LO 4: Sample Script for Steel Reel
Example Script
We wrote a section of script from our pilot episode. There will be sentences that we will plan to say during a show, but generally the show will be unscripted while we discuss and review films. The general theme of the episode is our top picks of the best films from the last year and also a feature on the local film scene

Hi, I'm Lewis;I'm with my fellow hosts Jake and Harry and
this is our brand new podcast dedicated to the world of film, The Steel Reel
Podcast.
In the show we will review, talk about and discuss the film industry in general as well as have our own special “Steel Reel countdown” of our top 10 favourite films of 2014. |
|
But first
(PLAYS Pulp fiction theme)

(10 seconds into song, volume reduces)
Lets take a look at updates on the local film scene. As some of you may know, Sheffield plays host to the annual DocFest, drawing in crowds of thousands from critics to renown acting talent. |
|
Michael Palin is set to make an appearing, hosting a Q&A following a film screening of The Meaning of Live, documentary featuring the 5 remaining cast members of the uproariously funny, Monty Python who reflect on their live shows of 2014.
|
|
The screening and Q&A will take place at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre on Wednesday, June 10. For tickets, priced £15, see sheffdocfest.com
Moving on, lets get straight on with the Lad's top 10 pick of the best of 2014; Jake what was you film of 2014? |
|
Over the last year, I think I've seen some of the greatest movies of this decade; an absolute highlight was Brad Pitt’s Fury it had Oscar worthy performances.
|
|
I missed Fury, but all I've heard are great things about it. My film of 2014 just had to be X-MEN Days Of Future Past. Followed closely by Guardians Of The Galaxy and Captain America: The Winter Soldier
|
|
I really enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy as well as The Babadook, I believe the film has revolutionized horror films and definitely raised the bar for future horror
films to come.
|
9.Jake
|
You would not catch me watching anything like that! Just the trailer left me cowering for days. (ALL Laugh) Okay, so Harry; what made X-MEN your film of the year?
|
10.Harry:
|
I liked
it because of the subtle mixes of tension and comedy, something they seem to be doing a lot these days with big blockbuster action and hero films. When it's done right it makes for a great film an I think they pulled it off perfectly; Days of Future Past had some real top notch acting.
|
11.Lewis:
|
Yes. I
agree, the only downfall for me was the look of the Sentinels; but the
costume and make-up as well as the graphics were top notch
|
12.Jake
|
Oh yeah! Jennifer Lawrence's character Mystique has never looked better. Makeup and costume on this production has really been quite exceptional.

Feedback and Feedforward for Practice Presentation
Review
By using this feedback, we will be able to better prepare for our final presentation. Generally, we just need to enhance the detail spoken about the legal and ethical considerations we must take if we were to produce each idea. I will condense the presentation into fewer words and add supportive imagery, as our audience felt the presentation was too text heavy. It has been suggested that we should bring a greater focus on the local film scene as well to fit with Sheffield Live!'s community theme; so we will plan a special 'Sheffield' episode where we could interview local film talent from directors and actors to students and film critics. Finally, we need to mention where each respective show would fit into Sheffield Live!'s broadcasting; what time they would be broadcast and what their particular market position would be.

LO 3: Sample Audio for Manter
Embedded Audio
For our Manter idea, we chose music that reflected the comedy and informal chat; so the relaxing lounge 'elevator' jazz music fit appropriately. We looked at soundtracks that were available royalty free, meaning we do not have to pay license fees for the use of the music in our show. However for this particular theme, there is a Music Broadcast Licensing Fee of $28 we must purchase in order to broadcast the music as the Theme song for Manter over the Radio. All details can be found on this website.
This one minute extract includes the chosen music as well as example dialogue:
