115

Joseph Bartlett

SETTING & PLOT

115 is set in the WW2 period where the war has taken an apocalyptic turn
into a world of undead beings. The chemical Ununpentium, known as chemical
115, has been battled for in secret behind the chaos of the war. However, upon
excavating in search of the veins and experimenting the chemical on soldiers,
a zombie outbreak has begun. However, upon excavating in search of the
veins and experimenting the with the chemical on soldiers, a zombie outbreak
has begun. Two British soldiers fight their way through the chaos, seeking radio
transmissions and trying to uncover what has happened.

SETTING & PLOT

Two British soldiers fight their way through the chaos, seeking radio
transmissions and trying to uncover what has happened. 115 is a single-play
drama as it is a one off filling in a backstory behind the Nazi zombies storyline
of the game Call of Duty. It is a single play drama because it features multiple
scenes in just one large act as there are only two characters. The genre of the
radio drama is horror. This is because it contains elements of threat and
frightening moments. It is set in a zombie apocalypse. The drama will end on a
cliff hanger and the final goal will not be achieved.

COMPARISON
I feel that my radio drama is unique in that there arent really any others like it.
This is because the idea is drawn from a video game. However there any many
radio dramas that it can relate to such as Undead End and Aftermath as they
are based in a post-apocalyptic world featuring zombies.

SOUND
Creating my own radio drama in a world of undead soldiers seemed appealing
because the possibilities are limitless unlike creating a film. Leaving the
audience to their own imagination can be a lot more exciting and darker in this
case because you do not have to focus on what they see on the screen such as
visual effects and blood, you get to toy with their imagination by being creative
with diegetic and non-diegetic sounds. The soundscape I will create will mimic
that of a battlefield that has gone into silence as well as incorporating zombie
sounds, weaponry, windy ambience and musical tension.

The narrative structure of 115 is linear as it follows the two characters William
and Michael through their wasteland adventure. It features radio broadcasts
received from another group stuck in the same mess they are. The location of
where the drama takes place is on a battlefield in Japan.
