2. Initial Responses and Idea Generation
Log your initial thoughts regarding the set brief in this document
What stories could you use? How do you feel about the different potential
formats? What are the positives about this project? What could be some difficult
aspects? Etc
Use the format on this document to guide this response – some are set as a
question on one slide, but you should look to add further slides as necessary

3. Which stories have you researched and looked
as potential starting points?
• I have looked into different ghost stories and lots of different horrors, for
example doctor who, and the arrivals. I researched different stories within
where I live and different mysteries for example conspiracy theories. I
gravitated towards more of the conspiracy theories as I think the dialogue
led me into a mystery and the use of sound effects made it super intriguing
but also creepy. As well as finding conspiracy's relatable having experience.

4. Which research into existing products has been the
most useful? Includes examples and explanations
• The most useful research of an existing product was probably “ stuff they
don’t want you to know” as it’s a conspiracy documentary audio and
includes lots of formal Information and the narrating is very clear, it has
great sound effects that inspire me to feature in mine. Like diegetic sounds
to create a supernatural experience.

5. Which production format [drama, narration,
etc] do you feel fits your idea best and why?
• I think a documentary best fits my production format as its conspiracy type
audio and a documentary is quite formal, but also can be super interesting
and intriguing on the audience. I'm going to be narrating my experiences
into a documentary format and interviewing my special guests.

6. Which story have you settled on and why?
• I have settled on a conspiracy theory as Im very interested in conspiracy's
myself and feel I could express this through my audio. As well as
experiencing what I'm going to be discussing. I thought choosing
conspiracy theories just allowed me to talk about more and would be
easier to narrate other than maybe ghost storytelling witch I don’t believe
in so it would be hard to personally talk about. I think conspiracy theories
also allow me to explore lots of sfx and effects, like diegetic sounds.

7. If you had to sell your story quickly, what is the
title and the logline?
• In this audio I will be discussing whether we are alone in this world, joined
by my special guests we will bring you along this intriguing spooky ride.
Prepare yourself to be mind blown.

8. What ideas have you had for sound effects,
narration and storytelling?
• I have had many ideas for what sound effects I will use. For example,
knocking witch creates suspense as well creating a sense of place to get
across to the listener for example alien sound effects. I will be the narrator
of my story and discuss dates and times as well as personal experiences for
example supernatural things that have happened in my life or two my
special guests.

9. Initial feelings…how do you feel about the
project currently?
• I currently feel positive towards the project, slightly nervous about creating
my own script and narrating it but I can get practice in for that, I'm exited
about telling my story and sharing my experience with others.

10. What other research do you think you need to
do?
• Other research I may need to do includes getting my cast sorted, its helpful
to have a plan of when and were I am going to produce my audio. As well
as planning my script correctly and making sure I give myself enough time
to produce as well as create sound effects. I also want to research lots of
other existing story's to inspire me.
