Social Action Production Proposal

Name of production

PE: Lost And Found

Reason for following this issue

To support schools in keeping kids healthy and active by increasing the numbers of children that participate in sport, thus creating a healthier nation. Also with the Olympics last year and the promise of more funds going towards sport within schools we want to know how much it has inspired more school children to get involved with sports.
Length of production

Around 10 minutes long

Interviewees in production

Head teachers, PE teachers, parents and students.

Production angle, how and why

Showing how much sport is done within schools and where the funds go

A production layout (beginning, middle and end)

OPENING: introduction voice over shots of schools and kids doing forms of sport. explain what Nat (the presenter) is going to do (interview a teacher and talk to him about curriculum and funding) MIDDLE: hold the interviews with teachers and students with cutaways of what the topic of conversation is. Structured questions to students and teachers that uncover interesting information is vital in the part. END: to conclude the documentary with information we have uncovered and bring in facts and figures to support the information. End with a powerful summery to convince parents and kids to participate more with sports and healthy activities.
Target Audience and why

A mature audience such as parents and teachers. The most important audience is the parents as their children are the most important thing to them. Targeting them would hopefully lead to PTA meetings where activity and health of the children would be a key topic. as documentarians, we cannot change policies, but we can encourage others with the power to do so.

Production

Before you go off and film please be aware of the following.

PRODUCTION TIPS: Interview in relevant locations Make sure there is no background noise when filming - ask to turn off all machines or film in a quiet location and if outside try and use a wind cover and microphone. Use TWO cameras when filming - One following the interviewer and one following you as you had with your multi camera unit Get MORE footage than you need - you can always cut items out but you can't add once you have filmed Think about how you want the final product to look before you start filming Add archive footage (clips, newspaper clippings, footage from news stories etc...) but ALWAYS reference them on screen and make sure you have permission to use them

Once filming is finished make sure the following is complete BEFORE you start to edit your production
