The documentary will open with footage from a gig, followed by an interview with the band. While they speak, the camera will cut between angles and focus on musical elements. There will then be a timelapse of people at the venue with audio from the performance. Another question will be answered by the band. The production will finish with slow motion footage of the lead singer strumming a guitar, followed by credits. It will include general questions for bands about their history and challenges, and specialized questions for one band about their genre, local venues, and music scene.

1. ‘SIGNED’
Final Pitch

2. Documentary
• Our documentary will open with a short extract of footage from the by the rivers gig which we will
attend and record
• This will then fade into an interview with the band which have previously played in the prior clip
• While they speak we will cut camera angles and at some points we will focus on musical
iconography such as amps etc – creating a sound bridge between the shots
(When we present each band there will be a banner across the bottom of the screen with the bands
name)
(The questions will be shown on screen and the narrators voice over will not be present)
• Following this will be a timelapse of people entering and leaving the gig venue with a timer
animation in the corner of the screen
• During this there will be audio from the live performance
• This will then cut to another question being answered by the band
• After this there will be a transitional sound bridge to a clip of the by the rivers interview
• While we question the band there will be a montage of footage shown – from various places such
as reading festival and SF festival.
• We plan to finish the production with some slow motion footage footage of the lead singer of by
the rivers strumming the guitar
• Following this will be the credits
