Radio Trailer:

Are you sitting comfortably? Then we’ll begin.

Cathrine Cookson, A child called it, (VOXPOP)

So many people love getting lost in a book but why is it that reading has become less popular for the younger generation over the past few years?

Hope interview: ‘’i don’t really like reading...” (DOCUMENTARY)

Mr Morris – “fire up students’ imagination...” (DOCUMENTARY)

Would society be lost without books? Are computer games beginning to turn the nation’s youth into illiterates?

voice over scripts

Voice over

Voiceover 1:

Reading plays a huge part in changing the nation whether it is reading a novel or a poem in our spare time or reading for school. It seems that at a young age children enjoy reading and can’t get enough of it but there are concerns that nowadays teenagers do not enjoy reading as much and just see it as something they are made to do in school.

Voiceover 2:

Books have affected the way in which we see the world. Yet many people just take reading for granted. Does reading only mean something to the older generation? Do people take for granted having the ability to read? How does it feel for people who have difficulties learning to read? How do different people get taught how to read and how does this help them?

Editing


This is us editing on Premire Pro., we are editing what we want to go into the Ollie's interview, and what shouldn't go in the interview as well s the cutaways, you can see from hte two different screens.


This is us cutting and choosing our cutaways which go into our montage.

Whilst editing we decided that the cutaway of the Blindside, which you can see fading in the right screen was uneeded. This is deciding whether or not it worked.

Radio trailer is only audio so whilst edidint their was new visuals, in this screen shot we are adjusting the sound levels of the musicbed.
