opening sequence script draft 2

INT. BEDROOM. NIGHT

American Reporter:

 This is news just in, and you are looking at the world trade centres in New York where it is understood that a plane apparently crashed into one of the twin towers. At this point however CNN are trying to capture further information about the type of plane or the extent of the damage caused, but obviously it looks quite severe.

British Reporter:

And we’re getting reports of a plane crash in the world trade centre in New York; you can see the pictures there. That is all the information we know at the moment, you can see there is a large fire and evidence of a great collision. This is all from BBC news at this moment, please return-

(Premonition)

American Reporter:

The world trades are at the moment covered in a thick veil of dust, it is difficult to see how this could’ve- Oh my God, um, well it seems that another collision has just happened, though it is not clear which tower it was-

British Reporter:

 The world trade centres hold a large amount of office workers, and it is still not confirmed the exact amount of casualties.
 (Pause)
BBC has gathered more information and it seems that a second plane has hit the twin towers, though it is still unclear which exact tower it is in lower Manhattan.

American accent:

 And it is confirmed that the south tower has also been hit on 9:15 on the September 11th 2001

An alternative idea we developed for the voice over was for the accent in which the news story was narrated to alternate between various ones in order to emphasise how widespread the story was internationally. This script was drafted after recording when we came up with the idea during the day of filming, however we were unable to re-record the voice over properly and using this script due to time constraints so had to use our intial recordings for the opening sequence.
