RADIO PRODUCTION

ASSESSMENT

Indicative content – Non-fiction audio
This is not an exhaustive list but indicates areas that students are likely to cover/include:

a concept and structure, that is appropriate to the radio feature and that would engage the target audience
appropriate language and register used throughout
use of different voices to create interest
use of diegetic and non-diegetic sound, including original dialogue, music and appropriate sound effects
acknowledgement of the media industry context

In the top bands, students may:

demonstrate a confident understanding of the convergent nature of contemporary media across tasks
use conventions from other genres alongside factual radio to explore a hybrid genre
include intertextual references
create complex or deliberately ambiguous representations though the use of audio and technical codes, to subvert the audience’s expectations
use media language to position the audience in relation to the people, situations and overall narrative included
convey values, attitudes and beliefs appropriate to the specified industry context.
