A radio drama produced in weekly installments by students from Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada, Bedfordshire University in England, and RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Subscribe to our podcast to catch every episode!
In general I thought the story was interesting since we were hinted that there is a potential villain amongst the group. The outdoor ambience bed helped in setting the atmosphere. I felt that the voiceovers in the beginning could be processed differently to better define those that were speaking to the radio vs. those that were carrying out a normal conversation. Jack’s voiceovers were done well as it was successful in giving him a distinct personality.
Leading into the phone call, the mix seemed a bit weird because it was not instantly clear to the audience that we were hearing Puja through the phone. If there was some kind of EQ done to her voice and have changed the background ambience, it would help in achieving the changed in atmospheres.
When the scene went back to the original group, I realized that the outdoor ambience was no longer there. It was not that noticeable at first but afterwards it seemed like something was different. It was an awkward lead into Simon Cowell’s recordings. It seemed like they were from several clips since the voices were all different and it became confusing because they sounded like it was a conversation between two people.
Overall the effects were well used and the idea was not bad.
From a writing stand point, you didn't really advance the story. We opened it up for you, yet you didn't really do anything with it. We were confused at several points in this piece as to what was going on, such as when Simon Cowell appeared and when there was a Helicopter Crashing. For Production, I mainly wondered why there was white noise used as a form of music bed for the majority of the piece. As well, there wasn't much to the prodction other than voice processing.
