  Technique 1:  0:29-0:31  In this scene, we attempted to overlap the audio so it sounded like the main character and her best friend were syncronishing and speaking at the same. However, after listening to project again the synchronisation seemed to be off timed and sounded awkward as the characters spoke after each other and not at the same time. This may seem awkward and unappealing to the listeners as it is a audible mistake. Technique 2:  3:52-4:46 In our brief, we stated in the Radio Programme that we wanted the listeners to imagine our characters in different areas and we would show this by the background noise when the dramatisation being out. In this time-coded scene, we wanted it to appear like the two characters were hanging out after school in the part; however, the noise we captured on the day was too blustery and windy and the listeners could be confused on where they are. I believe we could have recorded this audio on another day where we could capture...

Strength 1  0:06- 0:16 In this section of our radio Programme, we wanted to set an eerie tone to present to the listeners what is about to come. Our Radio Programme is a family friendly show, but however it may contain some disturbing content. To simulate a real radio Programme we gave a 'viewer distraction '  warning to the viewers like a real radio programme would if it were to contain distressing or sensitive content. We also put eerie music in this seen and used automation to fade it in and out to emphasise the mood.  Strength 2  0:20-1:34 In this scene, we used music to emphasise the mood of the scene. The music is: up-beat, chill and happy which gets the listeners invested into what's going on in the scene. As the main character is talking with her best friend, it shows how happy it makes her. However, to show things are getting serious: we stop the music when we want to grab the listener's attention. When 'Tinder' is mentioned (being a major plot point in...

 Convention 1  0:03-0:06 At the beginning of our radio programme, we started with a Jingle FX with fun engaging music to get the listener hooked into the next show that is going to be played. This also signifies that the radio programme is going to start alongside the "You are now listening to: Chadwell Heath Radio" telling the listener what radio station they are listening to. This is to make the station fun and memorable for listeners. Convention 2  10:08- 10:14 We had an on location interview about what they would do if they found someone struggling in a situation like the main character found herself in. You can hear the background noise of a kitchen; seemingly distracting but however it shows to the listeners that this is a genuine response from an interviewee that the producers went out to record. This is quite engaging to some listeners as the variety of different opinions may intrigue them as they would like to see what other people would think. Convention 3 ...

 

According to our feedback, many of the people who got back to us believed that the overall storyline was really engaging. Some said the plot was enjoyable and that it was easy to follow and was suitable for a Family audience which it was targeted towards. Some people enjoyed the twist at the end of the show saying that is was a good plot twist and subverted their expectations. One said that they believed that teenagers can relate and sympathise with the main character. The way we included additional information about getting help was a good incorporation into the Radio programme. However, some stated that some background noise on some of the audio was too distracting and felt out of place. For example, on one of the interviews there was too much background noise and was too loud. Some of the interviews felt like they had static too. To improve upon this, we could of asked this interview to record the interviews again so that there is no background noise and does not seem distracting....
