For our next assignment we have been told to create a documentary lasting 5 minutes. Our documentary has to be focused on a subject relating to Liverpool, our destination. I am in a group with Dani, Chrissie, Charlotte, Dalena and James.
In Fridays seminar we were told we had to prepare treatments and pitches for two different ideas, and then present these ideas to the group. We decided to meet as a group to collect possible ideas and build them into presentable pitches.
On the Sunday, myself, Dani, Dalena and Charlotte met in the library to discuss our ideas.
Charlotte had already done some online research into Liverpool and found a quote from a man who called himself 'The King of Bling' which stated that 'Liverpool is Britain's capital of beauty and fashion'. This inspired her to looking further into the fashion side of Liverpool, as it is quite well known for it's odd styles and trends. She also found out more about 'The King of Bling' and found out he was quite famous around Liverpool for his beauty salon. It was decided that the next step would be to contact 'The King of Bling', and others similar to him and see if we could create a story around him and his work.
We all decided that this idea had a lot of potential, and that we should consider it as one of our two pitches.
Dani had remembered from previous visits to Liverpool about a quirky little tourist attraction called The Yellow Duck Marines. These were amphibious landing crafts previously used in world war two. They are currently being used for tours around Liverpool's main attractions, as well as sailing around the Albert Docks. Dani later got in contact with the firm, and spoke to the manager, Paul. He said he would be more than willing to let us film for them, as long as we provided a finished copy to them.
I really like the second idea has I think it has the potential to become a lighthearted documentary with an informative spin on it.
