Idea
Idea,
When first in visioning my idea I thought of documentaries I've watched previously. And I came to the realisation that when creating my own documentary I wanted it to be about a character rather than a subject. With the subject still included obviously but mainly about a character and their story. After reviewing different options I decided to go with someone named Michael who I work with in a restaurant. The entire concept is going to be me filming him while working and asking him questions, about the job and about him as a person. I will also explore the history of pizza hut as a company but mainly through a person meaning the chosen mode of my documentary is observational. However it will only present one viewpoint so it will be bios. My documentary will lead the audience purposely to a certain conclusion not allowing them to decide for themselves. This viewpoint will be the views of the main character Michael. It will explore the subject as a person and play with emotion making the audience feel sorry for the subject. I want the audience to feel sorry for my character by asking manipulative questions such as "how many hours do you work a week" this will hopefully give the audience a shock factor and I can build even more on his by having the interviewer say something like "you work 40 hours a week and you're 17" and leaving this rhetorically. It is imperative that my documentary makes the mind up for the audience and leaves them with the feeling that I want them to feel. The shock factor and feeling emotionally sorry for my main character. I want to highlight how much young people work and the aim is to represent this to my audience through a person.
So summing up my documentaries subject, it will be a split balance of a persons story at their place of work with some background on their place of work. The main way of filming will be through an informal interview, the camera will be on the main character as they are working and answering questions, with cutaways to close ups and different shot types to keep the interview interesting. These cutaways will be of course related to the subject that the interviewee is talking about. An example of this that I would like to include in m own documentary is when the interviewee is talking about how busy the restaurant can be having a camera set up in the kitchen and editing this to appear like a
time- lapse showing how busy it can be.
Structuring my documentary. My documentary will be set out in three parts with a clear beginning middle and end. An introduction, the main interview and certainly a conclusion summing up the documentary. My documentary is certainly unique and although other people could make this because of my unique access to the person and place. I will only be interviewing the one person however he will be the main subject of the documentary.
