War of the Worlds

The impact that sound plays in the radio version of War of the Worlds portrays a different drastic interpretation over the reading. In the radio version, the various elements that sound incoorperates make the script intense and dramatic. Between the distressed screaming of the people to the short directness of the reporters, the radio adds a sort of importantness of the alien attack that the reading does not. Because one only hears their own voice while reading, they may not find the obvious bluntness the piece tries to exert.
