In our Radio Programme, we decided to cover topics of mental health and real world problems and show how a regular person (like the audience themselves, in this case a young teenage girl) can get into a situation like this and what to do and how you can get help. The Radio show is a dramatization with an educational aspect to it describing what catfishing is and what will typically happen in a situation like this. The Radio Programme also gives interviews to the listeners from regular people asking what they would do in a situation like this. To smoothly transition to each scene, we used sound effects and different types of music so that the listener knows that they are moving onto a different section of the show. We also attempted to use music to convey the mood in that current situation, which I b

 

 

 We are using a variety of licensed music in our Radio programme that we do not own the rights to. So it can be aired live on air, we will need to get a grant so we are able to use these pieces of music freely in our radio programme without getting into any legal channel to pay for the licensing for all of the music.

These companies can also promote our radio programme as an example of a situation a young person may find themselves in and what will happen if a child is found out to be abused and what do do in

As this is being aimed at a family radio show, we will have to tone down some material on the show

  Feedback #1- Qasim  "Overall, it’s very good. The acting is pretty good and the sound effects are, too." The voice audio seems too quiet at times in relation to the sounds, though Feedback #2-  Tadas Liked the story and the themes. Some background noise on the audio was distracting. Feedback #3- John Informative. (documentary part) Some parts were too quiet. From our feedback, we discovered our strengths in the draft of our radio programme was the general story, themes and the acting. People thought it was engaging and got them drawn into the story. One also commented that our documentary section of the Radio Programme was very informative and believed it could well educate people about the dangers online and where to go for help.
