Radio Trailer Script

We have recently been given the task to create a radio trailer in order to promote our documentary.  I felt that this trailer should reflect the style that we have applied to throughout the production of our documentary. Therefore we made clear efforts in the script to create a funny and lighthearted tone that would apply to our audience. This is the first attempt that we made in creating a radio trailer script....

Scott: Video Games

Tom: But are they actually games!

Scott: Come on we’re on the radio here

Tom: Sorry Scotty why are we here?

Scott: We’re here to promote our new documentary who’s in controller on BBC 3 at 8:30 next Friday

Tom: Oh yeah, that really cool documentary we are both in about the influence of video games on anti-social behavior as well as other things

Scott: That’s the one!
Tom: Never heard of it

Scott: You’re in it

Tom: Am I

Scott: Oh forget it just play the clip Raymond

10 seconds of audio from documentary

Tom: Oh yeah I remember now!

Scott: Goodness me

Raymond: Don’t forget to watch the hit new documentary by the Doganson brothers this Friday 13^th at 8:30

Tom: You’d be a right plum to miss it!

Both myself and Tom recorded the voiceover  and uploaded it to the computer. After 10 minutes of editing and repeatedly listening, the group decided to change the script. We felt that the lines were trying to be too funny and we could create more effective piece that would get more to the point. I then took up the task of rewriting a script that was equally as light hearted, yet one that is more to the point and makes our intentions very clear. This is the new script.....

Scott: Video games are everywhere

Tom: They are taking over the world!

Scott: That’s right everyone is playing them

Tom: (Sarcastically) But Scott surely with thousands of children and adults playing videogames worldwide, the amount of time people spend with their friends socialising will be hugely effected?!

Scott: Well what an interesting point Tom! Maybe you should tell these lovely people to tune in our documentary “Who’s complaining about video gaming” on BBC 3 8:30 next Friday

Tom: Yeah that’s a good idea

(Pause)

Scott: Well go on then

Tom: what?

Scott: Tell them

Tom: Tell who?

Scott: The people, about our documentary

Tom: Never heard of it sorry

Scott: Uh just play the clip

(Clip)

Scott: Thats right ladies and gents remember to tune in next Friday at 8:30 on BB3 as we explore the dangerous effects that video games can have on society

Tom: That looks brilliant! I am definitely gonna tune into that

Scott: Tom you do realise your it don’t you?

Tom: Am I? Even better! We’ll see you next Friday at 8:30!

This is still a draft however and we may change the lines again in production
