Idea

Documentary Project Proposal

The goal of my documentary is to show dance and how it makes people feel and how people take it differently. 

Write a hypothesis statement incorporating this wording:

·         In life, I believe that people need to know how dance can mean a lot to people and how people shouldn't just view it as 'dance' but an art

the topic of my documentary is dance. 

 The main characters in my documentary are Annette Connely who is a dance teacher from college and myself. The main characters fit in because Annette has a history of dance and teaches it and I fit in as I have been dancing mainly all my life and we both know a lot about it. Annette is interesting in this documentary as she speaks about her history of dance from the age of 2 and how she loves teaching students how to dance and watch them develop

I interviewed Anette Connely and myself. The questions I asked were mainly based around how long the interviewees had been dancing, how it makes them feel if they'd done it professionally

The conflict within this documentary is that Annette has been dancing a lot longer than I have so she has a lot more experience within this industry than I have

The conflict between the two characters are that one has been dancing for a lot longer than the other and has danced at professional schools such as Bushdavis, Royal Ballet, and English National Ballet
 My documentary would show different opinions as we both have had different experiences as a dancer meaning we have different stories and views on dance.

Within this documentary, there are no points where our views cross and create conflict.

 As there are no confrontations within this, there are no developments on it

 The main opinions people tend to have of dancers that they are super flexible (which not all of them are) and how they are really skinny can do pirouettes however not all dancers are the same. 

 The idea that the audience needs to have is that all dancers are different however they are all still extremely talented super flexible or not

The interviews will help the audience know this as both Annette and I have different answers within our interviews.

·.        In my documentary, I am going to show what it's like to be a dancer, and how it makes us feel as dancers. The facts within this documentary is going to be how every dancer has different experiences making them their own individual unique dancer and not the typical "Prima Ballerina"

I     decided to shoot in the dance studio as it showed the subject better, I also decided to use the ISTD ballet music in the background as it gave it a nicer atmosphere and helped show the subject

I can see the end of my documentary ending as somebody running on stage with applauds from the audience as I am planning on the last question being about getting nervous before going on stage

The reason Annette and I are qualified to produce this and be in it is because we dance and have been for many years
