(Memory Day) My short film name
The film narrative/subject
The documentary will be about Tang soo do and what it is all about. The documentary will be about a fighting journey and why people do this sport and how this art form helps you it day to day life. The documentary will have many interviews.
The Genre
I would like to say that the genre of this film will be action but might choose to do it in a documentary way. I would do this over any other genre as I have great connections towards this sport. I haven't done a documentary yet and I would like to take this as a challenge.
The characters/organisation of people
The character included in this short film is called Phil as I have a great connection with him and I spend a lot of time with him. I wont have many problems with characters as I see them a lot of the time. The people included are all sound and the organization involved will be willing to help out. The people will be from my fighting club called Tang Soo Do this will help me with the location and access to the footage.
Brief synopsis
Basically I will go over his life and what he has done in the past few years. I will ask him question and record him answering. The audience will learn about his character and who he was and who he is now. The main focus is the process of his training and what he does day and night. I will go to a competition and film the day and the main event which he will compete and I will reveal the end result of us training hard.
Crew
I will work on my own in this project but I might need to have an assistant runner. This will consist of me traveling to different locations for the footage. The traveling will not take too long as I will drive to the locations. The filming will be done by myself however the second person may need to record at the same time as I am as I might need a different angle for the shot. I also will be organising training sessions with the guys as we will be getting ready for Holland competition. In the process I will edit it as I go on so then I can just import the footage then edit is straight away. As the process is long I will have along time to record the footage.
Equipment
The equipment I will need is a Tripod a mic and a camera however I will film on my camera which is a 650D Cannon DSLR. The tripod I will use is my dads and will be fine to use as it keeps the camera up very well. The mic I will use is the rode microphone go on camera. It should be able to pick up the audio perfectly fine. The tripod I will use is the Hama Star 61 tripod. This will be able cope with the weight of the camera and the microphone. The other equipment I will use is the bag to hold the equipment and all the fighting stuff for the competition we will use all this in the process. The SD card I will use is a 64GB card which will be able to hold all the footage on it.
Production schedule
I will be starting recording in September and finish filming November. I have started to plan out my short documentary from July and all the unit will be completed by November. The planning will take 2 months and the filming will take about 3 months as I need to collect all the footage. The main idea will take 1 month to produce but the setting up will be recorded all the way through. I have set my self a budget of £2000 for the production of the short film.
