Audio visual content for website script

                                                             Millie’s vlog script:

 

M: Hey everyone, Millie here! I hope you’re all doing well and keeping safe in these tough times! Today I am going to be talking about my story of how I got trolled and how I overcame it. 

 

CUT

 

M: I also just wanted to do a quick shoutout to Elysian Productions because they’ve been so amazing and have given me some great tips on how to deal with some of the horrible messages I have receiving. 

 

CUT

 

M: So I started receiving some hate comments on a few of my Instagram posts about 2 months into the very first lockdown, probably because everyone was bored and spending more time on their phones. At first, I just ignored it and assumed it would be a one off thing but then it started to get really excessive and I was receiving up to 10 hate messages an hour.

 

CUT

 

M: These were just typical messages like “ugly” “fat” “trash” which were hurtful but I chose to take them in my stride and tried to block them out. 

 

CUT

 

M: But then…I started getting death threats.

 

CUT

 

M: People were saying that I was “worthless” and I “don’t deserve to live” which were really affecting my mood and making me doubt myself. 

 

CUT

 

M: I knew enough was enough, so I logged out of all my social media accounts for a while just to get away from it all.

 

CUT

 

M: Then I began searching ways to cope with this type of harassment when I came across Elysian Production’s new documentary ‘Technology: the good, the bad and the ugly’. I felt that I could really relate to everyone who shared their stories and made me realise that the internet is a dangerous place and people need to be more wary of the things they post and who they are talking to online.

 

CUT

 

M: After taking some advice from their website I realised that all these haters are just so irrelevant, and I shouldn’t let the words of cowardly people sitting behind their screens affect my life and it shouldn’t affect yours either! So go and check out the new documentary ‘Technology: the good, the bad and the ugly’ as well as their website for tips on how to stay safe online and make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel! Stay safe!
