Stuart Rush A2 Video Task 2010

Plans/ ideas for the Short extract for our documentary
Ideas for what our extract could be based on then we narrowed it down to two and gone into more depth on what we could create.

- Drug use issues in the UK.
- Obesity
- Twins
- Disability,in regards to Celabal palsy
- Respect in today's youth towards parents

Idea 1 Drugs
These examples would be a good reference point to follow.


Here is the clip that we got the basic idea of wanting to doing it on this subject.
Discuss the pros and cons of drugs, a look into the subject of drug use ect.
Clips of drug use, close ups that involve only shots of the use, hiding the identity of user.
Closely linked to documentaries such as dispatches and BBC 3.
Also the House style and codes and conventions will be easily recognised.
Voice over will included a narrated sequence followed by options on 1st hand experiences.
Idea 2
Disability
Show the difficulties faced within society on one or several disabilities.
This would also be closely related to documentaries such as dispatches and ect. (in the research)
Focus on a particular disability which is explored into more depth.
Make as realistic as possible, combined personal experience, elaborate the idea, and emphasise the issue.
Make sure that it is also educational, Include fact/statistic.

The idea we have chosen to proceed with the second idea. It will be based on disability¬.
This extract will me a combined emulation, what I mean by this is in will have aspects that are recognised from the documentaries that are in my research. E.g. Neo Nazis, Truth about food and Why Thin People Not Fat?. For example the camera angles used (the medium shots the interview each character, the long shots to establish situations and over the shoulder shots) and how the voice overs are edited into sequence of each clip, also transitions we included (fade to/from black)
