TASK 8 - Thinking of a concept

https://youtu.be/BxVZUZpKqVI

From this mini, somewhat abstract documentary i'm getting inspiration of shot angles, camera angles, themes and how to use sound. I want the topic of my video to follow similar themes of inside the mind of an artist, or following the life of an everyday woman. It will show how a normal individual can be special and/or pay attention to the arts. This only focuses on one however I may include more than one individual or even have a couple. Whilst this style of documentary is unique, different and unconventional I will extend the length of mine to make it more conventional and add more interviews and one on one talks, although I will still attempt to follow the unique structure of this. My video may have different segments that could be separated maybe following different things or artists or even topics.
For example I could follow an artist and she talks about love then follow a relationship and interview them and get an insight on their love life, then follow an LGBT couple around in a similar manner as the I-documentary below, They may talk about difference then we follow someone from a different non european decent, they share their culture, speak in their mother tongue, briefly talk about the struggles they face in Britain etc. With the couples i may use a lot of rule of thirds, cutaways and non diegetic and fragmented sound.This may be very interesting and engaging to watch if done well.

A challenge I may face is getting it to match the professionalism of these videos, I want mine to match the style and somewhat the standard of these videos but realistically a challenge I may face is a lack of knowledge or equipment. The videography should be more artistic than the typical documentary so I will be using different camera angles such as tilts when needed and a lot of close ups to get a personal and deep atmosphere. At some points I want it intense and moonlit settings as seen in "summer of love" , then at other points I want it warm and relaxing with saturated lighting as seen with the Zariyah Allen the poet, mini documentary. Also elements of social realism may be shown as it my documentary may talk about health, racism and homophobia and also the apathetic rebellious teenager, in this case a lot of hand held shaky camera movements will be used, fast cuts and music. The age of people going to be used will be 16-21 to appeal to the 16-21 audience. Another challenge I may face with this may be the with the editing, I may struggle with changing the tone of the actual videos and making it look retro or film scratched when needed, or changing the saturation though I think editing the sound will be alright. Although there may be an issue with background noise and inconsistency with volume that I'll need to tackle.

Aspects of the "My Place" documentary can be incorporated to create a poetic realist effect. It is a minimalist approach in the sense that there isn't a lot of action however, it is very real and if this sort of style is incorporated with the types of artists I want to use then it could actually prove more interesting and artistic. I want my docudrama to document the beauty of real life, poetry, artists, lovers and deep thinkers so the welcome to my space type of style will be effective in moderation.
