    TREATMENT
    RADIO DRAMA
    BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE PLOT
    After having finally just about accepted her death, Jorge tries his best to move on with his life
    with his two children, Rita and jake. Daisy has died after a tragic kitchen related accident at the
    restaurant she managed. Everyone knew it was an accident. Jorge was unaware that his wife
    had read the letter. He was distraught when his wife died and had to care for his family alone.
    he had soon found the letter and read it aloud. This bringing to his attention that his wifes
    death was not really an accident.
    The story behind his wifes death is confined within a letter. Who the writer is addressing isnt noted,
    however orge instantly knows its his wife he is referring to. The writer explains to the reader that he
    has been selected out of everyone on earth to be eliminated in the name of both the forces of evil and
    good. By who exactly, it is not known. They are under the name the Reaper and the Reaper explains to
    Rita in the letter about their duties as a Reaper, how they hide in the crowd as every day people, and
    make the people they have to kill, look as if it happened by accident. He sends the letter as an
    explanation as to why they will meet their end and urge them to say goodbye to their loved ones. The
    Reaper knows where Rita lives and works. He tells the Rita that she cannot hide, she cannot run. she will
    be found every single time. Ita must have felt ,subjected to this order, and hopeless to do anything about

    it. The whole story takes place within the confines of the letter. The reaction or any other details about
    who the letter went to is unknown.

    LOCATION
    The home of the jaqes family. They live in central london, where the buzz of the city is what
    keeps Daisy so busy at work.
    It is common that accident happen all the time out in the city, which makes the letters reasoning
    even more plausible.
    When daisys accident occurs, Jorge is quick to accept it and move on, because the city is such a
    chaotic place, he never would have tried to investigate the accident for himself. But can he stop what
    is going on, is the true question.

    usre everything is running smoothy. When at home, she is checking her paperwork, and helping her
    husband with the children. When she receives the paper in the mail she initially thinks its a joke.

    Personality: jorge is a kind and caring father who is looking for a job now his wife has passed
    away. Jorge was unaware that his wife had read the letter. He was distraught when his wife
    died and had to care for his family alone. he had soon found the letter and read it aloud. This
    bringing to his attention that his wifes death was not really an accident.

    THE REAPER
    The reaper is employed by both God and Satan to keep the population of the world down. She and
    other reapers are dispatched to kill one person every day.
    The reaper itself seems to be a very polite person, and is described as looking like a regular
    human being. and treats the murders of the people more like business rather than a personal
    killing. He refuses to know the victims names because they feel it would be too personal
    otherwise.
    This attitude to killing his victims is almost more psychotic because despite being polite, he does
    not care for the person they will kill, and simply does it knowing the person having a life.

    NARRATIVE STRUCTURE - LINEAR / NON-LINEAR, SINGLE STAND, SERIAL ETC...


    The story is set in a non-linear narrative. This is because Jorge picks up the letter and is informed via
    flashbacks that his wifes death was not due to an accident like he had originally thought. This plot
    twist in the story will keep viewers interested because the story is not going how they has thought it
    would go. This series is not going to be a stand alone, and will have multiple episodes, in ach
    episode new victims will make themselves known and the mystery will unravel further.

    TARGET AUDIENCE - WHO WOULD LISTEN TO YOUR DRAMA AND WHERE WILL IT BE
    AIRED

    My target audience is teenagers. They are old enough to appreciate the simplicity of the story and the
    message that it communicates across, but young enough to still fully be interested in the horror
    genrea. Some adults are into more mature stories such as the slice of life and the romantic. But
    teenagers enjoy suspense and a good story ark involving such simple objects like a letter.

    I would like to have this story aired on online radio stations that feature similar works. There are
    horror radio stations on the internet such as http://www.horror-theatre.com/ this was I can reach
    my target audience the best because on the internet, a member of an audience can select what
    they want specifically from the internet. This way, I know my target audience will find my piece of
    work because they have come to the right radio station on the internet. This helps me isolate my
    target audience.

    ACTORS YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLAY YOUR CHARACTERS


    The main character will be played by Morgan pye to play Jorge. And I will be playing daisy. I have
    selected him to play that character because he will be easiest to reach in time for the recording. He is
    avalible to me through the Henley college.
    Morgan pye Age 18. Media student

    SOUNDS
    The sounds I will be using in my radio drama will start off with soft music to set the scene it is a
    royalty free song called on the chain by a musician called Myuuji.
    He is a Dark Music composer. Royalty-Free. ~ he makes Music for YouTubers, Filmmakers, Indie
    Developers and more. Genres: Horror Compositions, Piano, Orchestral Music, Film Scores
    His Business Contact is: music@myuu.de
    An example of his work is:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V1or2JQkNI
    Sound resources:
    www.Youtube.com for music
    https://freesound.org/ for sound effects

    I will be using this music because it has a very creepy sound to it, and will match perfectly with when
    the reader is faced with this mysterious letter, mainly due to the violins and the piano producing a
    very somber tone.

    according to this website it would cost me 33.82 an hour to hire voice actors. I would like to hire a
    studio for roughly 6 hours, that would be the right amount of time to fully record the actor to the best
    of their ability, and take several versions of it in a different tone, to be mixed correctly in the editing
    room.
    In total my production will cost :
    150 + 6X 33.82 which in total costs 352.92

    Statement of intent.
    The reason you should pick me to direct, produce and make this radio drama is because of my
    passion for the creepypasta genre. Ive always enjoyed the spooky stories that have been passed
    down the internet and through many peoples lives. I hope to release this story to the internet to
    have it also become an urban legend among the internet. I have been an avid reader of such stories
    since I was 13 years old. I have read both good and bad creepypastas and so I know what it takes to
    make a good one.

    THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY TREATMENT, AND I HOPE YOU CONSIDER
    INVESTING!
