SCRIPT REDRAFTING...

So the believability factor isn't there in my previous script so I'm going to redraft it and work with my VO to create audio that resembles natural speech as much as possible. I wanted to develop the script so that they script works towards revealing the protagonist's realization of what he's actually participated in. I'm also going to work on the language used within the script as currently the language is quite blunt. I want to create a scenario where the audience realize that the protagonist is a spin doctor without needing to be completely obvious and state he is one. These will be my next steps to improve the script:


  • Watching and taking notes on interviews with director of communications for the government e.g. Alastair Campbell

  • Looking at language used such as communications, strategy, speech writer etc
  • Rework the script by going through and speaking it
  • Work with my VO to read the script naturally 
The script needs to work really well for the whole project to come together. Eventually the audience will learn of the protagonist's main role as director of communications (or as an outsider, the more common title: spin doctor) for Medicorp. The protagonist is Medicorp's enforcer and ensures the public all follow Medicorp guidelines, usually in the form of spin. Through the protagonist, the audience will gain an insider account where the protagonist is taking a step back and looking back in to his actions and purpose e.g. an insider on the outside looking back in. 

Basically, the project will undoubtedly be satirizing the inner workings of British government and its relationship with the Media.
