Radio Report Script 5

Here's the new edition:

***

Non-diagetic radio report interruption
Constant underlining beat throughout report

Hi this is Julie Noted keeping you up-to-date with “Your London’s” 60 second on the hour News, Travel and Weather bulletin.

We have received reports from the Camden Town area of North London, of a young girl who appears to be in distress. She is described as possibly in her early teens, with long blond hair, clothed in a ripped white t-shirt and ripped denim jeans, both reportedly blood-stained. Further reports describe marks across her face; these may be abrasions or bruising.

If you believe you have seen this girl, please do not hesitate to report any sighting immediately to your local Police Station or Your London. We’ll update you with a full report in tonight’s main News hour.

Fading out of constant beat and radio report

For Travel, both tube lines and bus routes are running well throughout London, we have no reports of any major congestion on any of the main lines or routes.

The rain is continuing to develop during this evening and this night, turning into heavy downpours. The Met office has issued a yellow warning for rainfall totals to increase across London and the South East of England.

That’s all for now, thanks for tuning into “Your London”

There have been allot of changes made to the previous draft. I wanted to make it seem as though a listener had just tuned into the radio and make the introduction short and sweet, as it is supposed to replicate a 60 second news bulletin.

As my name would be used in the titles, I wanted to keep the continuity of the sequence correct, so I couldn't use my name otherwise the fictitious illusion would be broken. I used the name Julie Noted because it is a play on words - duly noted - I wanted to make the presenters name fit her job.

We changed the radio's name from 'Lookout Radio' to 'Your London' because it would contradict with our company name and 'Your London' helps establish the location of the film. The 'Your' also reflects that the radio appreciate a personal and trusting relationship with their listeners, as it expects it's listeners to tune in on a regular basis via the 'on the hour'. The 'London' also establishes the location of the broadcast.

The 'up-to-date' section is similar to what real radio's do because they want their listeners to remained tuned in to maintain or grow their readership. Also, by saying it's 'on the hour', it suggests that the radio keep the public 'up-to-date' and want to inform them - it's what news updates do and it replicates how regular they can be. I kept the previous details and description but added the 'News, Travel and Weather' to make it a more believable report.

I included editing directions to make it clear for Patrycja with what words should be used.
