Reason for revisions

The reason I have revised my computer edits of my ancillary article is simply because I didn't feel that the product I had designed would have followed the conventions of a professional magazine. This is a rabbit hole a fell down during my AS year and I was determined not to do it again so I went for a more simplistic design trying to reflect magazines such as Empire.

Issues with filming 

During the past few months I have been helping many of my fellow students with their own coursework which has ultimately left me with very little time to complete my own work. This is a regrettable turn of events but it has shown me how hard it is to organise multiple actors and locations, therefore I will now be streamlining my acting choices to only a single actor. Oliver Steggles will now be holding the weight of performance solo. I hope this pays off and that when I start filming the whole project will come together.
Filming should proceed as normal only with one actor, all sets and scenes should remain the same and only the narrated dialogue should alter.

Final script (audio) with timings

Script draft.... I lost count


Brian walks through office corridor to his own office. A new man walks past Brian absent mindedly checking his iPad. (1:37)

A new man- "Morning." (1:40)

Brian confused by the encounter leave to the left of the frame. (1:43)


Brian enters his office to find A new man already there. (1:53)

Brian- "But you dont exist?.." (1:58) "No you dont exist youre not there" (2:04)

A new man- "So, if I dont exist why am I here?" (2:12)

Brian- "I dont know why youre here I dont even know what you are" (2:16)

A new man- "Well I'm you... I thought that was pretty obvious?" (2:23)

Brian- "Ok I realise that youre me but why are you here?" (2:27)

A new man- "well I guess that your life wasnt all that it cracked up to be" (2:31)

Brian- "Wha.. What do you mean?" (2:34)

A new man- "Well, youve got the nice apartment, youve got the money, that car you always wanted, the job you always wanted... but you still sleep alone at night..." (2:46)

Brian- "Yeah... I know..." (2:49)

A new man- "Well Brian Im here to fix that" (2:55)

Brian- "Yeah but how?" (3:01)

A new man- "well Ive got something you could start with" (3:04)

Brian unconscious an the dinning room table raises his head to the site on A new man.

Brian- "Where've you been?" (3:53)

A new man- "Ive been busy" (4:00)

Brian- "Busy? Busy doing what youre imaginary?" (4:06)

A new man- "Just been following you around all day..." (4:10)

Brian- "Why?" (4:13)

A new man- "To make sure you wont do anything stupid..." (4:15)

Brian- "Why would I do anything stupid?" (4:21)

A new man- "Look at what youre doing Brian..." (4:25)

Brian- "Well... I dont want to be alone anymore..." (4:39)

A new man- "You dont have to be alone Brian" (4:46) "The only person who can make you stop feeling the way you do is you" (4:51)

Why I don't have an animatic

Ok so here's the reason it is simple and I hope it counts as justification. Basically my script has gone through rewrite after rewrite resulting me not being able to cut together a valid form of audio. I have fragments of audio from different scripts but nothing that results in a full script and therefore I cannot produce an animatic that has any bearing on timings so I made the executive decision to not make one and dedicate my time elsewhere.
