There are so many techniques used in radio to create sound effects and to show someone walking away or walking towards someone. In radio it’s hard to get the right sound like the sound of people driving in a car as or a bird. When that don’t work you try something that might sound like it. In the archers for example they open and close and iron board to make the sound of a metal gate opening and closing. For a bird flying past they use a feathered pillow and for a baby lamb being born it only takes a wet towel, old audio and bowl of yogurt to create that sound affect.
We have a few sounds affects in our play like the sound of a shower, people walking in the forest which needs to be added in. We’re not actually making these sound affects ourselves but if we were I’d use a sand shaker for the shower and just break some twigs for the forest. Things like walking towards someone or walking away we can do by just simply walking to and from the microphone.

The lady reading this poem is not using and sound effects but using a soft toned voice due to the context of the poem. She is elongating some of her 's' sounds and really making the 'b and p' sound boom on the mic. Great articulation and diction, the pace goes really well with the delivery. If it was to be put on a channel I think it would be a morning or day material. I think the quality of the script is okay but I personal wouldn't listen to it due to what the poem is about and I think the audience goes out to mothers or people 26+. Even though it is a poem, the women did use a different tone when talking about different voices. I was convinced she can relate to this poem due to the emotion in her voice and tone. I would give the poem a 3 overall just due to the fact it's not something I would listen to but I think it was delivered appropriately.

The music gave the scenes a funnier affect because this play sounded as if it's taking the mic of adventure movies or TV shows. For example at the beginning there was a kinda serious and adventurous music over what the guy was saying and it made it seem more serious compared to what he was actually saying. I think the episode is really affective, the comedy is based on silly humour and it's definitely funny. I think due to some of the comedy being for adults the appropriate time to be on would be in the evening around half 7. I think the quality of the script is okay but some of the jokes are really stupid and I think they could of been funnier. The music and animal sound effects mainly holds my interest because I'm not one for silly stupid humour. The relationships between characters is fully realised from the way they talk about each on another and too one another, the tone and sometimes awkward silence makes it very clear. I found it very convincing and could actually imagine them going on their quest, it was all really clear. I think it was definitely creating the right atmosphere and the audience seemed to love it. I think the vocal quality was appropriate to their characters. Overall I would give it a 4 because it definitely was funny and the characters showed very well.

Great sound affects with what was going on like when the cat was having a nightmare, you could tell by the sound affects it wasn't anything pleasant. The music also gave it some great affect to add tension to whatever was happening with the cat. Would be a day time advert as it's for Sainsbury's and I think when the lady is speaking the quality of the script is okay but this once is based more on the actions within when watching. The music and sound affects definitely had me interested because it really drew me in and made it sound so intense and adventurous which I like. When the lady was talking narrating the relationship between the cat and it's family and neighbourhood was clear. His owner which is the little girl obviously loves him very much. I think the atmosphere was very based around families and that was probably because it's about a supermarket. I think the vocal quality was appropriate to what the advert was about. Very soft and sweet to draw people who are sat on their sofa's in. Overall I would give it a 3 because it's more a advert that you need to watch then one to listen to as the story isn't very clear otherwise.
