Scripting voiceover and the recording

This is the script to the documentary so the person doing the voiceover knew what they were doing. After every paragraph of the script we waited around 20 seconds before the next paragraph was read. This helped to make sure there was no complication so it wouldnt get mixed up. We had to watch the documentary first before so that we could see how long of a gap there was so we could make sure the text fitted.

This is the script:

Introduction-21 seconds
Are we becoming an increasingly greedy society? Is the desire for a large pay packet, an ideal education and the latest gadgets simply a feature of human nature? Or is our society greedier than previous generations? Have we lost sight of the line between greed and obsession? We asked people what comes to mind when they think of greed.

Voxpops to Banker-5 seconds
Our survey showed that two thirds of people claim that money makes them happy, but is there a link between greed and money?

Banker to Dad-7 seconds
Many people agree that greed is one of the main causes of the recession, but with bills mounting up, how is the average family coping?

Dad to Gran-6 seconds
So are the youth of today a greedier generation or have our gluttonous habits been passed down from our ancestors?

Paris Hilton-12 seconds
Paris Hilton, the girl who has everything from clothes to cars, perfume to pooch, plays a major role in the lives of many teenage girls. And she is not alone. Programmes such as MTV Cribs portrays thousands of celebrities glamourising greed. But is this a lifestyle we should be promoting?

Michael Carroll-20 seconds
Many people dream of having lots of money so that they can have a better life, but does the reality match the dream? According to the 9 million pound lottery winner Michael Carroll, the answer is yes. Spending his winnings on cars, a house, drink, drugs and women, he says he is happy despite now being penniless again. We asked people what they’d buy if they won the lottery.
