titles the texts at the beginning (or end) of a film etc. Explanation: That tell you the name of the film, who stars in it, the director, producer, etc. But are you sure this is a RADIO play? The use of the term V/O is slightly odd for a radio play, as it usually specifically refers to a narration over piictures. Also, of course, a radio play wouldn't have visual titles at all — though it might have, for example, a signature tune and even sometimes (particularly in the olden days) a spoken title. |

title the opening sequence (of a radio play/drama) Explanation: If this is it...see example: The opening sequence of a radio drama introduces the audience to the location and major characters of the program. This introduction is normally made by the announcer with assistance from the Sound Effects and Music Departments. Below is Gunsmoke's opening in standard radio script format. SOUND: HORSE FADES ON TO FULL MIKE -- SINGLE SHOT -- RICHOCHET MUSIC: UP AND UNDER -- RECORDED -- CUT 1 ANNOUNCER: Around Dodge City and in the territory on west -- there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers -- and that's with a U.S. Marshall and the smell of "GUNSMOKE"! MUSIC: THEME HITS: FULL BROAD SWEEP AND UNDER -- RECORDED -- CUT 2 ANNOUNCER: "GUNSMOKE" starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that moved west with young America -- and the story of a man who moved with it. (MUSIC: OUT) MATT: I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall -- the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancy job -- and it makes a man watchful...and a little lonely. MUSIC: MAIN TITLE -- RECORDED -- CUT 3 http://www3.northern.edu/wild/th100/gnsmoke.htm#opening -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2015-02-03 23:53:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- also, explanation for other entries in the script can be found here: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/scripts/bbcradioscene... |
