a) What was challenging about writing a script?

The challenge about writing a script for a radio is that you have to remember the audience listening can not see anything you are doing, you can not write the script as though you have actions to do. You have to make sure everything flows and is clear because you cannot depend on your body to help you out like you would if you were on TV, because if you wanted the solution to resolve around something a character did you would be in the wrong type of show buisness. It was difficult to write a script because since there was only people, one person shouldn’t have a much larger role than the other so you had to balance out the roles properly.

b) Do you enjoy working with a partner? What were the benefits and the challenges?

Some of the benefits I encounterewhile working with a partner was how you had two sets of brains to work with, and two sets of eyes to make sure everything is okay and is heading in the right direction. It was much easier to come up with an idea to do for our radio broadcast because we were able to work off of each others idea and benefit off of that.

Some of the challenges while working with a partner were how you needed to depend on someone else to do the work as well, you could not just start doing the entire thing by yourself when you wanted to because that would not be failr to your partner and they could not working on it by their self because since it’s a group project you have to help each other and work hard together.

c) Comment on two things that you felt you did well in your broadcast and one element that you could have improved.

I thought my group did a pretty good job with the sound effects and putting them in the right spots to most benefit and enhance the performance. Also I thought that the questions we were asking each other sounded quite comparable to how a real interview which was similar would play out.

Two things I feel my group could have improved on was our vocal expressions, I felt both me and my partner could have acted more exited in certain points or outgoing.

Another thing that we should have started working right away as appose to a few days later because we might have come out with a better idea or plot.
