Bex Holland

Part – Rose Riverton

Bex  was a first timer in a radio drama recording scenario. First starting off she was a little bit nervous however with talking to the director in the studio (Emma) she was able to take control and deliver her lines without problem. she was well suited to he character. She was also found to be strong delivering her dialog with other actor’s preforming with her.

Holly Rhodes

Part – Secretary Helen

I’m a hard working person, enthusiastic and very committed in everything I try. I am always willing to try out new things and to further my knowledge. I can be nervous at first but I soon ease into things. I have recently just past Level one British sign language, and I’m currently studying Level two. I hope you find the information you’re looking for on my profile, if you would like to know anything or have any question feel free to message me. (Star now, 2018)

Holly Did well with getting into the character of Helen, to start off she did find some words in the script difficult to say and had spoken to the team saying she was dyslexic. However when going over some lines a couple of times she manged to deliver most of her all of her lines well. When she was not thinking about it her dialog flowed well. Would recommend for other other drama and voice acting.

 Sam Beck

Part – School boy 1

Sam was very nerves when coming into the recording session and did struggle when trying to get into character and delivering the lines. after a couple of take Sam did get into it and started to improve. With recording his own voice to build abit more confidence to be in front of the microphone and not in the background but did well.

Chris Shepherdson

Part – Mr Smith and Head Master

With coming into the studio, first impressions where that Chris might be timid with recording and delivering the lines that where given but also how he was delivering lines for 2 characters that where alot older then his own voice range. When running through Chris calmed himself and thought about what he was able to do with playing his character’s. Mic went live and what hes did baffled the team and other actors. With using different ascents, the pitch of his voice he was able to delivery amazingly and surprise use.

Jess Wrightson

Part – School Girl 1

Jess showed confidence and took instruction well. She understood the role she was playing and was able to easily fit into it.

Her line where recorded on a phone due to timing and also not being able to book out the studio before leaving Lincoln to go home. With the quality not being fantastic then the other actors being recorded in a controlled space.

Budget/Billing

During the production phase of the drama we decided that we would try and keep our budget and costings to a minimum meaning that we advertised and casted the roles making sure to mention that is will be unpaid but we, as a team, were willing to pay for certain things such as food, drink and travel. We only needed the actors for one day of recorded which helped to minimalise the costing but on that day we made sure to supply the actors with bottled water and pay for their lunches (approx. £10 per person) when we took a break midway through the day. Alongside food and drink we also offered to pay £30 per person towards their travel and parking within Lincoln but we managed to sort out on site parking, free of cost, and as the actors we acquired did not have to travel very far they were okay with paying the travel expenses themselves without financial help with us.

Copyright

As our piece draws inspiration from the original 1938 radio broadcast of The War of The Worlds, an adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel of the same name we went into the creation of the project being vary wary of the piece breaching copyright laws.However, the original novel is no longer copyrighted due to production of our piece being over 70 years after the passing of the author meaning that any work of his is no longer protected under certain laws, so there are no issues with creating this drama if it were broadcast for the UK and this issue was looked into prior to this proposal. The problem that we still have to look at is that the copyright for the original War of the Worlds novel may still be in place in other countries and Siren Radio can be accessed worldwide through the online player.

Within our piece there is a large use of both sound effects and music in order to provide realism and atmosphere to the drama. As a whole all of the sound effects that have been used in the drama have been recorded by a member of the production team and those that were unable to be recorded were acquired from royalty free websites meaning that we were allowed to use them without having to get permission from the original creators. Alongside the sound effects, there were multiple instrumental pieces of music used within the drama which were all acquired from royalty free websites also meaning that they were free to use, did not require any permission also and were usable if the drama was to be aired on a radio station such as Siren FM or Brayford Radio.

Character Profiles

Name: Edward Riverton

Age: 45

His presence around the office is that of a strong and respectful man whom everyone looks up to. Whenever he enters a room people fall silent and admire him for what he has achieved with the business. Due to his success he has attracted the attention of some of the female staff who gossip and talk about him whenever he is not in earshot. Despite this obvious attention he pays little attention towards them as he is solely dedicated to his work and his daughter back at home. Due to what he has achieved his company is his life but if it came down to it, his teenaged daughter will always come first no matter the situation as she is the one who is always there and can see him for who he truly is.

Basic plot line:

His company starts to encounter interference from an outside force (a hacking group for this story) who are threatening to reveal highly classified documents containing details on shipments, employee files and upcoming projects and deals some of which are deemed highly illegal which in turn could cause jeopardy to himself and his company as well as those individuals and orginisations involed in the explicit deals. Although he does not know it, his daughter has overheard details surrounding some of these deals and she is also targeted by this group in order to provide blackmail leverage towards Edward.

Being the daughter of a successful defence secter business man, she comes under attack from the hacking group in order to provide leverage to blackmail her father for information. Throughout the story they take control of her social media presence and begin to ruin her schooling life in the hope that she will give it to their demands.

In the hope that they will provide help she attempts to contact the suicide helpline to which the hacking group have intercepted meaning that, not to Rose’s knowledge, she is in fact talking to the hackers rather than someone from the helpline.
