How to make a radio spot

In this activity you create a radio spot based on one of the children's rights you get from the generator. Plan the spot, record your speak, find music and sound effects, and finally mix it all together creating a full sound image.

1

Preproduction 30 min.

  • Draw one of the rights from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in the generator:

The right to express opinions
The right to information
Protection from abuse
The right to education
Protection from child labour
> KLIK HER <
  • Picture what your lives would be like without this right. Fx what if you could not get any help if you were beaten at home (Protection from abuse)? Or what if you did not have access to the Internet and could not use Facebook (The right to information and The right to express opinions)?
  • Fill out the radio spot board.
  • The final production must be 45 seconds max., because this is how it works in real life. Try out your radiospot board - read the text aloud and immitate the sound effects with your mouth - while taking time:
