Professional Practice: Script Error

I started writing my script for my promotional charity video today and realised I had wirtten it in completely the wrong format after writing nearly a page! At least I realised before I had wrote the whole thing. I had started it in a screenplay format instead of a documentary format. This is the startings of it, and now I look at it, I can see why I was sitting in front of the computer screen for an hour trying to figure out why it didnt sound or look right! Here it is anyway...

(voice over)

Around the world, most big cats are endangered from human activities. While many of these animals are elusive to see in the wild, the sight of a big cat can be a life-changing experience.

We see big cats playing, being fed, playing with keepers, music still playing quietly. Mainly cut away's.

NARRATOR

Due to poaching and deforestation, beautiful images like these will become a thing of the past. Roughly 80 percent of the 40 wild cat species are shrinking and sixteen of them are considered vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered.
