How does your work use cues within your radio drama, and what style of writing did you apply when creating your scripts?

When we began to draft out our script we wanted to keep it as casual as possible to make it sound more realistic so we slipped in slang and a few jokes so as not to make it as rigid and structured. I think as the characters were around our age and all girls it made it easier to write and act out. Also all three of us are good friends so it made the whole script flow easier and sound more realistic.

Our radio drama has a few different genres within it, as it has horror parts and also reality. It starts off as relating to teenagers going to university and then ends up with a twist of horror at the end. As it was an unknown horror we had to say certain things within the drama to give clues but still keep the horror aspect concealed until the end.

When writing the script we used cues to show where we needed pauses and sound effects, we inserted alot of sound effects into our drama such as car noises, walking and creaking doors. When writing this we put our cues in a red font and put them into brackets to make it easier to differntiate between the script and directions. This also made it alot easier when we were recording our drama because we could slowly see how it was going to be put together.
