Mini Assignment #2: Audio Script |
|||||||||||||||
The Assignment On almost all occasions when you need to use the spoken word, you will be integrating those words with other, complementary elements (other sound, images, texts, animations, etc.). This assignment should help you to balance spoken word that carries a narrative line (via a narrator or commentator) with ancillary material that enriches the spoken work. Objectives of the assignment:
What you need to do 1) Choose the subject of your feature after reading/listening to the interviews linked below. 2) Decide on the theme you are going to follow in the feature (you don't have time to include everything your subject discussed in such a short piece so you must concentrate on one angle). Then identify your hook, the one idea that will capture your audience's attention and drag it into your report. Note your theme and your hook before you begin your script. 3) Using the traditional radio script format we discussed in class, write your script as if your feature were going to be broadcast on either NPR's All Things Considered or on a commercial radio station that carries shorter news broadcasts and bulletins. 4) Write the script for your own voice, as if you were going to be the reporter/commentator recording it for transmission. 5) Include with your assignment two paragraphs in which you identify which competencies you applied to the execution of this assignment. Why were those competencies important? To what extent did this assignment improve your fluency in a particular competency? Potential subjects
