Introduction

Hello, welcome to Ben and I’s presentation for our audio media product which we have called ‘The Spooky Skeleton Squad’.

Slide 2

About

Now what is the spooky skeleton squad? Well it is a comedic fantasy adventure series which follows the lives of 3 skeletons who are named Arthur, Leanne and Dave.

It is set in a world called the Nether-Reaches which is a place filled with many frightening creatures and ridiculous characters. It is all presented in a silly, non-sensical tone. 

Slide 3

Now who is it for?

We aim this Amp at children from ages 9-16, as it features lots of surreal humour and adventurous storylines. Because of this our AMP fits into the Ofcom pre-watershed guidelines, which means, sexual references, profanity and drug usage will not be present in the product.

Slide 4

Schedule

Also because of our young target audience our amp will have a run time of 20 minutes, as we think this is a good time frame to fit in a good story and short enough to keep the attention of young people. We also wish for it to be broadcasted at 9am as this is a time when a lot of young people will be awake. Once being broadcasted we wish to make the AMP available for download so that anyone who misses it can catch up on the website.

Slide 5

Sound

Because we have created our own world and stories our AMP will require many sound effects as a substitute for visuals to help describe to our audience what is going on.

We also require the use of music to play in the background in order add emphasis to important scenes like a battle or introduction of a character.

In order for your to get feel of what our AMP may sound like we have created a short snippet of a scene where one of our protagonists meet a crazy old man in a cave.

All our sound effects will be sourced form royalty free websites and the addresses of websites we use will be mentioned at the end of the AMP.

Slide 6

Resources

To produce our AMP we will require the use of these resources:

Microphone, computer, and a Digital Audio Workstation.

Fortunately, we already own these resources at home and have no need to hire or rent equipment.

Slide 7

Finances

Because our AMP will be produced for Sheffield Live!, who are a community radio station, we have aimed to spend as little money as possible.

Our voice actors will be voluntary as they will be made up of friends and people I know.

As mentioned before, all necessary equipment and software is all ready covered and all sound effects and music will be royalty free.

and that’s that. Thank you for listening.
