Radio Play Vs. Twilight Zone

The Hitchhiker is an interesting radio station play and so was the remake of the play in an episode of The Twilight Zone. Their plot takes place in the U.S., the main character/narrator is heading to California. While heading to California from New York, they keep seeing a hitchhiker while they’re driving across the country.

“Radio” the film released in 2003 was directed by Michael Tollin, is about the story of a mentally disabled black man. The film is set in a small town of South Carolina in the period of 1970s. The movie starts with the scene of main character, called Radio who is pushing a cart in the street going on his rounds in streets of town. People around him in streets show annoyance and resentment as he passes by but Radio is walking though as if it is part of his daily routine. Gooding named James or Radio in movie looks down all the way and gesticulation of James shows mental or psychological challenge or disability.

Despite all the differences in ¨Miriam¨ and The Twilight Zone episode ¨Nothing in the Dark,¨ there are various similarities in the films. Since they are both Southern Gothic, they were fairly alike in the writing style and characters.

One of the similarities in these two versions of the story is how the wind is constantly brought up throughout the radio play and the original text. The wind represents something more than just the wind and I am infer that the wind represents how do humans are getting changed day by day by this planet. The wind is mention in both of the stories constantly and is described just about the same way. Even though the wind is constantly mentioned throughout the versions of the story almost in the same way, in the radio play the producers add in sound effects of the wind, music and silence that there original text doesn't have. This gives the reader a better image to the setting problems and emotions based on how the character says certain things and how the producer uses these sound effects. In the original text the reader has to create their own voices of the characters and interpreter take an interprete this gives the reader a better image to the setting problems and emotions based on how the character says certain things and how the producer uses these sound effects. In the original text the reader

The play “The Hitchhiker” by Lucille Fletcher describes the journey of a man named Ronald Adams traveling to California. When he sets out on his drive, he sees a hitchhiker on Brooklyn Bridge leaning against the cables. Throughout his trip, he sees this same hitchhiker many times. The author uses tone in the story to create a feeling of horror and makes the character appear paranoid, frightened, and frantic.

One of the most widely noted sound elements of the football film, Friday Night Lights, amongst fans and critics is its frequent use of the Texas-based band, Explosions in the Sky. But I believe there is a more interesting sound element that is just as prominent in the overall soundscape of the film, and that is the use of radio in the film. Radio takes on the form of two identities in this film: a radio talk show as well as live game commentary. Because it is eventually revealed to the audience that both the live game commentator and radio talk show host are the same person, and that both are broadcast as radio content, it is acceptable to group these two factors into the

The movie “Radio” is the tale of a young African-American man who suffers from severe mental retardness and his journey to fame from football in the small South Carolinian town of Anderson. James “Radio” Kennedy is befriended by the T. L. Hanna High School head football coach, Coach Jones, and begins to help as an “assistant coach” of some sort. Eventually, James begins to attend Hanna High as an eleventh grade student due to the persistent efforts of Coach Jones.

To start things off, we will discuss the similarities. There are three that jump right off the page: one, both these songs were first released in the third album of the respective artists; two, both songs were released in the 1960s decade; and three, both songs were formatted along 7" diameter i.e. both were phonograph records.

Despite his best efforts, Koch’s adaptation was not received well by other members in the company. Welles called the script “corny” and criticized the writers for “presenting so silly a show” according to the show’s producer, Dick Barr. Even the technicians and the secretaries had reservations about the show. Koch chose to use real locations and landmarks to heighten shock value and increase the script’s entertainment value. Houseman suggested Koch “dramatize it in the form of news bulletins.” Koch agreed and divided airtime between a slow music program and emergency news bulletins. The ‘fake’ music program took place at a hotel. “Radio was full at that time of remote programs from hotels,’ said Eric Barnouw, “they were always filling in time by going the Hotel Pennsylvania, and so forth.” The dance music was continuously interrupted by emergency news broadcasts from reporters and live witnesses warning listeners of a Martian invasion currently taking place in Grover’s Mill, New Jersey, a small town near Princeton University. The broadcast exemplified “radio verite- the highly effective use of overlapping dialogue, crowd noise, microphone feedback, and other effects.” In his book, however, Cowell argues that Koch’s adaptation succeeded because of “its consistent immediacy: the music, sound effects, silences and hesitations throughout the play are as important as its blatant screams of hysteria and the story of itself.” Even listeners who had heard the

In Daniel Alarcón’s novel, Lost City Radio, he appeals to his readers through the usage of pathos and logos by his character, Don Zahir, insinuating that everyone has no memories of the war. Alarcón focuses on revealing the truth of the government being responsible for the people’s memory loss about the war and the IL. He points out that both the people of village 1797 and Manau from the capital have no recognition of the events. In addition, Alarcón uses claim of value to prove to his readers that the government within the novel, is erasing the memories of the IL and the war from the people. Also, Alarcón supports his claim within the novel by his character, Don Zahir, stating that none of the soldiers remember the IL and the war either.

   John Cheever’s "The Enormous Radio" represents the enormous amount of hidden truths in American society of the 1940s. The problems with society during this time were hidden behind a facade of goodness; however, this false innocence becomes visible through the radio owned by the Westcotts. The radio causes the Westcotts to evolve from an innocent, naive pair who believe that everything they see is real, into individuals who realize that appearances are deceiving.

There is much to contrast and not much to compare about the characters and their appearance and personality in The Hitchhikers

Born in 1903, Theodore Adorno is one of the most prominent figures in the Frankfurt school of communications, a school of social theory and philosophy which studied the effects and structure of the media. In 1945, Adorno published one of his most famous articles, “A Social Critique of Radio Music”. In his somehow controversial essay, Adorno claims that the music played on the radio reflects broader social behavior patterns, that benefits the power elite and numbs the masses. Adorno goes on and state four axioms he believed to be true regarding the existing capitalist society, including how we live in a society of commodities. The main problem he dissects in his article, is that now music is being treated as a commodity as well. Further,

Television and radio ratings data are used primarily to assist decision making with regard to advertising, programming, financial analysis, and policy making, all of which have significant economic or social implications. It is important to realise that audience measurement is a business; the firms involved are intent on using their analysis to make money. This essay will discuss why ratings are used, what ratings actually measure, specific to radio audience ratings, and the extent to which this information provides a satisfactory understanding of broadcast audiences. It will be seen that ratings do not usually generate any deep understanding of why people are listening to particular programmes, but do capture audience size and make up reasonably well.
