MINDMAP OF IDEAS
From researching different radio programmes, I decided that I was most inspired by "The Archers", a radio drama so therefore when mindmapping ideas that would fit into the genre.

TITLE OF SHOW
My show is going to be called "The School Pick-up". I chose this as the name of my programme as this links to the content which the narrative of my radio show is going to follow. The name is a play on words as "Pick-up" can be interpreted as just collecting the children but also growing a romance along the way.
TYPE OF PROGRAMME
The programme that I am creating is a radio drama, this is because after listening to different radio shows I found this sort of programme the most interesting and would like to create a radio programme which followed a narrative with voice actors rather than the likes of a breakfast show. Radio dramas have no visuals so there is much emphasis on the narrative, dialogue, music and sound effects chosen to be in the programme.
PROPOSED CONTENT
As my radio programme is going to be a drama, the proposed content will be the script or narrative for my radio show. The narrative of the programme is as follows. Rebecca and Lewis are teenagers who pick their siblings up from primary school each day, they do not know each other however this is to change as one day Rebecca is running late. She bumps into Lewis and then later sees him at the coffee shop that he works at which sparks something special between them. The radio drama will follow the growth of the relationship between these two characters and what they get up to. Will they end up together or be saved by the bell?. Real life events will be reflected within the episodes of the programme such as an episode which includes characters revising when it is around exam time so that my target audience will be able to relate to the characters within the show.
RUNNING ORDER
As my radio programme is a drama, the running order is to follow the story. There will be different scenes which hop between characters and follow the line of narrative.
SCHEDULING
My radio show is to be broadcasted every Wednesday at 5pm. I have chosen this time as it is when teenagers will have spare time to listen to my radio show. As it is a drama, each episode can be listen to instead of watching TV which is what most teens do in their spare time. My target audience will have returned home from school or college at this time and therefore I believe that tuning into the episode will provide them with a way to relax. After listening to one episode of my show, I feel that people will look forwards each week to listening as each episode will include the same characters but the plot will develop. The programme will also be available to be dowloaded as a podcast by Thurday morning as they are digital natives and will therefore be able to listen on the go.
LAUNCH DATE
The launch date of my radio drama will be the start of may. I have decided to choose this time as the programme could be a way of relieving my target audience from stress towards the end of the school year. I chose not to release my programme later as during summer people may be away so therefore they would not be able to tune into the episodes.
TARGET AUDIENCE
My radio drama will appeal to all ages as it could be said to be a family show however the target audience will be a teenage audience of 16-19 year olds are these are the people that will relate most to the content of each episode of the radio drama. A typical listener to my programme would be Ellie, she is a 17 year old female who is in her first year of sixth form. In her spare time she enjoys watching shows on Netflix such as Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars. She has an interest in shopping and boys, always enjoying herself and going out with friends.
KEY PERSONNEL
The key personnel within my radio show will be voice actors to narrate the voices of the characters within the radio show. I will pay a key part as script writer and editor and will also act as a foley artist recording audio of different everyday things which need to be included to strengthen the narrative of my show. As there is no visuals because my drama is on radio, the audio needs to be very strong to make the listeners imagine they are actually in the place which the characters are.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
When recording the audio for my radio show, health and safety for my actors is key. The recording studio needs to be made safe and precautions taken. I will make sure that all leads which are connected to things such as microphones are taped down so therefore they are not a tripping hazard. Drinks will not be allowed near any of the recording equipment to minimise accidents with my voice actors will take regular breaks in order to be able to perform to the best of their ability and not strain their voices.
AUDIO ASSETS
I will include sounds in my radio show which reflect those within the narrative of the script. When making my radio show I will have a folder of audio assets, some of these sounds will include a school bell, car horn and phone call. There will also be foley sound and bedding music.
FUNDING
As my radio drama is going to be on Sheffield Live! which is an independent radio station so therefore the show will not generate a profit. The money needed to create the radio show will be gained through funding which comes from grants which they get annually from organisations such as Ofcom as well as some money from adverts and sponsorships.
