Documentary Pitch

For our documentary we have decided to do ours based of guernsey folklore on witchcraft, we have indluded ideas in our pitch such as different shot types,structure and also different modes. The Documentary modes which we selected were expository and also poetic, we start with what steryotypical views of witches are and then end with the reality. This documentary will be a wonderful experience as we will visit locations such as le trepied and also castle cornet. We hope to include different types of sound such as foley and we also hope to include interviews with professionals therefore making it factual.

For my role I was assigned the cinematographer, being the cinematographer for our documentary is of huge significance because it means that I plan the structure of our documentary and how different shots are filmed, as a cinematographer I aspire to cooperate with my team members and also make our shot types as good as possible and in the certain focuses we choose. Being the cinematographer will be an amazing experience as it will mean that I will go outside my comfort zone and learn about how to strategically make a good documentary for an audience.

Main Targets:

– Adjust and refine the logline to better reflect our documentary intentions

– As a group, we need to find people to interview, such as a historian and someone who is currently a practicing witch or Pagan. We will then film these interviews prior to the rest of our documentary as these may influence our future cinematography plans. Before conducting these interviews we will – as a group – come up with questions to ask them.
