Week 11 - writing for video

Creative concept:

Video against procrastination – images showing clutter versus clarity, showing typical modern distracting tools when studying, moving to a model student then enjoying life after completing work.  Soundtrack is Procrastination, by Alex Lewis.  The key message is: don’t procrastinate, life is better when you concentrate on tasks at hand rather than allowing distractions like social media and catching up with friends to get in the way – all of these things will be waiting to enjoy once the task is completed.  The slogan is Don’t get distracted – Just act.

Narration Deadlines looming, yet you are still letting yourself get distracted?   It is easy, isn't it, with it all there at your fingertips.   Social media - you are posting about how much study you need to do, instead of doing it   Pinning anti procrastination memes?   Can't say no to coffee dates?   Leisurely lunches with your girlfriends?   How many times have you washed your hair this week?       Don't do it - Just do it   Finish that essay, life will still be there, better than before   Don't exchange one screen for another, you can eat at your desk, your hair is clean enough       Don't get distracted - just act
