Radio Documentary

For this task my class were asked to observe a radio documentary and describe the structure of content in order.

BBC 1Xtra logo

I chose to look at this thought provoking 1xtra documentary titled cry rape, which was broadcast on the 21st of august 2008 and presented by Adele Cross. The program itself talks about the issues and hardships that  men who are accused of rape face from their social life, to their professional working life.

  • Montage of Interviews and vox-pops over the jingle
  • Presenter's detailed introduction and archive footage of new broadcasts
  • Ben's story/soundscape of party/presenter brief narration
  • Presenter talking about statistics

I found the documentary very well presented and interesting I particularly liked the way in which three snippets of interviews would play over a certain topic with people giving their views on a certain subject to that the viewer would get a varied perspective on that subject.
