1 Archive Footage of my father and mother
while I use a handheld camera.
Myself talking behind the camera as
well as my parents talking to me. No
background music yet
2 Rewind cut to me when I was only a few
years old. This shot is supposed to show
how the family started out as before Cancer
and Autism affected us. We are playing a
board game and after I win I get off the bed
and run off screen.
Me and my dad talking while mum is
laughing.
3 Different types of shot ensue to show what
journey I have been on. The first shot is a
handheld shot of me and my girlfriend
Georgia.
The background music begins. It starts
off with a slow, sad beat to begin with.
4 Archive Footage of my friend Rebecca
popping up from behind a seat.
The background music begins. It starts
off with a slow, sad beat to begin with.
5 Archive footage of me indoor skydiving. The
reason for this is to show my growth as a
person as I took on indoor skydiving.
The background music is a constant
pitch. The video clips correspond to the
beat of the music.
6 Archive footage of my father dying next to a
family friend.
The background music is a constant
pitch. The video clips correspond to the
beat of the music.
7 Archive Footage of me, my mother and my
family on my charity fun run, this was added
because it showed the efforts me and my
family had to go to, to help me out.
The background music is a constant
pitch. The video clips correspond to the
beat of the music.
8 Me and my Grandad playing with each other.
Also ties up to the point made in number 7.
The background music is a constant
pitch. The video clips correspond to the
beat of the music.
9 Archive Footage of my mother picking me up
when I was 2 years old while playing with
me.
The background music is a constant
pitch. The video clips correspond to the
beat of the music.
10 More recent archive footage of when dad
died, with mum looking at him on the same
pillow. This is very emotive and powerful
because of love even with death.
The background music stays at a
constant pitch until Mum begins to look
at Dad. The tempo then begins to pic
up.
11 Switch between archive footage of me and
dad, with a video of me and Georgia, a video
of a christmas gathering with the family, and
the Ice Bucket challenge. I did this to show
how much I have done as a person, to all
the things i’ve seen and done.
The background music is quite quiet
because I wanted the audience to hear
the sounds of my family life and also
me pouring the bucket of freezing water
over myself.
12 Show the rest of the christmas gathering
part of the footage I chose. I decided to go
with my uncle picking up his child by the feet
- which would be considered insane. That is
because my family is insane in a great way!
I kept the background music quite quiet
because I want the audience to hear
the sounds of the christmas gathering.
Everyone there was very at piece and
relaxed. I wanted to give everyone the
impression my family is like that.

13 It now cuts out to me and my mother
hugging. I brought in this modern footage
piece because it is emotive and we both look
very happy. That shows the journey i’ve
been on and how I can actually hug my
mother and me not react badly to it.
The music changes from a more
uplifting tune to a big suspense on what
the music is going to sound like
afterwards. The dreary tone of the
strings being played up to where the
music stops increases the tenseness of
the wait for the DISCOVERY subtitles.
14 The subtitles are overlaid to pinpoint my face
in between the writing to push emphasis on
the time period of where Dad was about to
die. The dark shading disappears and the
whole image goes from just being me to
being a shocking image of my father with his
massive tumor on the side of his neck.
The single chord phase begins where
the music adds more emotion to the
image. By making the music cut to a
singular stringing, it adds more impact
with every beat that goes by in
correspondence to the image.
15 The next four pieces of archive footage of
me and my father playing a computer game,
me with a dressing gown and a toy guitar,
me dressed up like Harry Potter and in the
bathtub all show what sort of childhood I
had.
It starts off with the happy, uplifting
music picking up in the volume, to a
normal level, while my mother asks me
if ‘I’m a lucky boy’. The reason why this
is important is because it relates to my
life - i’ve been incredibly lucky to have
been given a second chance.
16 Back to the modern footage of me in the
restaurant. I cut the clip to the part where the
camera is handed to my girlfriend to create
the effect of surprise of how far i’ve come.
I turn down the level of the music while
my voiceover of talking about how i’m
getting better every day thanks to their
efforts. I did this so I could show the full
footage instead of the subtitles to
almost show the full transformation.
17 Footage of me and my dog George pawing
my head.
The background music is playing at a
steady rate and is not getting any
louder. You can hear my mother
laughing as George paws my head.
18 Archive footage of me and Jamie indoor
skydiving. The first clip was when I had first
started doing the more complicated stuff and
was trying to do a front flip, and didn’t know
how to go upside down
The pitch of the music begins to get
louder.
19 Archive footage of me and Jamie indoor
skydiving. The second clip is of me
achieving going upside down after practicing
it constantly. I had to learn how to work in a
team to be able to achieve many of the
things I learnt.
The music reaches its highest pitch
which goes together with achieving
head-down.
20 Archive footage of me getting ready to do a
tandem skydive. I put these clips in to build
up to the jump.
The build up in the upbeat music begins
just like the video does to the jump. You
can hear the camera man telling me to
enjoy the experience. This is good
because it is a message for people to
let go and have fun.

21 I jump out of the plane with the instructor. I
put in a film burn effect on top of the clip to
enhance the amount of colour in the picture
while also colour dodging the text which
made the text fit in with the colour of the film
burn.
The upbeat music reaches the drop as
soon as I jump out of the plane.This is
because it hypes you up to want to do
something that gives you an adrenaline
rush. I also included some of
background noise but to the point
where it wasn’t overwhelming. It fits in
with the tempo of the music.
22 I did a rewind cut to archive footage of me
dressed as an angel. The rewind cut works
well because it gives the documentary a feel
as if you’re rewinding my archive footage I
found.
Uplifting music begins as soon as the
rewind cut finishes. The beat is
constant and you can hear clapping
from the audience of the play.
23 In this shot, I took video of the November
Fireworks and added an overlay to the text.
This means the text would light up when the
fireworks exploded.
Uplifting music and fireworks begin. You
can hear the bangs of the fireworks.
The reason I kept this in is because it
ends the film on an uplifting and
inspiring manner.
24 At the end of the credits, I put a family
picture of me, my mother and my father.
The music enters the single chord
phase and makes the picture hold
much more weight.
