Outline

OUTLINE OF OUR 9 MINUTE PARANORMAL DOCUMENTARY –
We will keep the cameras rolling whole time, so we can then edit down our footage to bits of where we’re setting up and moving around, to speak over, so we have not got a lack of footage. We think it would be better that we have too much footage then too little. We start with our introduction. This will explain the story of Rotherfield court, its history and its previous owners. This will also include a brief run through of everything in the documentary, and everything they will be watching. We shall film this down at the abandoned swimming pool when it is dark to add a late night scary effect. Afterwards we will have all of our personal team views individually and outside non-believer and non-believer (interviews). This is so we can get a view from different ages, and beliefs, so our documentary is not biased. We then go onto our preparation – filming; cameras, getting ready, dressed, walking there, walking down. So everything before going to the places will be filmed, and could be talked over, or all fast forwarded in an effect kind of way. We then move onto Greys Court where we give a short talk outside of it at night, explain the past there and what goes on, try and get some spooky shots. The last scene will be the tour of Rotherfield Court basement where we will do the majority of our filming. That is because this is the main ‘attraction’ being in our college and everything.

Synopsis

This documentary is one on the paranormal, questioning the existance of spirits and trying to find haunted areas ourselves. Using camera's we go to places that not many others would venture in order to expose the secrets of the paranormal activities that take place in the small sleepy town of Henley. There are interview's with people that believe they have had sightings or encounters with paranormal beings and the sceptics who dont believe. We even go to the lengths of finding these entities and try to caputure them on film - watch this cutting edge documentary to unearth the secrets of the paranormal.

Origional Mood Board

Ouija board - Are they really a connection to the dead?
Wiccans - Why is this religion so apparently in tune with dead spirits?
Satanism - Is this religion anything to do with a lot of the supposed paranormal activity seen today?
Zombies - Has the commercialisation of the paranormal made it less credible for the sceptics?
Graveyards - A classic and commercial area where a lot of paranormal things are mean't to take place.
Mediums - Real or an elaborate hoax?

Media regulations

My documentary on the Paranormal
In my documentary I will follow as many media regulations as I can, My documentary is about the paranormal and asks the question if paranormal activity actually takes place, do ghost’s exist?
 I will be truthful and accurate by not setting anything up, me and my group will simply film anything that takes place in the basement of the Rotherfield campus. Any reconstructions I may put in my documentary will have a disclaimer shown at the beginning saying that it is from the point of view of the interviewee and may not be entirely accurate, it will also inform the audience if it is disturbing or difficult to watch. My documentary will be entirely fair, I shall not mistreat or make fun of anyone for their views on the matter, it shall be carried out as professionally as possible. I will make sure to be fair by asking questions that wouldn’t put my interviewee off or make them uncomfortable. My documentary would not be shown on television for obvious reasons however if it was to be shown I would make sure it would be shown after 9:00pm. I will do this because young children may get scared of the content of my documentary, especially because it is all about the paranormal and would also show a disclaimer at the beginning so that the audience knows what to expect. My presenter will have a firmly neutral view throughout, not choosing a side of whether the paranormal is a load of rubbish or not but simply asking questions about it and experiencing it for themselves.
This is the media regulations I shall follow while making my documentary, the ones I haven’t included are not in here because they do not apply to my documentary or any of it’s content. I believe my documentary will be a success because it is different to most documentaries however it is something that most individuals have questioned for themselves – Do ghost’s exist? So I think my documentary will definitely please it’s target audience of 15 to 30 year olds.
