Studio Production Unit: Politics VT Script

Sam and I worked on the script for the domestic violence VT. Sam created it, and I edited it:

In parallel with SFX; Effect making Shot Move In and Out once very fast. As if the image ‘Scratches’ with the SFX.	SFX; Vinyl Record Scratch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otDurCXu23E	00:20 – 00:21
EXT; Same location as before. M/C/U; Dave looking to camera. Move to M/S at “That’s why I’m...”. Lead to Dave walking past camera.	COMM – Presenter; “Now, I think some of his legislations may seem a bit, you know, yeah. But hey that’s just my opinion! That’s why I’m down here in Margate, to see what the people themselves think!”	00:21 – 00:31
EXT; Outside Thanet Council, or building in the shot (if possible, need permission). M/S; Dave with ‘Al’ and ‘Nigel’.	COMM – Presenter; “Well I’ve luckily been able to get in contact with the UKIP boss Nigel and Potential Pub Landlord Al. How we doing guys?”	00:32 – 00 00:38

COMM – Presenter; “Now I’m not going to get into a debate about who should have the MP spot, instead we’re going to leave this to the public. Come on then guys, lets see what Margate think!”	00:42 – 00:50
EXT; SEQ; VOX POPS; Aim for high street, promenade, beach (dependent on weather), bus stops, pubs, etc. Could try to find what answers we want. For example, go to the pub for Al Murray. Film VOX POPS normally however edit could be a brief answer and short explanation. GRAPHICS; Tally showing how many people have said either of their names GRAPHICS; could have banner on bottom showing tweets from the two parties.	COMM – Interviews SFX; ‘Ting’ sound for every time one of the two’s names are said.	00:50 – 1:50
EXT; SEQ; C/A – Murray drinking a beer, with Nigel looking ashamed. Show some funny contrast between the two whilst getting interviews. C/A; Shots of Margate just incase.	COMM – Al & Nigel “...”	Between 00:50 – 01:50 Aim for around 6 seconds.
EXT; End of SEQ; M/S – Dave with Al and Nigel. After VOX POPS have finished, Dave announces who got the most (aim to make it equal voting to stay biased! All could be eating an ice-cream as it is a ‘sunny seaside coast’. Both Nigel and Al could throw their ice cream on the floor?	COMM – Presenter; “Well I think we’ve let Margate have their say, and it looks like we’re back at square one, you both got ‘x’ points! I suppose we better let the real election take place. Now back to the show!”	01:50 – 02:00
