Analyze the Codes and Conventions of Radio Drama

Narrative codes (Story)
Technical (SFX, voice-over, music)
Verbal (Dialogue)

Meaning (What’s going on)
Effect (How do you want the audience to feel about it)


Star Wars

Technical:
Announcer - Writer Credits, Director
Theme Tune (Title Music)
Sound Bridge (foreboding music - villains)
SFX:

  • Dialogue over intercoms
  • Low rumbling sound - engines
  • Swooping Engines
  • Electronic Beeping/Alarms
  • Explosions
Background Sound = ambience/wildtracks (hides the cuts)
Dialogue - Character names, volume to show proximity, don't overlap dialogue


  • Technology
  • Space
  • Alien Creatures
  • Futuristic
