Aims and objectives

This unit aims to examine how audio techniques are used to create both short and extended radio/audio features. It teaches students to be professional creative storytellers through the use of advanced audio narrative techniques with an understanding of audience and platform requirements.

Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
1. Evaluate and demonstrate understanding of the professional demands placed on radio (and podcast) content producers.
2. Critically analyse long form radio features to evaluate how production and narrative techniques form a cohesive package for audiences.
3. Apply critical research analysis of the ways audio storytelling constructs and conveys meaning to short and long form story telling techniques.
4. Develop and demonstrate research skills which can be used in combination with advanced audio production techniques to produce researched soundscapes, complex interviews and audio features.
5. Research, develop and facilitate narrative, story and plot ideas for short and extended radio and podcast features.
