Target Audience


For each drama you will need to produce the following:

Task 3: A Mind Map of your Ideas

Task 4: 2 x Proposals briefly stating different ways of presenting your drama; including ideas on narrative, sound fx, locations, characters, music beds etc...

Example:

My drama will be single strand, it will also be sequential as it will begin at equilibrium, then there will be the disruption, and then a resolution. The voices in my drama will generally be quite informal, as my drama will be aimed at working to middle class audiences. Also, because the drama’s primary target audience is children, the language will be tame and simple to make sure it easy to understand and does not get confusing, I will also include a narrator to help set the scene and help listeners to follow what is going on. Post-production I will hold informal auditions for the voices of each character.

Task 5: 2 treatments based on your proposals using as much relevant media language as possible.
