Proposal
Initial Idea:
My initial idea for the project was to have an interview with the interviewee, given to us via our client Sean, to get in contact with, about the canal and river trust that she/he has worked with. The idea being that its based at Anderton Boat Lift which is a part of the canal and river trust. We would film an interview there as people know Anderton Boat Lift and the surrounding areas, This would make it easier for viewers to understand what the interviewee is talking about and would make it more appealing to them. We’d write questions of our own along with three questions that Saltscape want us to ask them and then inform them via email or phone call so that they know what it is we are going to ask them, This way they can think about their answers, in the mean time, as no scripts are to be used, That way it doesn’t look as though it been rehearsed as I want it to look natural. Throughout the footage i think it is important to have a change of interviewee so that viewers don’t get bored of the same voice and the same person and to have lots of cutaway of wild life and nature to make it more interesting than just someone talking to the camera.
Structure of the video:
The way I want the video to be structured is a fast upbeat video with upbeat music in the background. This is because if the music is slow or it’s just the sound of nature in the background, Some viewers will get bored and switch off whereas if the music and the tempo is more upbeat the viewers are more likely to stay and watch it. However I don’t want the music to be too upbeat as the music has to meet the criteria in terms of what its about, it’s no good having club music with nature because the two don’t work together. I think its best to keep the music and tempo at a steady paste that way its not slow and boring and its not too fast and confusing, its just right. Within this video the colours will be natural and bright colours to keep viewers interested and to keep it as as natural as possible. I think whilst the interviewee is talking they should give lots of facts and opinions to keep it serious so that viewers don’t get the wrong impression of it. However not too formal as I still want to keep it interesting to viewers not boring.
