Liverpool Residential - Documentary Proposal 2

Back up idea

We have been tasked with producing a 5-minute long documentary with the theme of ‘Liverpool Stories’.
Obviously shooting for this piece will take place in Liverpool over the space of two days, the 5^th and 6^th of March.

Liverpool was crowned the European capitol of culture in 2008, we plan on taking advantage of the City with its prestigious reputation and hope to create a piece documenting the finest cultural attractions in the area, ranging from galleries, museums and theaters.

We are currently waiting on hearing from the majority of possible contributors, so far asking establishments such as – Merseyside Maritime Museum, FACT, The World Museum, The Open Eye Gallery.
The Bluecoat Display Centre is the only place so far we’ve heard back from, they have noted we have the freedom to film in the gardens and outside art center and will also be allowed 30 minutes to film inside,  we pushed for longer but due to the changing of exhibitions this is all we’ve been prohibited.
The bluecoat display center is a creative hub of craft and design and has been recognized as a gallery since 1959.

This specific piece’s target audience will be quite broad, ranging from young teenagers to the elderly, being a point of interest for anyone in to general culture to learning about the going’s on in Liverpool and any where in between.
The piece will aim to cover key points in the city’s cultural hot spots, highlighting the history of the place?  What’s going on at the moment? How does it benefit the city and its community? What do the general public think? Etc.

The style the film will be shot like will be that of a conventional short documentary, using interviews, voice-overs, vox pops and interesting shots and angles to keep the viewer attentive.

The soundtrack will be made up of spot effects and an ambient, background track created in garage band with the use of a midi keyboard.
Nothing too heavy, a mellow and melodic track to guide the viewer through the piece.
