Week 1 - PRODUCTION DIARY

(week 1 and weeks prior to physical production of radio drama)

Group sat down together and physically brainstormed what ideas we had towards the radio drama. We came to the conclusion that doing a Horror or Thriller genre would make it easier to finds more imaginative ideas.

We as a group decided to produce a pschychotic tragic thriller; we came up with main characters as well as the minor characters but didn’t feel it was necessary to have too many people involved in the story. We also able to decide on certain technical details which would help structure the story and make it more interesting for the listener to follow.
Based on the rough idea of the story(which pretty much consists of a man from the main character’s past, who’s obsession with her begins with stalking ad general scary intervals, then ends up finishing with a couple of gruesome murders.
Elements that were included to make sure the it reverted directly back to it’s genre were as follows:
A twist in the plot line that revealed a red herring as the murder
A metaphor for the killer’s identity which was mirrored within an element of the story
A relationship between the victim and main victim killer a


Our group looked over the initial ideas for the previous week and refined everything in order to begin working on the script. The overall storyline was prepared, and as a group we were able to come up with the very specific detailed ideas for example, an emotional monologue spoken by one of the characters in the very beginning. Next week we hope to bring each ideas to the table towards dialogue for the script.
