My final idea for my short film.

I have finalised my idea for my short film and am definitely going to stick with the idea of producing a 'Rockumentary'.

I have made a proposal which depicts the content, structure and visual style of my Rockumentary in the format of a powerpoint presentation.
I will copy and paste the written content as follows:

For my short film idea I am proposing the production of a ‘Rockumentary’. A ‘Rockumentary’ is a documentary but of the Rock genre, culture, and livelihood. I am hoping within this 3-5 minute documentary to find the answers to a specific question I will propose throughout the film. I am hoping to use a number of filming styles, I want to include standard filming which would be complementary of typical documentary style films however want it be more visually interesting by having short montages of shots associated with the subject with a voiceover and music playing along with it. I want to input stylish credits and titles for each part of it, for instance interviews.

Structure of my ‘Rockumentary’:
Intro: Discuss who I am and what my aim throughout this documentary is. Propose a question and how I will try to answer it. (See question ideas below).

Shots I will possibly include: Interviews with relevant persons. Shots of venues, clubs, pubs, shops to make a montage. Things associated with alternative rock culture and alternative lifestyle. Live bands. Studios. Camden Town.
Credits: Make credits to go with each section that are relevant to ‘Rock’. Distorted and interesting. Possibly made in either After Effects or Motion 4 or Livetype.
Elements to cover throughout the documentary: Artwork, books, CD’s, DVD’s, memorabilia, merchandise, venues for hosting live music.
Possible interviews: Fall Mckenzie- Artist for bands. Dante Bonutto- Band manager, Mina- classic rocker, My Grandad- Drummer.
Other elements to use: Royalty free footage of festivals? Shots of typical Rock n Roll behaviour. Already use interviews I have conducted to be voiceovers etc.
