Ok, I am sorry about having my script on a different address but it wouldn't all fit. The script is on
http://www.freewebs.com/growlingdog/MED ... 5FMan.html
I need new stuff to add, so if anyone has any suggestions please post in this topic your ideas.
I made this some time last year so can't fully remember everything but here is the main idea.
Interview 1.
John: Today is a big day for me and for everyone watching. Your all going to see what it is like to broadcast on a real life television show. (camera keeps changing angle) let me tell you one thing, we go live, i mean really, unno, how cool is that. Not just some cheap station, we go live..everyday!
Interview 2.
John: There are moments in television that touch you greatly. The ones where you won't ever forget what happened. I remember once doing a live broadcast on the network with this guy. It was just so funny how he took it. He had no problems. I was excused straight away.
Broadcast 1.
Blake: The people ran from every direction. It was just black everywhere I looked. The blood. The screaming.
John: Ok that is really great but I need to ask a huge favour of you. I really need the toilet. So would we be able to just say pause the broadcast?
Blake: Ah...ok?
John: (smiling) It's a twoer so we're all good right?
Blake: Umm..ok, I guess?
Interview 3.
John: People often say to me, you can't be good looking and deviver reliable news, but i guess aftre I was born I changed that meaning, now you can!
Interview 4.
John: Doing the news, let me tell you, it ain't just about giving a story. I think the story can be on a bit of paper or it can be on the television. (silence because he doesn't make sense for 5 seconds) cut to another interview.
Interview 5.
John: There are always news story’s that can touch people on the inside. I remember a great story I did. I atually cried. For a tough guy like me that's terrible. Anyway I think you'll like it.
News Report 1.
John: (tears going down face) I remember it. Very good. Wouldn't disappoint. V8 engine. Bloody good car.
Interview 6.
John: (looks at watch) Well, time for what you have all been waiting for. Studio time! Let's take you down.
Walking down to studio 1.
John: Ok, all I kind of have to do is make sure there ain't a car in here and we are all set to go.
Setting up in studio 1.
John: Now it is time, yep, that's right, we are going to do a live broadcast to the town. So we do need to get the lighting right and the rest of the stuff you do to prepare a television station.
Interview 7.
John: I really think, I am capable of more than one thing. I mean, I am cameraman, editor, and the rest (laughs weirdly)
Setting up studio 2.
John: Ok, now I just get my camera on. Than I press this button here. (press' button) and then we go on air in 5 seconds.
(he is seen walking over and siting down on a chair out the front of a big white bed sheet)
News broadcast in studio 1.
John: Hello everyone. Again you are watching me, live from a studio. In today’s news, 436 people die when something came out of the sky. They all died. Also, 28 people are in a serious condition when a man went crazy in the streets. He shoot at 26 people none died and another 2 more are injured. It is believed they may have been injured from something else but happened to be on the seen. But now to our top story, 5 units around the corner from here are going on sale for just 365, 000 (365 thousand dollars), what a bargain! Time to talk to our Prime Minister James Panther. Hello James.
James: Yes, hi John. So what is the topic today?
John: Well today I though we could talk about...
(mobile phone rings)
John: Ah, I might have to take this.
(answers phone)
John: Ah, hello. (5 second pause) Oh hey there babe. (6 second brake) Sure baby, I will come. (4 second brake) No babe, I won't be late. (5 second brake) Oh, yeah, trust me I am looking forward to it.
(call ends)
John: Far out, I hate it when my mum calls me when I am at work.
Interview 9.
John: Being the 'news man' (using sarcastic fingers) can give you a reputation. Mine is good I can tell you that.
(video plays of John walking up to someone)
John: Hey there, how's it going?
Man on street: (beep) off
Interview 10.
John: Location, Location, Location, boy oh boy I love location, (weird laugh again). You guys are lucky by far. I just happen to be doing some news on the bush. So maybe we should go now. Do the story and come back for a chat.........
(Walking down street)
John: Love it, love it, love it. Location!
(setting up camera)
John: I sometimes find it abit hard. Setting up the camera. All the stuff I do for the community.
(Standing there with camera on tripod pointing at him)
John: This bush, handsome bush it is, the animals, the plants, the tress...
(car pulls up)
Man in car: Hey, doing a school project are you?
John: No, I run a local television station.
Man in car: You’ve gotta be joking?
John: What?
Man in car: nothing, anyway I was going to ask for some directions.
John get’s angry
John: I am trying to film a damn news story.
Man in car: Won’t be long to tell me where to go.
John: Sorry, I cannot help you.
Man in car: Don’t worry, it won’t take long.
John: Arr……just p*** off ok.
Man in car: Jez, I was just trying to get some help to get to the local television station.
John: Wait, I can help.
Man in car: No don’t worry.
(car speeds away)
John: Anyway, as I was saying. The bush, handsome place it is. The greens, the browns…..
(tripod falls down with camera on top)
John: Oh shi..seen ends
Siting on office
John: Ok, welcome to the ‘special effect’s department’ (using sarcastic fingers). Now I will show you some stuff I have edited for the news. Ok, here you go have a watch.
(throws a VHS tape)
(sound man comes over with smashed tape)
Soundman: Ok, the tape smashed when you threw it.
John: I have heaps of copy’s though. Don’t worry about it.
Soundman: Ah, well when you threw it and it fell into a few more of your tapes. Maybe you should put them onto a DVD?!
John: ‘the digital revolution’ (using sarcastic fingers) To easy, I like to challenge my self, have fun, not screw around with some damn computer.
Soundman: Isn’t that a computer behind you?
John: That, isn’t, really..have I showed you the news set yet?
Interview 11.
John: Well I hope you did enjoy a day in the life of me. This is what happens everyday for me.
All the fun I have.
(mobile phone rings)
(john answers)
John: Hello (8 seconds) I won 35 million dollars?
(camera keeps changing between different angles of him being so relieved for 10 seconds..
John: Far out. This is a prank call is it? (3 seconds) Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. (5 second brake) s***, wrong number.
Credits begin.

It's like looking into the mind of a mental patient...
Losing consciousness,
in the arms of an angel,
I find only peace.
