The start of the radio drama.

So its been a while since the last post, but a lot has happened since then, I have now started working on a radio drama which is very exciting, we recently finished the proposal and have been looking for actors which hasn’t been going well, they are very hard to find!. We were given the task of creating a original radio drama based around a specific song or lyric, at first this was daunting due to the vast amount of music out there, but after several group meetings we finally came up with basing a story around the song Eminem Love Game, more specifically ‘She doesn’t love me no more, no she doesn’t love me’. We decided to create a murder mystery based around these lyrics and not reveal the killer in order to allow the audience to interact.

We are still in the early stages of the production but so far so good, we have actors sorted as well as time to record and edit the piece. I took the role of director for this as I thought I can bring something different to the table and put my own spin on things. Nathan took the role producer a role he has mentioned he’s done many times before on projects involving film/radio etc. and is so far a good team leader with a clear vision of where he wants the project to go on the logistical side and creative side. Ben took the role of BA which consisted of editing the audio aswell as giving advice on various sounds we could use, ben was crucial in the production as he was the one that found most of the actors.

The piece is still in its early stages as of yet, but we have the presentation next week and have been getting audio to show for this, I wont reveal the plot yet as i think it will be better for you to work out for yourself what happens in the piece when it is finished.
