Video Title
The Great Gatsby: Dramatised Book Reading
Category
EntertainmentHook
Interesting background imagery is regularly rotated to capture the scene shifts, sound effects are used as opposed to described, and multiple voice actors are used to convey different characters.
High Level Video Summary
Similar to Audible's dramatised audiobooks, the channel will use different sound effects and voices while reading the book. Each book will be separated and released by chapter, on a regular bi-weekly basis. To avoid copyright, I will focus on books that are either old enough not to be an issue or books that the author has freely published.
Detailed Video Script
Man, Voice 1: In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since. Man, Voice 2: ‘Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,’ he told me, ‘just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.’ Man, Voice 1: He didn’t say any more but we’ve always been unusually communicative in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that. In consequence I’m inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores.
Target Audience
School children, university students, book enjoyers, those who struggle to read/ regularly read

Why will this video succeed?
Many people wish they had read the classics, but due to time restraints, they don't. By making them bite-sized portions and more digestible, it increases the likelihood of people wanting to read. Also, many classics are regularly read at school, but students don't have time to read, so they want things they can listen to while doing homework.
Strategic value to your channel
This channel will almost entirely centre on readings. I will also aim for author-sponsored readings from up-and-coming authors or self-published individuals.
