Amcanion cyffredinol
The aim of the module is to enable students with two years’ experience of radio production to further develop their skills in this area, focusing in particular on radio comedy, radio drama, podcasting and the development of programme ideas.
Cynnwys cwrs
In a series of hour-long lectures and weekly two-hour workshops, students will study examples of podcasts, radio comedy and radio drama, and develop their own ideas and productions in these areas. Various formats and genres within the three main areas will be discussed and various editorial considerations will be explored. Students will develop individual ideas in these three areas before focusing on one of these ideas and creating their own production. They will all be expected to pitch their ideas for their main production project in advance to the rest of the class.
