A woman named Zarrah Malone receives a mysterious phone call from a blocked number instructing her to rob the company she works for, Mango Inc., which has overtaken Apple. She is given seven tasks to complete by midnight or she and her loved ones will die. The document then provides backgrounds on Zarrah and several other characters involved, including her boss Rampage Jackson. It outlines the storyline of Zarrah being promoted and then threatened, and provides a budget and details on the intended target audience for a radio drama based on this story.
2. BLURB
Imagine one day you answer a blocked number, in which they ask you to
rob the company you know and love so much. Zarrah Malone (a 27 year
old women who grew up in New York and worked her way from the
bottom of the Mango Inc. Which is a Company, which rivalled and took
over the beloved Apple Inc. company in the future) is called by a
mysterious and duped voice, telling her to complete seven tasks in order
to successfully rob the company in billions. And there is no way she
could back out as the voice warns her that if she calls the police or
doesn’t complete the tasks on time, she and all her beloved ones will die.
7. STATEMENT OF INTENT
The themes of my radio drama are crime, mystery and murder, these
are themes that I know very well as, I have an interest in them and
most books and film I have read in the past have consisted of these
themes. I also believe that I am perfect for writing this radio drama
because I have had this idea for a very long time and have even
prepared a script for it in the past, so I know it very well. I know
that I want it to be very exciting by not giving it a linear stricter and
adding flashbacks and narration. I also want it to be very thrilling
and exciting for the audience and I want it to leave theme thinking
and dazzled by the cliff-hanger ending of it.
8. STORYLINE
Zarrah is having coffee with her Angelika on a normal Monday
morning, when a receptionist comes and tells her to go to Mr
Jacksons Office, she walks into the office and he tells her she is
promoted to level 8. She moves her belonging to her new office and
then realizes that her office is really silent (no phone calls). She
then notices that she is the only person left on her floor and just as
she is about to leave she receives and phone call from an unknown
caller. The phone call tells her that she has until midnight to
successfully rob seven billion dollars from the mango company and
failing to do so, will result to a brutal death of her and her family.
10. TARGET AUDIENCE
AGE: 15 – 28
(Individuals younger would find the radio drama too complex and individuals
older might not appreciate the action packed thriller like theme of the narrative).
GENDER: BOTH
(both audiences would enjoy the story although its mainly male audiences that
enjoy this genre).
ETHNICITY : ALL
(A person’s ethnicity isn’t a factor when categorising my target audience).
STEREOTYPING: STUDENTS AND WORKING INDIVIDUALS
The stereotype of my target audience are students and working individuals, these
people are generally busy, and have a daily routine (9 to 5), so I would take this in
consideration when deciding the time slot for my radio drama
SOCIO-ECONOMIC GROUP: E, (C1/C2)
Due to the fact that majority of my audience would be students and individuals
from group (E) and both (C1/C2) this would make my radio drama appeal to the
middle class.
