Supersize Me Documentary Notes
400,000 deaths cause by weight related illness per year.
1 in 4 Americans visit fast food restaurants every day.
McDonalds make up 43% of fast food restaurants.
In this documentary we saw the heavy use of graphics when it came to showing graphs and other important things and another thing we saw throughout was a voice-over. The voice-over was used a lot when it came to explaining what was happening and generally what he was eating. The only times that a voice-over was not used is when he was talking directly to the camera like a video blog type entry and when he was with the doctors and dieticians.

Script 2
In other news, a local school has been put in special measures after their latest OFSTED report.
The Bromfords School in Grange Avenue, Wickford have started improvements around the school by hiring a new line up of management to raise standards and turn the school around. Part of the new staffing includes two new deputy heads and plans have also been made for a new permanent headteacher. Changes have also been made to the governors where a new chair and vice chair have been appointed to improve tracking and decision making throughout the school.
Since these changed have been made, improvements can already be seen. Now 73% of students entered in English exams at GCSE level passed with an A*-C grade. The school have also predicted that 63% of students will finish exams with 5 GCSE passes including English and Maths compared to an outcome of 58.5% in 2013.
Staff at the school have said to reporters that the school is already a different place compared to what inspectors saw in the past and that all staff are determined to continue with the pace of the current improvements over the next few months. The governors have also stated that the aim is to continue with the rapid improvement referenced by OFSTED and to move out of special measures as soon as they can.

Script
News just in that there has been a crash near Chelmsford with a light aircraft involved.
(Pause and host looks around as if somebody tells him more information)
It is with regret that we report the death of two men after their light plane nosedived into a field just outside of Chelmsford and burst into flames. We have been told that the plane involved was a YAK 52 and that the plane was only in the air for a short time after taking off from North Weals Airfield, a site close to the crash. Firefighters and emergency serviced have rushed to the scene of the crash but unfortunately they were unable to save the pilot or his passenger from the blaze.
A couple of youngsters that requested that they could not be named saw the plane seconds before it crashed. The witnesses stated that the plane was flying very low when they first saw it and from what they could see it attempted a stunt of some kind. After they saw this, they told reporters at the scene that the plane went out of sight, they heard a popping sound and they did not see the plane again. After this, they spotted smoke emerging from a few hundred yards away where the plane was heading and called emergency services.
The Air Accident Investigation Branch has sent a team to investigate the incident thoroughly. Deepest condolences from all at Cloud News for the families of those lost in the accident.
