Lets get it started: TAKE 1!

At our first meeting we reviewed our mind maps and decided that we would like to base our radio drama on a horror. We decided on this because of the previous radio dramas we had studies as a group which we found to be more engaging and realistic as it triggered our imagination into action.

But after listing all the possibilities of plots and story lines we found it too easy and decided an intelligent group of girls like ourselves can storm up something much more creative and relevant to this day and age.

We thought it would be easier to firstly decide on a target audience and from there list what genres would work. Our radio drama is to be aimed at young people- teenagers to mid 20's. We now know that the drama must be new, fun and exciting as well as relevant to today's society. We live in a modern age where radio isn't the only means of entertainment therefore whatever storyline we decide on has to be extremely interesting, empathetic as well as unique and most importantly realistic to our target audience.

As females we believe it would be easier to create a storyline we can relate to so we aimed our radio drama at females which is a god change as radio drama's we have studied previous to this have all been male orientated a good example of this is War of the worlds and the hitch hikers guide to Galaxy.

After a lot of discussion we came up with a story line based around a fashion show and two rival women fighting for success in the fashion industry. This represents females as successful business minded individuals instead of naive and needy.
