Throughout this process, this blog has been used to organise research and planning work, to show how our radio drama is unique, and how it should and can be a very successful piece. I researched audiences that still listen to radio dramas nowadays, in order to work out a suitable target audience, and to identify a possible genre for our drama. The gaming element was one we thought would be very effective, in attracting a young audience, simply due to the fact that more young people play videogames. Could we have a piece that would once again get young people listening to the airwaves?
I utilised Facebook, placing an original poster prototype to get feedback. The responses were mainly positive, except for a few which stated that I needed to adjust some of my colour levels. This was simply resolved by adjusting the levels with Photoshop.
The photography was simple. I merely went out with a short brief of the photos I needed:
- Dark and Desolate - Wastelands - Nuclear war related
Overall I took around 7 or 8 photos, which I could then edit with Photoshop. Here are a few:
For the poster, and also to an extent, the feature, I needed to develop my skills with Photoshop, especially such as creating clouds in the background of images, to add to the mystery. I am however quite skilled with photoshop already, and was thus able to implement my ideas relatively easily. I did have some trouble with my feature spread though, making the polaroid picture. However, my team member Alex gave me some assistance in how to basically create it.
Overall, I utilised this blog to show my development, and progression. It has enabled me to show my original concepts, along with my improvements, to eventually create a very unique radio drama piece. I believe that the concept of a nuclear war will be very popular with a young audience too, and as such, it may attract more of these age groups to the airwaves once more.
