The start of my radio play will start with the main character Emily talking to the audience with voices in the background of her past, this straight away establishes who the main character is and just a little insight of her past life. I want this to be the set up the radio play because she is the main focus throughout and the relationship between the audience and the character is important because they can understand what is going on. Throughout this scene I want to input some soft music to create more of an atmosphere to draw in the audience.
-After this scene there the same music will be put in place to show that the scene has moved on.
The development of the text will be that the audience is dropped into Emilys life at a bad time, where she has been kicked out of her flat and is now on the streets with her friend Jo. Throughout the text we can hear Emilys thoughts and we understand her life a more and more as the text goes on. We get introduced to two characters Jo and Daniel who are involved in the text a lot, they have an impact on Emilys life and what she does, we see the character of Emily change by the decisions she makes which will be getting involved in drugs, by doing this she has led her self astray and she cant do anything about it because she has become hooked and dependent on them. Each scene that is involved I want there to be a short clipping of music and a sound effect establishing the atmosphere of where the scene is based.
The climax of the text will be the effects of drugs and how it can damage a life and the audience will be able to see that young people may have the strength to deal with other things in life but sometimes not things like drugs and alcohol. The scene will involve a flash back of an argument with her parents before she got kicked out, she is having this flashback whilst being on the drugs and she ends up walking into the middle of the road and being hit by a car, all the audience will be able to here is the argument and then the car, then silence then back to the music.
In the text there is no resolution, the text will be left on a cliffhanger which will make the audience want to know what is going to happen next, I have decided to do this because it was based on a persons life and what she is telling us, I want the audience to get emotional attached to Emily and understand what she is feeling and what has happened, by leaving the story unanswered makes the audience want to ask questions and be more intrigued.
The end of the text will end in the soft music is started with.
The whole point of the text is to make awareness of homeless people and what can really happen to peoples lives without anyone knowing.
