Second Draft Script

After writing the first script and recording it for my first animatic me and my media teacher went through the script and slightly altered it so that it would flow more naturally and fluidly. Below is the improved and final script.

Look at it…another bright cold April day. It has always been another bright cold April day for as long as I can remember. That's not saying much, as after all… there’s no such thing as memory, well…no such thing anymore. 

The year is twenty twenty two… or is twenty twenty three? No, maybe it's twenty twenty four? The thing is, no one really knows. Years as we used to know them ceased to exist after the "Great Restriction"…

Look at them all… They're getting ready for hate week. You can’t see it, there are no banners… posters …or advertisements but we all know it. Those things… the banners and what not, were all removed during the “Great Freedom”. 

There are stories; wonderful stories about people being happy. Large groups of people would come together, just for the enjoyment of being with each other not for mid chant or appraisals. They’re things that came after the “Great Freedom”, things the government imposed on us.

The government controls everything now, we all bow to them, we have no choice. There are four Ministries between which the government is divided. The Ministry of Truth, which concerns itself with news, entertainment, education, and the fine arts. The Ministry of Peace, which concerns itself with war. The Ministry of Love, which maintains law and order. And the Ministry of Plenty, which is responsible for economic affairs. Have I heard that before?

But we can’t talk or think about these matters, we are not allowed to, they know they always know. I should not have, I did not have, nothing was said. Forget what was said and then forget that you forgot what was said. 

That is how you stay alive here, that is how you remain sane.

Now I need to find an individual to record the voice over. After a conversation with my media teacher we decided that an individual with a deeper voice, that will holds the audiences attention and sounds like it has some history behind it would be more apt at delivering the script.
