26 Chapter Two: Writing Begins: The Writer’s Brief The time line for the creation of an Enter-Educate radio serial covers a number of vital steps, and ample time must be allowed for each one. The actual number of days or weeks needed for each step will vary from project to project, but adequate time must be allowed for the following steps: Step 1: Design Step 2: Pilot Preparation Step 3: Continuous Activities • Design team workshop • Writing of design document • Approval of design document and Writer’s Brief • Writing story treatment • Approval of treatment • Writing pilot program(s) • Script translation, if needed • Audio production of pilot program(s) • Testing pilot program(s) • Script revision • Re-production and retesting if needed • Script writing • Typing scripts • Script review • Script revisions and retyping, possibly including translation • Audio production and editing, including rehearsals • Copying from master tape • Filing/storing archive tapes These are the components of the time line that most affect the writers. There will be separate time lines for audio production, promotional materials preparation, monitoring, and evaluation. (A sample time line is included in the companion volume to this book, Radio Serial Drama for Social Development: A Program Manager’s Manual.) 20. Story treatment and sample episode. The treatment is an outline or synopsis of the drama presented as a narrative or story, rather than in dramatic form. It is written after the rest of the design document is completed. Some design teams also like to include a sample script of a typical episode in the design document. This is prepared by the script writer and illustrates the drama’s format and characters.
Chapter Two: Writing Begins: The Writer’s Brief 27 Chapter Summary ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ There are two main types of radio serial for social development: nontechnical programs and technical knowledge programs. Nontechnical programs focus on increasing the audience's awareness of and interest in a new pro-social behavior. Technical knowledge programs, which are often used for distance education, require listeners to learn, recall, and use specific information. The writer bases the design and content of the educational aspects of Enter-Educate programs on information contained in the Writer’s Brief. The Writer’s Brief is part of a larger design document drawn up by the design team; it includes all the information needed to provide a solid foundation for the radio serial, and includes details about the audience, the objectives and purpose of the project as a whole and of each episode, the message content, and a time line. A script support team is available to advise the writer on content, audience, audio production, and government policy. 2
