News Reporter Script

This is a draft script for the 'Video Clip 1'. Video Clip 1 is that of a newspaper report by a news journalist just on scene of a murder. The journalist will be holding a peice of paper and a microphone. Although journalists dont generally hold sheets of paper we can justify this case with the fact that he is first on scene and the crime has just happened. As this clip will be used in ou rmedia collage from the title sequence it needs to give certain components of the plot away, let some light on to the storyline.
As it stands I will be acting the part of the Journalist wearing a suit.
A mid shot from the camera should have the background in shot, and I should be centered, the camera focused above the waist. Hopefully we will be setting up some 'Police Crime Scene Tape' behind the reporter to create a stereotypical crime scene.

For the purposes of this script the journalist will be called Z.

Z. I am standing outside the Mitre Pub in Cambridge where police have rushed to the scene of the crime. I arrived only a few minutes ago, almost simultaneously with the 'Police Tape' you see behind me. There is general confusion to what has happened. Apologises to viewers for my lack of preparation, there has been little warning coupled with only a few key facts. The Prime Minister began his stay at the pub in the centre of cambridge which also boasts 5 star bed and breakfast services at 7pm last night after international discussions with foreign representatives from around the world. The only information I have been given is that a phone call was recieved at 6 am this morning by BBC News from a resident who lives nearby that there was extreme emergency service activity at around 5.30 am. An ambulance left the scene at 5.40 am with police escort. There has been no statement released as of yet from the police. More information as it develops, for now, James Stevens from the Mitre in Cambridge.
