Pieces:
Proposal: For my final project I will be working on a documentary partially inspired by the work I did last semester and partially inspired by an animation I am making for my animation class. The documentary will deal with the theme of how women are portrayed in the media mainly television and magazines. I am working now rounding up interviews to be part of the documentary and in addition to this I have a number of powerful images that I think will help to move the piece while illustrating the point. For this piece I am focusing on finding adults and experts to speak about these magazines and I will possibly bring in some of the youth from the program I work with to interview and discuss this issue with as well.
Style: This will be shot as a traditional documentary, although I will play with the color and exposure a little in post-production. In addition when I am editing my interviews I plan on isolating parts of the screen so that those are the only things you see. For instance, creating a matte so that all you see of my interview subject is their eye and mouth.
Sound: The sound will follow the video footage for the most part although I may incorporate some beats created by independent artists. In addition I might capture a spoken word poem made by some of the youth I work with that deals with this issue and use that as a beat to move along the piece.
Lights: My lighting will be determined on an on location basis. If possible I will try to bring light kits to the interviews.
Location: In terms of the interviews they will be done wherever I can get my subjects to meet me. I will also likely do some in front of the green screen in the basement.
Schedule: April 7-15th: Find interview subjects
April 15th-20th: conduct interviews
April 20th- 24th: review footage, shoot additional as needed
April 20th-29th: edit

Hannah,
I would love to find out more about why you would like to pursue this project. Your treatment should speak about this. What is your passion for your chosen subject? What triggered it? What age group are you mostly interested in and why? How will your camera frame your subject? Will the composition of your shots also challenging the way we look?
What are some of the questions you intend to pose in your interviews? Who is your audience for this piece? Where would you like to have the piece shown?
