Three students practice for the Talent Show in various places around college as the voice comes on.


Voice over man Weston College is holding their annual Talent Show. The show has been going since 1947 and is still going strong. This is a chance for many bright young students to show off their diverse talents, to claim their way to fame, and to travel the globe.

Sarah Middleston, a creative arts student walks up to a billboard in the hallway and pins up a poster for a Talent Show. As she does an interview for film crew.


Sarah Middleston (responding to the question "Is the talent show popular with students around the campus?" - Audience can't hear question being asked)


Yeah, all the students take the show very seriously. There are some really talented people, there's this one girl who really goes all out every year.

Constance Wood is now having her own interview with the film crew. As we see people in the background rehearsing their own acts.


Constance Wood (responding to the question "What is your talent for the show?" - Audience can't hear the question being asked)


Dancing, dancing's my life. It's what I do, I practice all day and all night. My parent's tell me I'll never be able to make it and to focus on school, but I know that dancing is my ticket to fame.

Constance Wood (responding to the question "Who's your main competition?" - Audience can't hear the question being asked)


My competition? Well I would say myself but I guess it would be Isabella Star, we've been in competition ever since our first nativity play. I got chosen for the role of the donkey, she got Mary but everybody knows she was trying to steal my part...


CLOSE UP on Constance looking uncomfortable.


Isabella is doing an elegant ballet dance whilst Constance is beside her dancing very badly trying to engage Isabella in a competition.
