How to write a radio play

http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Radio-Play

I found this link whilst browsing the internet, i was finding it quite hard to write my script because of the fact that it is all audio and there is no visual effects used. This gave a step by step guide of how to do it and it helped me include everything that i needed within my play.

Research for 'I Do'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kat_Moon

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfie_Moon
The links above are to characters kat moon  + alfie moon from eastenders, i feel that these two show a very strong and positive relationship. Although there personality may be a bit different to my two characters i like the bond that they have and how there relationship is quite comical and shes not afraid to give him a good telling off. This is something that i want to put across within my two characters.

Characterisation for 'I Do'

Above is a link to a character from coronation street, i decided to look at the character profile for him because i feel that he is like the sort of personality that i want to show with the main man in my play. My character is very loud and boystrous and a very masculine man and this is the personality that jason portays in his character in coronation street.

Above is a link to a character profile of maria connor from coronation street. I have looked at her to create my character because i feel that her personality is one that will match the personality i am builiding in my main woman character. I want her to be friendly and happy go lucky but also have that strong side about her and shes not afraid to say what she thinks.

Further Reseach into 'I Do?'

'Double Income, No Kids Yet'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0072v4g
The link above is a radio play shown on BBC 7 called 'Double Income, No Kids Yet' - i looked at this because its a comedy, however whilst listening i really liked the way they had used sound techniques. Within mine i am going to use a phone call and it was done in this play really well so im going to get my inspiration from this to make it sound as realistic as possible.
