1. Documentary Transcript
As student C, I am in charge of the sound which includes the voice over. As a group,
we discussed and decided which topic we should cover in each minute. So after
doing the storyboard , it was then easy to work out what the voice-over would be. I
consulted with the other members of my group and asked them what they wanted for
their minute to make sure I’m doing the right thing.
The first minute script is all about introducing the topic and getting the viewers
interested
The second is covering all the topics while establishing our audience and the
location of the documentary
The first minute is about University vs. Apprenticeships and covering other options
students available to students
The fourth minute is on EMA and the financial cuts students faced and how it
affected them.
The fifth and final minute is about youth unemployment and the reasons for that (the
government?)
