Sabastian Comments: I think we should have everyone else do a little bit of talking but keep the narrator as the main focus.
Beginning of video: Definition of homophones is described through star wars-like texts. *15-30 seconds*
Narrator Guy: Once upon a time. In the era of endless, stupid, soul sucking cat videos. (three/two people on the screen watching cat videos/pics) Not one person knew what a homophone was. Probably because they were too busy watching a cat fall off the table again. Oh dear we are really in for some stupid (beeep) aren't we? (three people look up curiously as though they heard the narrator then shrug it off going back to their cat stuff) *15-20 seconds*
Narrator Guy (annoyed): Okay, just stop it people, stop it right now! (computer pops out of existence. people looked at where it used to be, shocked, then look up at the sky, fearful) It's time you learned the importance of homophones. (people start to fervently shake their head no. then instruments and different background (my garage) pop into existence) Let's say, for instance, that you are in a band. (people play a chord, then nod at each other excitedly) But what happens when you are a banned band? (sound effects of knocking and sirens play and people play two strings making the sound 'uh oh') *15-20 seconds*
Narrator Guy: (people pop into a park background, no longer holding instruments) How about the word "be". One means to exist (people puff out their chest, hands on hips, and stand in proud, superhero pose) the other means an swarm of insects that aren't too happy with you standing under their hive. (people look up in alarm, and then start trying to swat away the attacking bees) *15-20 seconds*
Narrator Guy: (people get popped back to their original background, the living room. they continue to swat the air in panic, but then realize there are no more bees) Isn't this fun? (people look up, incredulous.) What? You guys aren't bored are you? (people sulk a little, one person raises his hand to suggest something.) No cat videos!!! (person puts their hand back down) I know what about a board game? (Board game pops before them) Yes, board games are far more mentally engaging (Narrator sounds self satisfied). Okay, enough of that. (board game pops out of existence. People look at the camera, with comically worried expressions, and pop out of existence then back into the park with soldier gear on.) *20 seconds*
Narrator Guy: Let me give you another reason why homophones are so easy to misunderstand. (Officer off screen shouts "Fire at will!". the sound of guns clicking into to gear aim at one of the guys, who throws up his arms, starts to panic, and the guns start to fire) *15-20 seconds*
Narrator Guy: (pops them back into the living room. Person, Will, holds his chest like he's been shot but then realizes he's fine.) Ahhhh today turned out to be much more eventful then I thought. (people look wary and seem to prepare for something else to happen.) So does everyone understand what a homophone is? (people frantically nod their heads) Great! Now go out into the world and share your knowledge with the people! Become their next great prophet! (people start to relax and stand more casually) And if your clever, maybe you can make a good profit out of them. (people look up at the Narrator, aghast.) What? *15-20 seconds*
Credits play: *10 seconds*
(person timidly reaches toward their laptop) Narrator: No cat videos!!!! *5 seconds*
Estimated total: 3 minutes
