This week we did the majority of our interviews for radio documentary. On Wednesday we had our meeting with Sue Taylor to discuss how far we were along with the project and whether or not we needed any more help. After this we headed up to the castle for our meeting with Laura, who plays the role of Priscilla Biggadike at the castle. As well as interviewing her about Priscilla, we also had her read some lines out for our radio drama side of the documentary.

After the interview we did the castles wall walk as it goes through where Priscilla Biggadike is buried, so when walking by we made sure we took some wildtrack.

On Friday we interviewed our historian, Jade Shepherd. This went really smoothly as she had done lots of research for us and came extra prepared.

This week the lecture was taken by Sue Taylor and taught us about all of the different ways of holding your voice so that it is acceptable for the situation or news that you are reading.

This week we had Paul Tyler as our guest lecture who taught us how to form and structure factual radio. Paul himself has done a range of factual based radio shows including Buried Treasure and Lincoln A-Z, so he was able to pass down what he had learnt from creating these shows to us. This really helped with our radio factual as he was able to show us alternative ways of showing content.

In our workshops we had individual time with our tutor to go through some of our script. In our group some of the rest of the group also helped each other by adding their opinions and how they thought we could improve in our work. In the seminar we looking into writing cues and scripts for our work.

We now have a basic script for our radio documentary, and things are coming along well.

This Wednesday was our show on St Davids Day, although everything has been done last minute I was really excited to go on air and thoroughly enjoyed the show.
