Proposal
Brandon, Tyler, Brooke, Cameron & Whitney
In
the documentary we are proposing, we are focusing strongly on the different
perspectives from a leader to a group member towards problems within the
organization. Primarily, the purpose of the documentary is to expose the
communication failure between members and leaders of the organization.
Secondly, or more indirectly we may help inform leaders or members of the other
perspective, consequently mend the communicational error in the organization.
The documentary will be comprised of different elements and shots to contrast
group leaders from members. The beginning will be a very general overview of
shots and elements of the groups’ purpose, possibly showing shots of the groups
meeting area and of leaders and members. Later in the documentation the groups’
communication failure will be narrowed in on, strongly exposing the differing
perspectives to problems from leaders to members. As a more general overall
description the documentary will expose how leaders and members perspectives to
given problems are assessed.
To
complete this task our group has created a planner to abide by to give each
member an equal opportunity to participate in the documentary. Due to the
unavailability of every member, different task has been given to each member:
Brandon: Interviewer
Tyler: Edit/Cut film
Brooke: Record Interview/Take Shots
Whitney: Contact Group/Create Meeting Times
Cameron: Create Script/Outline
To keep in contact a group email
has been set up to document progress within the group. Different task may be
more time consuming than others, therefore each member is asked to participate
in every task, giving possible help in anyway. This is to help every member
feel equal participation is kept.
The
documentary has been planned out very well. The main composition will be of the
interviewees answering questions asked by our interviewer (Brandon). Shots will
be taken of the student center and room where the meetings are held, and also
during the interviews. The shots will be mainly medium, comprised of the
members and leaders during interviews. If possible during the meeting long
shots will be taken to add the background aspect. To help give an overview of
the organization, the beginning is very general footage and shots of the
groups’ purpose and location. Further into the documentary there will be a
symbolic transition or zoom into the main focus or issue of communicational
failure among leaders and members. To help emphasize this focus, shots and
footage are taken of both members and leaders. In turn to the leaders or
members’ responses to our questions, we will have the leaders and members
follow up on the others answers or issues noted. All together the documentary
will be informative of issues any organization may encounter with
communication, however in this case we focus solely on the Black Student Union
(BSU).
The
documentary is planned to come out very well organized. Each member has been
given a part of the project to finish. The time interval to finish the project
is fair, giving us enough time to hopefully get into a BSU meeting and gather a
little more footage and possibly a few long shots. After said and done, the
last part is to incorporate each member’s work together into one final piece to
submit.
