New Story

After getting some feedback on what I'd already done and not feeling so happy with the Spider-man story, I've decided to change it completely. I'd spent a lot of time trying to the think of something else that would give me motivation to complete. I knew this would set me back a little, but after coming up with this new idea, I saw that I wasn't too far behind. I have a finished script which will be shown below, meaning I can get any recording/filming done next week and spend the rest of the time editing.

My new story is about a woman describing her ordeal with domestic violence and here is the script:


I suffered three years of violence of all forms.
Because of what he did, I lost a kidney, had broken ribs, have been left with a damaged spine, hips and knees, through the kickings, beatings and sexual abuse. I thought that was my life. I could see no light at the end of the tunnel. I had all my confidence, self-esteem, personality, beaten out of me, or so I thought.
One day he went too far. He came round my house after a night of drinking with his friends. He was in a foul mood, shouting at me and not making any sense. He ordered me to go get him another beer. All I said was “I think you've had enough, don't you?” and he attacked me. Gripping me by the throat and screaming and spitting in my face. He back handed me and told me to get him a beer or he'll do much worse to me. I told myself that was it. When I returned from the kitchen, I had a knife with me. He laughed at me. Called me a stupid. Fat. Cow. I threatened him to leave. He looked a little nervous.
“Put the fucking knife down!”
I wanted so badly to kill that bastard there and then.
The neighbours must have heard the commotion, there was a loud knock at the door. I was about to go answer it, but he just bolted past me and left through the back door. I never told my neighbours what really happened, but they knew.
I never saw that pathetic man again. I'd realised what he'd been doing to me the last couple of years was so very wrong.
Somewhere from the depths of my soul, I found the strength to leave him.
It has taken a long time to finally see all the light around, and finally regain all I lost, but I still suffer, and my recovery will be ongoing.
I survived and I know that although it takes a lot of strength to either leave or get help, and most women think they don't have it, all they have to do is look for the strength and it will be there.
I did and I am a Survivor. The world is a brighter and happier place for me, so take heart and leave the violence and abuse, take as much time as you need to regain yourself, your soul, self-esteem and confidence and you will come through a better and happier person.

The video will be very dark, showing quick glimpses of the woman. There will be snappy close ups of her eyes and mouth and some blurred full bodied shots. There will be a large focus on the audio.
