Overview:
Students will be split into groups. Each group will be given a topic. For example, Group A - Internet service provider, Group B - Food/Restaurant, Group C - Alcoholic beverage.
Each group will produce a 45 second radio advert script.
The script has to contain two character dialogue voices and one Voice Over (VO). The script also has to encompass the sounds of atmospheres, foley, SFX and music. Each group will book and be allocated studio time to record a sourced voice-over artist and sourced character dialogue voices as a group. Individually students will then complete SFX, foley, atmospheres and music requirements and mix the production to broadcast standards.
