UEDIT
A newswoman is filming an out of studio report, holding a microphone. She is in a large bookstore. There are tons of people bustling around. The bookstore is filled with reams of paper stapled together that have a very DIY quality to them. The piece opens with shots of different goings on in the bookstore while the newswoman’s voice plays on top.
At the line “Every UEdit you buy comes unbound.” We finally see her. She holds a UEdit, and gestures at the different parts to make her point.
“Book sales are on the rise across the country, and today should be another banner day for DogEaredBooks here in Mewton, Pennsylvania. Hundreds of people have turned out to take part in a growing trend in the book community. UEdits. A new way to publish fiction that experts are calling the future of the artform.
Cuts to a clip from a previous interview where a guy in a nice comfortable suit, and glasses says “The visceral notion of this product is something that I find truly remarkable.” His tag line is “Robert Chizik - Author”
Then it cuts back to the newscaster holding up a UEdit, a pen, and a highlighter. Gesturing each one appropriately at the screen.“Every unit comes with Xeroxed copies of the artists original hand written work, a yellow highlighter, and a red pen. Allowing you to take the work home and edit your own version of the story.
Here’s what some fans of the new format had to say:”
(Cut to a person holding one of the UEdits) “Normally I skip over parts of books I don’t like, but now I can make it so they never happened.”
(A different person who is not holding an UEdit.) “Editing these makes me feel like I’m part of something important finally. I like to give myself deadlines for when it has to be finished.”
(A third person with a UEdit) “They should let us do this to movies too.”
(Cuts to the newswoman again, doing that half a walk thing they do towards the camera where we can tell that the camera isn’t moving, so they have to stop before they get out of frame, so where do they think they’re going? They’re going to cut away soon. I can tell, because she can’t just stop strolling at us suddenly, but in another microsecond she’s going to be out of frame.)
“With it’s popularity growing, UEdits has recently expanded. Now offering a blogspace online where users can “publish” their own versions of the UEdit novel.”
(It will just show the website online that will look like any other blog creating site.)
“There are already dozens of users online. Several with over twenty online published pieces. One such amateur editor is Wendy Haverman.”
(Cuts to interview footage of Wendy speaking, but you can’t hear what she’s saying because they cut in video, but no audio. The newswoman is speaking over the video of Wendy speaking. Then after she says Wendy Haverman, you hear Wendy’s audio:) “We’re already a very tight community. It’s really great to be able to share your work with so many people, and hear what they think about it almost immediately.”
(After her line “We’re already a very tight community.” You cut to footage of her blog page, with all the things she’s put up. Each title changed to reflect that she’s just editing misogynistic things out of all the books. Anything that could possibly be about women’s suffrage is brought to the front, etc. The titles could be puns or variants of whatever modern books are out at the time this is filmed. A perfect example, Sidney Poitier’s book The Measure of a Man was on Oprah’s book club, so it could be used. Just make it The Measure of a Woman. The format would be as follows:
The Measure of a Woman by Sidney Poitier by Wendy Haverman
Hopefully, you’d just need to be familiar with one book to understand that it’s worth it to go back and figure each one out. And even if they don’t recognize a single one of the changed titles, they will still see nothing but women-aimed sounding titles, and the point will still stand largely.)
(Cut to a person in the bookstore flipping through an UEdit, thinking about a particular line, getting cross slightly, and then shaking their head no as they literally censor their own book with the red pen. Over which the newswoman speaks:) “With this new emphasis on participation, and consistent sales, UEdit expects big things for their future.”
(Cut back to newswoman standing around.) “For ‘Idea of News’ I’m Diane Waterly.”
(Cut to the major anchor in the studio.) “Alright, thank you Diane. For a UEdit copy of any of tonight’s news, you can visit our website at W W W dot Idea of News dot com.”
