Documentary Script

 When making the script, I went through a lot of cut downs. Every time, I recorded my voice to try and judge the timings. 

Initially, the script was very fact based, with lots of dates and numbers that would take time to read. Another thing is the names like Agamemnon with a lot of vowels or things that were difficult to pronounce for me. After thinking about adding in a timeline, I was able to take a lot of these out. 

I also had an opening paragraph explaining what the study of mythistory is, as that was the initial conversation that started this topic for me. But I ended up making this a visual over the top of the speech - and ultimately closer to the end, removed it entirely and opted for it to be used in the poster tagline and press pack FAQ. 

One of my main issues with my final script was that I struggled to make it with room for error. I did make sure that when choosing a voice actor, I made sure they understood that the timing was the most crucial element and they made sure they could do it first. 

My voice actor was wonderful and very professional, as well as just a very nice person to meet. I'm quite proud of myself for reaching out to people and communicating as much as I did with her, We constantly checked to see if the other was still doing okay. There were a few technical hitches on her end which set us back by about two weeks, but thanks to our organisation around how tight the timings should be, I was able to start animating simple shots like the title cards and being able to make it fit within the time. 

How the script was narrowed down.
