Final Pitch

As a group we have summarised our final concept and ideas for what we will take forward and use in our own documentary. After conducting research into our selected institution and forms and conventions of a documentary, we have concluded the different features and shots that we would like to include in our own documentary. Combined with the results that we received from our questionnaire as well as our focus group, we have also concluded that our main focus of the documentary is to show the truth of homosexuality in comparison to other documentaries who tend to give you facts of which you are unsure whether or not they are true.

In terms of the overall structure of the documentary, it will begin with a time lapse that has a voiceover. This will set the scene and inform the audience of what the documentary is about and what we are hoping to find out from the documentary itself. We will then fade to black which will be our title screen so that the viewers know what the documentary is called. Continuing with a voiceover, we with then include shots of real footage in a short montage just to show generic options of homosexuality before we go into the interview. After the montage, we will include and establishing shot of the school to show the audience that we will be interviewing in a school environment. Next is an interview with a school student in which we will use a two shot, over the shoulder shot and a close up shot. Throughout the interview, we have decided that we will have short shots that will directly link to what our interviewee is talking about with the voiceover from the interview playing over the top of these shots. To finish we have decided to show an ‘After the break’ scene which will show another interview, but this time with a psychologist in order to share their opinion.  We thought that this would be a good way to keep the audience intrigued into what may happen in the rest of the documentary.
