3. TITLE/SYNOPSIS
‘Our Love Will Never Die’ I feel fits well with the plot and the ending of the story. Giving a brief insight into the story.
This drama involves two characters in love who are fighting a battle in order to keep their family together. With the husband diagnosed with cancer this is proven to be difficult. Our love will never die follows the story of this couple.

4. FORMAT
Single drama – these tend to be a re-enactment of real life events. Often these sorts of events would be television broadcasted rather than the cinema audience.
30 minute long episode

6. NARRATIVE STRUCTURE
Genre: Romantic drama, my drama fits well to this as the main focus is two people’s love between one another.
Non-linear, realist: I am incorporating flashback in my drama making it follow a non-linear structure. I feel flashbacks give a real sense of emotion and add depth to the story as we see the end at the start.
The realist plot I hope will make it easy for the audience to not only follow but somewhat relate to.

7. NARRATIVE STRUCTURE

8. TARGET AUDIENCE Similar to BBC Radio 4 & 2
All age groups and gender above 30/35, interested in relist plots
For example: THE ARCHERS, aired on BBC Radio 4

9. TARGET AUDIENCE
Romantic drama therefore expectations would be: a problem in the relationship that needs to be over come, a long history between the couple, characters that are relatable as it is a relatable issue.
My characters are everyday people who I feel will connect with the audience

10. ACTORS Louise: Danni Sanger Mathew: Ruairidh Jonston
I have pick these people to portray the roles as I feel they would put the right amount of emotion and depth into the characters. As well as become connected to them in order to make give off the right impression.

11. SOUND EFFECTS Due to realist plot I don’t need wacky sound effects.
Simple everyday sound effects: door closing, feet walking, street noises etc.

12. BUDGET 1 hour in studio - £20,000
5 minute snippet - £10,000 (30 minutes in studio)
Actors- £1000 per actor x2

13. INSPIRATION THE BLIND MAN’S CONFESSION: Incorporates flashback
Despite the fact it is post-modern and mine is traditional I feel this technique could work well in a traditional as it adds depth.

14. WHY MY DRAMA?
With the right funding my drama can be successful in showing an accurate portrayal of life in this circumstance. Our Love Will Never Die will achieve in reaching out to the target audience therefore attracting the correct demographic boosting listener ratings.
