Ancillary Task: Radio Advert with script

Below is the script my group and I are using for our first ancillary task. The first task consists of making a radio trailer/advert for our Documentary. We thought we'd take it upon ourselves to make a script for the radio advert in order to make it easier when recording for the advert itself. What the main topic is regarding the radio advert is to find out why participation in sport has dropped over the years.

What our radio advert includes is four interviewees giving their opinions on children participating in sport nowadays. Which is the main focus within our Documentary, 'to find out why participation in sport has decreased over the years.'

The first interviewee states, 'Back in my day, kids didn't have video games.' What they mean by this is they also agree that participation in sport has declined over the years and are expressing their opinion by saying children didn't have video games in their day. They are saying that the reason participation has dropped in sport is because of the increase in technology these days and that kids would rather play video games than participate in sports.

The second interviewee mentions, 'My son plays football every week, he loves the sport.' This individual is the only one that disagrees with the idea that participation has decreased and uses the example that there son plays football weekly, which is suggesting that participation in sport hasn't declined over the years.

The third interviewee says, 'Kids just don't seem to be interested in sports these days.' This person always agrees that participation within sport has dropped off over the years. They argue that many kids these days have lost the interest to play sport. Which suggests that there are many factors as to why kids aren't interested in sport these days.

The fourth and last interviewee adds, 'I think we should aim to get children more involved in sport.' This individual also agrees that participation in sport has decreased but is the only one that suggests that we should take action and try to get them involved. This suggests that they wan't to keep children playing sport and to keep healthy.

Down below is the final version of my radio advert:

What I have learnt from this is how to prepare making a radio advert and the different elements that go into making one. By creating a script in preparation for making the ad, it allowed my group and I to get a better understanding of what to include in the advert and the different things we should mention such as listing the main point of the advert (Why participation in sports has dropped) and also mentioning a website where the people watching/listening to the ad can give their opinions. What I have also learnt from this is how to produce a radio advert from scratch which will benefit me when it comes to making my final product.
