There are the key differences between radio script and television script
Scenes and Sequences
Radio plays are divided into sequences. Every sequence should end with a fade or a cut. The passage of time may be indicated by music or a silence leaving no doubt in the mind of listeners as where and when the action is taking place. Whereas T.v play is divided in scenes and every scene appeared with establishing shot. Every scene is on the screen.
Characterization
An essential element in a radio play. Limit the number of characters to maximum four at a time. And the story should revolve around single person. Beware of characters that are very much a like to avoid the confusion for the listeners. Such as mothers of two friends. Unless there is some obvious difference in terms of temperament or accent. Whereas, in T.v play there is not such limitation of characters. Story may revolves around more than 8 or 9 people it will not be difficult for the viewer to remember the character as every character is on screen.
Dialogue
Dialogue writing is another important element of radio plays as it involves verbal communication so it must be expressive as much as possible. The delivery of words creates a mind picture so that the play must be written by keeping the visual sense. An attracting opening is necessary which can grab the attention of listeners. Avoid using such words which cause tongue twist and the unnecessary dialogues should also be avoided. Every dialogue must make its contribution for the story as a whole and move the plot onward. Where as in TV play viewers can see movements of characters the face expressions, body language as far it is concerned. It embraces the non-verbal communication as well. For example a tragic scene can be shown only through tears on t.v but on radio emotions should be shown through words.
