Proposal for 9 Minute Documentary

The Proposal

1.	Topic?      .9 minute documentary. Is the Henley College haunted?
2.	Important questions that need an answer (three or more) 1)   Do you believe in Ghosts? 2)    Is Henley College haunted? 3)   What makes you believe in ghosts? Any personal experiences?
3.	Three talking heads (who I will interview formally) Myself – Annie / The Interviewer Interviewees - Jack, Elliot, Josh, Sarah and Myself. We will be interviewing a believer and two non- believers. We’ve decided to do more interviews of non believers purely because we wanted to see how their answers differed.
4.	Voice-over narration (what I will say about the topic through a narrator) -         Elliot is our narrator for this documentary. He will give and introduction and conclusion at the beginning and end of the documentary.  There will also be various voice over’s of Elliot talking over footage of the basement and grave yard.
5.	On-location footage (what I will show while narrating) -         On site at the Henley college. -         The abandoned swimming pool at Henley College. -         St. Mary’s church and graveyard -         Other footage may be filmed of us walking to places around Henley on Thames. -         Archive footage
6.	The Twist(something cool to impress audience) Our teacher (Sarah) will be the ‘twist’. She will talk about her personal experiences with spiritual bodies in an exclusive interview.
7.	How I plan to “get it done”. To work as a team. Make deadlines and stick to them. Allot jobs for each member to do so we get things done quicker. Follow our script so we know what we need to film and when.

LO3: Pre-Production and 9 minute documentary

The Synopsis

During the length of this nine minute documentary, Henley college students take on the ‘haunted’ basement as they true to capture footage of any paranormal activity.

Along with the subject teacher Sarah, we will be visiting various locations in order to reach our goal, which is to collect real footage of anything suspicious.

The documentary will include many on site Locations being held at the Henley College abandoned swimming pool, Greys court which is also in Henley and finally, the woods.

 The aim of the project is to try and persuade people that ghosts do exist, although this will only work depending on how successful the documentary is.

OUTLINE OF OUR 9 MINUTE PARANORMAL DOCUMENTARY –

We will keep the cameras rolling whole time, so we can then edit down our footage to bits of where we’re setting up and moving around, to speak over, so we have not got a lack of footage. We think it would be better that we have too much footage then too little. We start with our introduction. This will explain the story of Rotherfield court, its history and its previous owners. This will also include a brief run through of everything in the documentary, and everything they will be watching. We shall film this down at the abandoned swimming pool when it is dark to add a late night scary effect. Afterwards we will have all of our personal team views individually and outside non-believer and non-believer (interviews). This is so we can get a view from different ages, and beliefs, so our documentary is not biased. We then go onto our preparation – filming; cameras, getting ready, dressed, walking there, walking down. So everything before going to the places will be filmed, and could be talked over, or all fast forwarded in an effect kind of way. We then move onto Greys Court where we give a short talk outside of it at night, explain the past there and what goes on, try and get some spooky shots. The last scene will be the tour of Rotherfield Court basement where we will do the majority of our filming. That is because this is the main ‘attraction’ being in our college and everything.
