Treatment of Identity Documentary
October 19, 2015
The title of my video is not yet determined, but the conceptual title is 'For the love of (fa)mi(ly)'
Pitch: I am going to sketch an image of how family influenced me using archive footage and old photographs. I will be mixing this with footage of me in my current life.
Treatment: The video will start with the quote "All memory is individual, unreproducible - it dies with each person", after which I will start showing still images of my great-grandparents and their descendants. There will be a transition from black-white to colour and video footage. This footage will largely go in chronological order. Intercut in the colour pictures and video footage will be footage of me looking straight at the camera, talking. The last few clips will show the chattering of ashes at two occasions and a funeral, after which I will add another part of current footage. The last shot will be of a dedication some of my family members who are no longer alive.
Main purpose of the Pitch: two sentences to get the idea in peoples heads.
Treatment: elaborate on your pitch, use jargon. Max 200 words
