Speech: The manner in which words are spoken – annunciations, pitch
Music: Sets the mood, the tone and the setting – lesser volume (Background)
Sound: Ambience and Sound Effects (SFX) – 3D Perspective being in the same category as Surround Sound.
Aural Signposting: Setting the scene using noises, sounds and voices.
Silence: Creates a Dramatic Effect, Accentuates a moment, Ends a scene or section, Breaks the dialogue up, Gives breathing breaks for actors to recompose themselves, Prevents from switching off and Adds moments of thought
Narrative: Linear – chronological evolution of events which reduces convolution.
Non Linear: Builds up an argument between characters.
Single – Stranded: One individual presents/analyses theme; can have temporary guests.
Multi – Stranded: Two or more presenters discuss theme.
Fictional or Non-Fictional – Either or can be fine for a podcast
Narrator: Third Person (Definitely, No Question)

Technical Elements
Audiologo Ident: Aural mix used on its own to identify a product/service. Choose a musical jingle and a production name if you are in a team.
Intro: Musical Welcome/Initial Credits. Must Happen
Outro: Musical Farewell (Shorter) – End. Must Happen
Jingle/Bumber: Slogan or Vocal Line set to an engaging melody. The Jingle mainly appears at the beginning, where as a Bumper can appear multiple times.
