Competition: [SoaE - Phase 1] News To Me

Finished
[SoaE - Phase 1] News To Me

Newsflash! Dalicron mobilizes for War! The Taldryan Republic responds with strength and determination!

Wars are fought on the front lines but also back on the Home Front. Governments need to keep their citizens and populations focused and hard at work supporting the Troops fighting out there. They often do this with propaganda. Compose a short script, no less than 250 words long, in the style of a WWII Newsreel about the Republic’s war efforts against the Human League and their authoritarian dictator Gander Denos. If you aren’t familiar with WWII style newsreels (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFAlfpDGvUo&list=PLqqqqZrD37h5aphoS_vQtha80Tqq94YTz&index=5&pp=iAQB), you may be more familiar with the cold opens (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIG1Mu6C4RY) used by The Clone Wars to introduce each episode.

Items your script must touch on:
-Gander Denos giving an Anti-Alien speech to an enormous crowd of Human onlookers
-The Human League launching aggressive attacks in the Neutral Zone
-The Republic’s Armed Forces mobilizing for war
-What people back home are doing to help the war effort

All entries will be graded using the Voice Fiction Grading Rubric 3.0

This is propaganda style, so there is information that is exaggerated or not true to boost the morale of troops and make the Republic look better to its enemies.
