We were given a session on what to include in a documentary treatment by following a list criterion accordingly in the creation. What are some things that should be included?
- First up a title & logline — ideally keep your title to no more than three words
- Then a synopsis — where you introduce your main character and summarise the story
- Then filmmaking approach — where you talk about your personal filmmaking style and vision for the project
- Then the team — where you show why you and your team are the best people to make this film
- Then budget — where you state your budget for potential investors to weigh up
- And distribution — wire you set out your aims for where you'd like the film to be shown
Brief Outline
As the documentary should be between 3–8 minutes long, we thought about run time to be around 5 minutes or under would be a better option to avoid over extending the duration of the video. Then, a rough run-through of what it could contain is suggested below, these would be later refined into a script that we’ll voice over upon…
- ‘The making of’ pop out logo + studio // for title have the name gradually fade in first then gets crossed out in red the overlap with the bouncy title
- We show up 🤡 with our names
- Poof smoke - avatar (”what happened?”)
- Concept moodboard
- Vector works - figma and illustrator
- Blender - model assets
- Unity - remember to record them🤡
- Show off some of the game (trailer)
