At first, we began looking into the idea of urban myths. The genre sounded like a good idea to transfer to a radio drama, however after conducting some initial research we did not find any particular urban myths that caught our eye. We then decided on the idea of 'teen-drama.' After researching into other teen-dramas across numerous media formats, we discovered that most offered a highly unrealistic representation of teenagers/young adults. Most represented them as being drug-addicts or constantly on the lookout for trouble and committing crimes. We decided to go against this media-caused, stereotypical view of young adults. We decided to represent teenagers as more concerned about their futures.
