Top of the scene (directing, scripting, acting, technical)
|
You have to do some special work at the beginning of the radio drama scene - rather like television and film's location shot. Signposting - technique
for establishing the location at the beginning of a scene ESTABLISH LOCATION FOR SCENE Establish atmos for the scene (unless neutral atmos). Establish key FX - location identifier (if needed) - as seagull, rain, factory hooter, traffic, cathedral bells, crowd talking or shouting. Description (see below) is nearly always needed to twin with signposting. Description - added words in the dialogue to fill in what is 'blind' for the listener It is mostly of physical details, facial expressions, gestures
and bodily action, and also of the location. Description needs
to be so skilfully scripted that it is not obtrusive.
