Script

"US foreign policy is akin to Government-sponsored terrorism these days … It was not a mistake that there was a huge security stand down on September 11 last year … I am SOLO. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels … "

We not going to have any diegetic speech, however this is the speech we will use for the non-diegetic voice-over; it will begin when we see the character typing to show that these are the words he's writing. This extract is the message which Gary McKinnon left, however, I feel we need to edit it slightly. Firstly, because if we were going to use Gary McKinnon's exact words, our character would have to be an accurate representation of McKinnon- a middle-aged Scottish Systems Administrator with Aspergers- and our character is not. Furthermore, because our character is a teenager, we will need to edit the speech so that it fits with his age; some of the language "akin" "these days" wouldn't be used by a Britich teenager.

"US foreign policy is prone to Government-sponsored terrorism... It was not a mistake that there was a huge security stand down on September 11 last year... I am SOLO. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels."

This is the final edit of the non-diegetic speech we will use.
