DEADLINE- 29/09/15

After discussing within our group, Tori, Lucie and I decided to make our short film a pubic service video. This was because we wanted to inspire others rather than feed them information.

Possible shot ideas for our Short Film-Concept Ideas

• I had the idea of using a dark room such as the Drama Room to do some atmospheric shots. This would involve shots of dancing and football. When the camera tracks or someone runs past with a football the athlete will down in slow motion. As they do so the text will appear on-screen detailing the depressing facts and figures about girls playing sports: 'Britain's teenage girls are rated the third obese in the world (Sport England 2013)' and 'In a survey, many girls revealed they were too shy or body conscious to pursue their dream sport'
  This can be followed by a girl lowering her head down to the floor as she sits on the side line. The other girls involved within the film begin to move into position. The catchphrase 'But we want to change that' will appear and a football will be kicked through the figures.

• The music will suddenly rise up and become motivational. Various girls (12-18) will be seen doing activities and moving to the beat. I hope to include a graphic match within this sequence to convey the diverse range in sports women can play. The subtitles 'As of 2015, Sport England are injecting £1.5 million into schools for girls sport' This is followed by more sequences and titles interacting with the shots.

• The message we want to give is that 'Sport is increasing and their are now clubs out there for girls; But we need to just keep going'. This can be done as part of a voice over 'Just keep going' as a runner begins to slow down her jog. The rest of the girls will slow down also (Either making decisions within their scene or having a moment of reflection). The music has a buzzing feel to it, like a speaker waiting to be plugged in. As soon as the runner girl begins again the music retains its energy and play resumes.

Overall I want the video to have an atmospheric feel. I want there to be energy within the frames as the action continues. This means the camera will be rarely still, ranging from tracking shots to over the shoulder shots. The more energy we can capture within the video.

Other facts that can be used in the film:

'Sports help increase integrity, courage and confidence' These words will be big and bold, allowing the spectator to realise how important sport is to young girls.
'98% of girls who plays sports go onto attend higher education or a managerial job'-Cut with this to show a girl captain ordering her team to move forward'
This was a fantastic result following the increase in sport of the last five years. This will further encourage the spectator to get involved in sport because of its link to higher education.

Fonts

The fonts will have a metallic feel, giving the facts more premise within the frame. This means there will be a greater impact once the girls begin to knock down and defy the subtitles.
