Group Project - Initial ideasWe have been set our group project. The task is simple; produce a video between 5-8 mins long in groups of three. We were given the brief and then left a 3 days to come up with an each. We then had to pitch this idea to the class in the hope that two others would want to be involved.
My initial idea was simple. As a member of the ACM Gospel Choir I felt it was a obvious choice to make a documentary based on us. I am passionate about music so the subject is something I love and over the last two years we have been through many ups and downs as a collective.
I managed to get into a group with Kirsty Fraser and Cornish Mike. This is great news as I get on well with them and they both have a big interest in music.

Here is our rough treatment:
We intend to make a documentary following the progress of the ACM Gospel Choir. To Tell the story we will have one on one interviews as well as live footage of the choir, to show the progress we will also contrast the footage by using some archive material and some from BBC.
Though we will not neccessarily have one story running throughout, the choir itself are the spine of the documentary and the use of a voiceover will also help hold the piece together.
the ACM Choir are based in Guilford, Surrey and rehearse and perform regularly including featuring on BBC One#s Last Choir Standing in Summer 2008. Their development has been quite rapid and this is what we aim to give an insight on within the documentary.
Another aspect we will focus on is to look at particular members of the choir who have their own side projects, this will also give an insight on the struggle to become professional, successful musicians.
We will go to Guilford to film rehearsal process and also go to one or more of their gigs to get a good range of footage. In terms of how we film it we will use traditional documentary style filming but will also include some backstage hand held camera footage to add a personal touch (in the form of video diary) as well as contrast.
