Narrative Story Idea - Alien News Report
Have you heard about the Alien Invasion? Aliens have surrounded the planet and are now in standby mode while they decide on their next course of action. There is a stand off at the moment . . . you know the classic scene . . . the aliens arrive and one of them says:
"Take me to your leader!"
This is where the dilemna arises. The aliens are not happy that we don't have a leader - not one they are prepared to deal with at any rate. They have withdrawn their forces to a neaby location and left a radio drone to patrol the planet. This drone is a news and radio station. Its purpose is to collect information and to download the battle plans to commence the invasion. The alien vessel is broadcasting a continuous stream of drivel . . . the alien vessel is broadcasting a stream of news and entertainment programs while it fine tunes its translators . . .
Now I have it. A news report. Hmmm . . . this is my project for Digital Story Technology. Now I just have to storyboard it, do a bit of planning and produce a production journal . . . by last Friday.
Gotta run
adios

Narrative Story idea - News Report
Ahoy me Bloggers :-
Digital story idea:
A News program. Perhaps with some real stories, and not-so-real stories. Maybe some send up of some news stories, or stories that send up other news stories. A weather report. This looks promising.
No this won't do. It is to far away from my purpose. I want to make video clips that compliment our music. Music from the Radio Curly Collective, we have hundreds of video clips that we need to make. Why waste time making a film about something else?
Compromise.
A News program. An alien news program. Aliens have surrounded the planet and lay just out of sight in an orbit around our planet. Their has been a technical hitch to the alien invasion and the aliens have left a single space ship to observe and report back to the main fleet. This alien space ship is disguised as a news station, broadcasting by satellite, via the internet.
Hmmm . . . this is promising . . . I have a script I wrote last year that will be perfect. Now, a quick storyboard, some production notes and voila, my production journal, that was due today? Yesterday? I might have it ready for Monday.
Stay tuned . . . standing by . . . stand by camera one
