The radio drama is an adaptation of the TV series The Walking Dead, focusing on the character of Carl after he becomes separated from the group during a store raid. The drama will follow Carl as he tries to make his way back to the group over the course of 6 fifteen-minute episodes airing twice a week for three weeks on Radio 1. The target audience is fans of The Walking Dead TV series who will appreciate expanding Carl's character. Sound effects will enhance the horror and drama elements during Carl's journey.

LIFE

2. SUMMERY & GENRE
The radio drama is an adaptation of the TV series the Walking Dead.
In the TV series we see a group of survivors who stay together and
move across America in hope for a cure.
In my adaptation we will see the group at the start but while raiding
a store, Carl will become separated. This will ne where the drama
begins as I plan to create episodes where Carl tries to get back to
them.
The genre of the radio drama will be Horror/Drama as I will plan to
keep the original style and feel as the walking dead.
I will keep the original Horror aspects as I will include jump scenes
and will have the zombies within the radio show. I will have the
drama remain within the horror style as well.

3. TARGET AUDIENCE
The target audience for my adaptation will be the same as the
target audience for the Walking dead as people will
understand the characters and will understand the story a lot
better.
This adaptation will be good for the target audience as plan
to use it in order to expand the character of Carl so the
audience will have a better understanding of him. This will
mean that when they then view the TV programme they will
be able to feel closer to Carl.

4. CHARACTER
PROFILES
Carl: He will play the central character as he will be the one that is
being separated from the group. The audience will see him changed
into a young independent man. Carl will represent a young sweet
boy who has being brought up during this zombie apocalypse. He
will seem like butter wouldn't melt but when things turn sour we
see him change into a smart, well planned man that knows how to
kill zombies in the correct way.
Rick: Carl’s dad the audience will see him briefly in the start of the
first episode before Carl gets separated from the group. Rick's
character will be described as he appears within the TV series. He is
going to appear to be too protective over Carl and will appear to not
let him do much without him being there.

5. SCHEDULE
INFORMATION
The Drama that I am creating will be broadcasted on radio
one. This will be because my target audience are more likely
to be listening to this radio drama compared to if I put it on
BBC radio 4. I plan to broad cast the drama with 6 15 minute
shows that will be played 2 a week so it will last a total of 3
weeks. I plan to put the show on at 8 pm and it will be
available on the Iplayer for people when they need it.
