Scenarios

here we go yo here we go yo
so what’s the what’s the what’s the scenario?

Sketch a radio scenario: a dramatic concept for a single radio broadcast. This sketch should set the scene and the overall concept for the broadcast, setting it up in space and time. You can think of the scenario as a something fictional (“suburban punk improvises angsty monologues about teenage life and why school sucks”) or something more straightforward (“interviews with custodial staff about their jobs”). 

1: Write a couple paragraphs developing the scenario. Print the scenario and bring it to class. This exercise is just meant to just get a bunch of different ideas on the table as we begin to more concretely imagine and plan our radio work in the building. 

2: Revise your sketch or add some paragraphs in which you develop it further by addressing practical details of its execution. Think through how, precisely, you will solicit input (if that’s part of your concept). How long will the transmission be? Who will make it? Where? etc. By working through these and other pragmatic details, how does your concept evolve or shift?

3. Name your scenario.
