Re-writing voice over

Now that I have added new footage to the beginning of my title sequence it became very clear that the voice over that was playing over the top of the footage was both too short and didnt show enough of the characters personalilty. Therefore, I have decided to re-write the script for my voice over, making it longer so it develops Rosie's character in more depth and gives the audience and insight into her personal life and why shes ended up in the state she is now in. I've tried to make the speech more defiant and aggressive to portray the negative stereotype of her character and the rebilious nature of the clips that are shown in relation to this. I also needed to remove one of the last sections of the voice over that claimed Rosie didnt take drugs as on monday night we shot Rosie taking pills and cutting fake drugs as one of the flash back shots. With this new voice over I aim to build a stronger relationship between Rosie and the audience so that they can understand her more as a character, hopefully making her contreversial as to whether she should be liked by the audience or not. I hope that some viewers will be able to relate to the lifestyle she lives and for other viewers to be shocked by what she gets up to. This will then provide contreversial opinons on how teenagers act outside of school and the effects of their social lives. I think it's important for me to represent the negative protrayal of teenagers to show just how dangerous young peoples lives can get at such a vital stage in their lives.

‘Rosie’

Second Draft

Rosie (v.o)

I’ve done a lot of stupid things in my life. I wouldn’t say that I was proud of them but at the same time I wouldn’t say that I completely regret my actions either. When I was five I stuck a crayon up the nose of Jamie Smith because he stole my bracelet and made me cry, when I was 10 I punched the lollypop man outside of school because he didn’t tell me to ‘have a nice day’. Now I’m 17 and my life is still a mess. But I make my own choices, I live while I’m young, I’m not meant to stay at home and be quiet and shy, but go out and be daring and wild partying all day and all night… But I guess you can get away with things when you’re young can’t you? When I was little everything was just rainbows and those stupid gold stars you’d get of teachers for good work. You can’t exactly get a gold star for drinking 3 bottles of wine each week, or going out each night to a party of someone you don’t know just in the hope that you’ll get off with them. I’ll have my late nights and I’ll come home on a high, I’ll drink till I’m sick and I’ll live till I die. At the end of the day, I don’t give a fuck if people think I’m a mess. I’m not pregnant, I’m not a criminal and I’m not in some messed up, violent gang. I’m just Rosie… and this is my life.
