HG Wells


Radio: most of the radio is advertisement now
The radio format is now on iTunes, pod casts, streaming audio
  • We listened to 1938 War of the Worlds: by HG Wells, spoken by Orson Wells
    • Time period:
      • Coming out of depression 
      • Strong socialist movement 
      • People were scared. 
  • Painting pictures in your head with WORDS.
  • We want to change people with their words and knowledge.  
War of the Worlds:
    • Didn’t sound scripted 
    • Background noise echoed emotion
    • Lingo matched interviewers
      • Radio guy lingo
      • Military guy lingo
      • Scientist guy lingo
    • Used descriptive words:
      • Dripping wet
      • Smooth leather
    • Had radio cut aways:
      • This made the time go faster in our head. 
      • Cutaway to music or to network guy.
