competition/ social media links

Some strengths our client gave back to us on our script was how the presenters turn taking was not too long or too short as having long dialogue without a different presenter/ break being in between would bore and put listeners off the show. Also, our dialogue was said by the client to be very casual, friendly and suited to the target audience, which was a strength because it made the show more relatable for our audience.

Client feedback on improvement to our script included improvements such as making it more realistic with its funding through giveaways being smaller and cheaper as the company will not be able to afford a large giveaway. Also, our script did not straight away introduce the presenters as it should, which is why this was an improvement form our client feedback. This is to ensure our listeners are familiar and know who is who.

To change the script giveaway into something capable for the radio company to afford we changed it from a money giveaway to vouchers at a local Sheffield diner. Also, we included our names at the beginning to introduce us to ensure our listeners are not confused.
