SYNOPSIS
Birmingham-based Transition Stage Company set up Enter.Stage.Write and Amplified as annual competitions, offering writers a chance to get their script adapted for the stage and performed by professional actors. Amplified focuses on black, Asian and minority ethnic writers.
In 2021, the ten winning scripts were adapted for screen and made into two specials.
SOUND DESIGN
All scripts were filmed with a black screen background and minimal set design. This provided a great opportunity to enhance the story through sound. There were a huge variety of scripts with plenty genre material to play with, including drama, comedy and sci-fi. Ambiences were used to lend a sense of believability to each one, with sounds of apartments, waiting rooms, cafes and museums. Others relied more heavily on original music to aid the storytelling.
