The short film will interview people of different ages, from students to older people, asking them "do you know what you want to do with your life?". Jump cuts and unusual camera shots will be used to make the documentary more interesting. The film will not require actors or much budget since it will use college resources and interview acquaintances of the filmmakers. The original idea was changed because the filmmakers struggled to develop a narrative and ending for their previous concept.

1. Do You Know?
Pitch for short film

2. Storyline
Our short film will be us interviewing different
people and asking them the same question ‘do
you know what you want to do with your life?’.
It will start off asking students and then we will
focus on a young child, a parent and an older
person. The question will be repeated to them
so we discover more depth to their answers as it
goes on. The aim is to get interesting answers.

3. We don’t have characters as it is a documentary
so it will include people we know.
The location we will be filming in will probably
be the TV studio.

4. Style & Form
Form – jump cuts and unusual camera shots to
make it more interesting. Close ups will be used
to enhance the age differences
Style – documentary/interview

5. Costs
This idea won’t cost us much as we will be
taking advantage of the resources in college. We
also won’t have to hire actors as we already
know the people. It may cost us in petrol if we
have to pick people up but that will be about it.

6. Why we have changed our idea
We’ve decided to completely change our
original idea (Bad News Travels Fast) because we
struggled to create a developed narrative. We
couldn’t end the film and not enough happened
for us to be able to pull it off well. Our new idea
is a lot more original and will hopefully allow us
to be more creative with out camera work and
editing.
