Voiceover

Today we recording the voice over for the documentary. We used a women's voice as we thought it was nice and soothing and went with the theme of happiness.

Here below is the script that we used for the documentary

What i happiness? Many people today crave this emotion But what exactly are the ingredients? Is or having power? or is it imply good health.

In November 2010 David Cameron is using government funding to find out what it is that drives the nations happiness. We want to explore in depth the vital compounds that enable teenagers adults and the elderly to feel these emotion in contrast with 10 years ago.

How could having power over one nation drive a persons happiness? However cause so much destruction and devastation for million of innocent people around the world? Adolf Hitler born in Austria in 1889 became leader of the Nazi party in 1921, but why did Hitler use his new power over Germany to set up concentration camps for the organised killings of millions of Jews.

Father David Long, a parish priest now gives his religious feelings towards the subject of what i happiness.
