Planning and ideas, shots, and more - Festival Virgin - Project 4

Scene Direction

All/ Most interviews filmed in gardens or fields in the day with a lot of lighting for summer effect also id have the interviewees in there summery clothes and sitting in camping chairs like festivals do, and possibly have tents set up in back ground.  

Camera Direction

Each person interviewed will have their own separate shot to everyone else, so one person will have one shot that they keep to for themselves.

An element i might at is to have an intro/scene for main speakers of them either sitting down/setting up chair or looking off to the field in dramatic shots.

Questions

Here are just a few questions i'd ask in the interviews.

-Where and when was your first time?

- Tell me everything from start to end.

-What sets and bands did you see?

- What was the camp life like?

-Tell me about meals and eating.

- What was the hygiene like throughout your time

- Did you endure any injuries or pains?

-Tell me of random events you encounted from strangers at sets or at camp.

-What was the size and atmosphere like ?

-What were you expecting from the festival?

-How did it differ?

-Was it for better or for worse?

-What were your first thoughts of it?

- How did you feel on the last day?

- What were your highlights and best bits?

-Did you have any regrets or things you'd change from the weekend?

- What is your review of it all then?

-Any tips or advice for first timers?

-Will you go again?

Voice over

The voice over would be the people taking part in the interviews over the top of footage from sets to photos.

Footage Description

Footage would consist of photographs from festivals and footage from the sets and other events at the festival time, and would be placed in when someone talks about the relevant subject matter and that go over as a voice over for that footage.

Pace

The pace would be rather fast due to the fact that im interviewing 20 people about multiple different festivals and about 4 days to each festival, so i want to keep it quick and snappy for guidance.
