 BBC radio 4 (Radio drama) - The Hotel

In BBC's radio "The Hotel" the radio drama is 14 minutes long and the show covers many different conventions and we see these throughout its episodes. the radio drama "The Hotel" has the narrator talk about the "The Hotel" in a 3rd person type of view as if the place is actually a real person. The writer, Daisy Johnson is a British novelist and story righter. Her debut novel, Everything under, was shortlisted for the 2018 Man Booker Prize, making her the youngest nominee in the prize's history. The radio drama is a horror thriller and it has many different conventions which make this clear and easier to understand. In the show it uses sound to create tension when the narrator explains the events and what occurs inside the hotel and mysterious deaths within the hotel, eerie music is played and this is what rises the tension in the scenes and what gives it this thriller feeling we feel as if something will happen and we really feel the presence of the hotel although it isn't real at all.  

This show fulfils the remit of the BBC remit to entertain it's viewers to educate, inform and entertain. This show focusses solely on the entertainment side of things as nothing on it educates or informs us on anything we see that. I can also add on that since its made to educate the show's target audience would mainly sway away from a younger audience so I'd it sways between the age of 16-22 year olds who are interested in fantasy thriller stories.

Another way sound is used to create tension in this would be through the voice acting the narrator reads in a manner where it's spooky enough to grab your attention to what's going on in the narrative. We see this in ( ) where the narrator talks about what's happened to the author that lived in the hotel and her final message before passing. The way everything is said is hair-rising and this is brilliantly done to fit the convention of the show (Horror-Thriller).
