If my life were a TV show, it would most likely be called, The Truman Show. It would be an all-the-time show, that would continually play. It would mostly follow me throughout the day, and show everything that I do. Here is a sample of one of the 24-hour episodes of the show.

Scene #1
-Sound of alarm clock beeping-
My bed creaks, as I get up, and walk across the room to my alarm clock
-Sound of switch clicking, and beeping stops-
The camera man follows me down the stairs and into the kitchen
It's still dark, and the house is quiet
I get out some bread, and toast it
I eat the bread and then get up and go to the living room

The camera man follows me, as I go to the piano and start playing

I stop practicing and go stop my rabbit from biting at the carpet
I finish practicing

I speed walk upstairs to D Lab

"Hi everybody, we hope you enjoyed your four day weekend AWAY from school, and too bad it had to spoiled by-"
-Sound of student getting interrupted by teacher, and mic getting taken from student-
"Hello Lava Ridge! we hope you all had a wonderful break, and did some fun activities..."
Announcements continue until we say the pledge
Advisory continues normally
-Sound of intercom turning on-
Mr. Young starts talking over intercom
"Hello teachers and students, if you happen to see a student wearing a yellow wig, and a fake mustache, running wildly through the school, please report it to the office, thank you."
Everyone in the classroom has a confused expression, including me
The day continues normally, and the camera man follows me throughout the school

My mom walks out the front door
Me: What's that?
My mom: it's your extremely early birthday present from me!
The rest of the evening passed by normally
-Sound of someone knocking on the door-
I go to the door and the camera man follows me
-Sound of door creaking open-
There is no one on the front porch, but a car drives away
-Sound of Beethoven's 9th on a car radio fading away-
I shrug and close the door
Then I fall asleep in bed while doing my homework
-Silence-

(To Be Continued)
That was a really good show! It was cool how you used sound effects too! The only thing I would change is try to spice it up a bit I got bored at some parts but that's about it!
ReplyDeleteI really liked this! My favorite part was how you told it from your perceptive. Like when you said the camera man would follow you down the stairs. I agree with Katie, but other than that I really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI really like the chicken statue just because it is a chicken. Something that you can do to improve your script is to make it a bit more about chickens and to make it a bit more detailed.
