--> Clapping noises

--> Gun noise (bang)

--> C.K (Boss)

--> Ooh and Awwws

Script

The Script: 2012 Olympic Game

Eguano: Introduction

Tanjiana: Starts mumbling... the comes on air. Eguano's music fades out.

Good... welcome to the olympic games 2012. what a good day today and we are at the race, yes eguano you said it, the race nearly everyones been waiting for.

Eguano: Yes.... I couldn't wait to see the race. I was up all night trying to work out who would win.

Tanjiana: As you see eguano there are a lot of people waiting to see who is going to win the race as we speak now the line up is taking place. Silence all around the stadium. Some pretty good line up.

Eguano: Hmmm Yes

Tanjiana: So there are some strong runners here and some who have made dramatic progress from the last olympic games.

Eguano: They all look healthy, one or two have had an injury but made a good recovery so this race should be a close call.

Tanjiana: close call. ok... There getting ready, marks (the gun man), set.... go!

Tanjiana: There off.

Eguano: There off.

Tanjiana: Look at them.. Patterson

CHEERS ALL AROUND THE STADIUM (IN THE STUDIO)

Reece: Yes, I'm outside i can see what is happening i can not believe my eyes... Patterson is going slowly.... `Oh no Paterson has gone down!

BACK IN THE STUDIO (TANJIANA AND EGUANO): oooo's and ohhh's.. Tanjiana what a shame

Eguano: It's a pity! Reece what can you see down there as your closer.

Reece: Yes Patterson going.... Oh no Patterson is down!

Tanjiana: It looks like Patterson has clipped some ones heals! He's down...

Eguano: No he's not going to recover no way. It would be a miracle if he did.

Reece: Oh My Gosh it's a miracle. It looks like he's getting up. What he's off!

Eguano: If he wins the race i will... i don't know but i will do something....

Tanjiana: buy everyone a drink

Eguano: Yeah... laugh out loud

Reece: Oh I've never s......

Tanjiana: Totally speechless

Eguano: I'm definatly buying drinks

Reece: E's gone... unbelievable! can't believe me eyes (in a ghastly voice)

Scenario 2

My group has spoken upon themselves and have decided to change my script. I am now going to be the main focus in the task. I am the runner.

I walk over to my lane on the tracks. Whilst walking the commentators talk about me and compare me to another good runner and say who they think will win and how close we will come together in winning the race. The race begins and we all get ready for take off. In our set positions i get a cramp and start to feel a a bit weary about not winning and lose confidence. The gun shoots off and we all take off, the commentators start babbling on. Not even half way through the race, i get a pain and stumble to the ground, i have troubles breathing. Laying across two tracks, all i can think about is I have failed. The commentators are still babbling. I couldn't lose. I got up and I ran, ran for my life. I sprinted past the first, then the second, and before i knew it, i was in first place, all i could think about was winning, i didn't look back, just kept my paste. I could hear everyone screaming and cheering. Before i knew it i had won the race and i was there. I was the centre of attention. I had won the race. I dropped on the floor again, but this time was a sign of relief.

Scenario

Commentator:

In the script I am one of the commentators. A commentator plays the role of a narrator. I will be talking through the event, of the 2012, different sporting events.

First of all i will introduce the runners and discuss with the other commentator to whom i think will win and who will be in competition with each other.

- Courtnie

--> Runners

Unit 2- Team work 2

November 17th 2007

The ideas we have produced in our group in todays lesson:

--> people running around the track 1500 meters... 3 and 3/4 of a lap

-->Commentators

- 2 in the box

- 2 outside

--> clips the back of some ones leg

--> someone drops over and continues to win the race

--> two or three or even four are neck on neck trying to win the race

-then they crash in all together and they cant decide who won

BEGINNING:

--> At the track.. people walking to their positions

--> Introduce the runners

MIDDLE:

--> Commentators comment on the strongest and the weakest

--> One by one they comment on a runner but notices one is weaker than the rest

--> A runner stumbles

--> Lays there for 5 seconds

ENDING:

--> Gets up and runs

--> Wins the race

DIALOGUE

Unit 2- Team work

Radio play performance planning.

Reece

Eguano

Tanjiana

As a group we came up with a few ideas to do with our radio play:

>Christmas

>New Years party

>Carnival

>2012 Olympics

>Bomb fire night

>Halloween

>Easter

Out of the above we have chosen to do our radio play on 2012.

....2012

>London is going to be recognized globally

>Film (2012)

>Olympics

>Effect young peoples lives

>Loose businesses

2012 is quite an important year for the whole of London. I say this because of the Olympics, when the olympics come around it gives a vast majority of people jobs.

The film 2012 is about the world ending, so putting them both together i have come up with an idea, that when the olympics are starting the world comes to an end.

I have began to think about where i would like my music in this radio play, and i have decided it will be needed:

> At the beginning and the end

> Leading toward the Olympic 2012 ending, to make tension.

NEXT LESSON WE WILL BE PRODUCING OUT RADIO PLAY SCRIPT........

The Radio Play

The Radio Play.

What is radio play?

Radio Play is a story told on the radio.

Radio Plays are very popular on Radio 4.

Radio drama is a form of audio storytelling broadcast on radio. Radio drama depends on dialogue, music and sound effects to help the listener imagine the story.

Radio drama achieved widespread popularity within a decade of its initial development in the 1920s. By the 1940s, it was a leading international popular entertainment. With the advent of television in the 1950s, however, radio drama lost some of its popularity, and in some countries, had never regained large audiences. In the 50's they used transition circuits which can still be bought today. However, recordings of OTR (old-time radio) survive today in the audio archives of collectors and museums. Present.........

The Archers is a British soap opera broadcast on the BBC's Radio 4.With more than 16,000 episodes it is the both world's longest running radio soap and, since the axing of the American soap opera Guiding Light in September 2009, the longest running soap opera of all formats in the world. The Archers is the most listened to Radio 4 non-news programme, and holds the BBC Radio programme record for the number of times listened to over the internet, with over one million listeners.
