First Single Camera Production; 'Contrast' Treatment

Style and Plot:
Our documentary shows the contrast between the higher class and the lower class community. The documentary will start into a introduction to explain the purpose of this production, at this stage the Studio would be an ideal setting as it's perfect place to highlight the subject, being the presenter and a highlight to create a serious mood for the introduction. As the purpose of the production is to create an contrast between the two communities into a short three minute film, the footage will show lifestyles of each community and we want to show how a life full of riches, large houses and expensive technology is not what life is needed to fulfill happiness.

Technical Considerations:
We thought about colour, we like to keep the colour quite desaturated, with a little colour when showing the film of the higher class community, this way were showing the bleak and dull lives that is shown. Whereas in contrast to the lower class lives, we like to create a colourful scene to outline the happiness of their lives.
The lighting will be artificial when using the studio, during the filming of the production scenes the film will have the natural light as it will be done outdoors.
The transitions would be a range of fades to create a more smoother run of the production rather then harsh cuts which would create it to be difficult to follow. This is going to be a Single Camera production, the camera setting we would like to occur will begin with a Mid Shot which will slowly zoom during the Presenter speech, to a Medium close up. Through out the film the shots would range to close up's, zooms and cutaway shots. Music will show steady classical for the higher class community and some rock for the lower class which can contrast itself with the musical taste.

Characters:
The characters are a presenter to start off the production and finish it off. there is also role play in the production which will be a family of higher class as well as the lower class to show the lives they lead and live. There would also be an interviewer to interview travelers to ask about their lives.
