In the introduction, I will have a voice over introducing the documentary so it will be explaining what it is about and who it will feature. I need to write the script once I have sorted out the interviews and got what I need. A montage will be played over the voice over of some of the most iconic places in Liverpool like the Liver Building, the cathedrals Mathew Street and the Docks. I will have music playing quietly in the background so its not just the voice over.
The first thing that will come after the introduction will be interviewee who is the historian who will start with talking about the iconic attractions in the city then he goes on to talking about docks and the history of them and then on to the development and then how the development benefitted the city whilst he is speaking, I will have archive and my own footage over so I will be showing the audience the development and how they had changed over the years and how they look now.
The interview will continue to go into the regeneration projects in the city including the Liverpool One and the Anfield Project and how they benefitted the city. Whilst he speaks, I will have cutaways over him then it will keep cutting back to Frank. From there, it will cut straight to my grandad who will be talking about growing up in Anfield and what the conditions were like. He talks about what he did when he went out on weekends and where he went. He also mentions the football, school, what he would do as a child and where he worked. He mentions at the end what Anfield ground and the football has done for Anfield and the money it has done by bringing in tourists. I will have cutaways of the Anfield stadium over it, just shots I filmed around Anfield and also pictures of my grandad when he was younger and when he would go out for drinks at the weekend.
I will then have a voiceover play after the part with my grandad and introduces the music segment of the documentary which will give a fact with cutaways over of The Beatles and Mathew Street. I will then introduce the musician – Paul McDonough. It will then cut to Paul who will begin by talking about how music started in the city and then onto about how the music in the city developed after The Beatles which will have cutaways of the city and Mathew Street after he mentions it. He will then close the interview with talking about the effect of music has had on the city.
After the interview is over, football of the city will be introduced and I won’t have an interview for this part because I will have had three interviews before this so the voiceover will just talk about the football in the city and talk about the effect it has had on the city talking equally as much about both teams rather than being biased and speaking about one team. I have got cutaways of around both football grounds that I knew what to get from when I did my research on the football culture earlier on in the project.
The last big part will be on the art. I will just have the voiceover talking about some of the most famous pieces of art int he city that I did research on. I will put cutaways of the art galleries, buildings and art in the city to put over the voiceover rather than having a blank screen but will also show the audience what is being spoken about and they can see it themselves.
The last part will be the voiceover introducing one of Liverpool’s citizen and they will talk about what they like about living in the city and what the different opportunities are in the city. He speaks about what opportunities there are in the city like for music because it is already well known for the music scene but also places to pay live music and the music colleges and universities. He also mentions the art galleries and colleges which I will have cutaways which relates to what he talks about so I don’t just have him on the screen the whole time.
The interview will close with Frank talking about how great the city is and why he loves it. He mentions some of the greatest places and attractions of the city and will have some shots over it but also cutting back to his interview because he looks so proud when he is talking and I want it to have that effect on the audience when they are watching the documentary.
I have decided to make my documentary linear style which means that it will go in order, starting from the history, going to my grandad talking about him growing up in Anfield and what he did which is also history with archive over. It then goes into talking about the music and football culture and how they developed in the city. It will then go onto the interview with my friend which sort of relates to the culture then it cuts to Frank summarising the documentary at the end.
I have created a visme which is a visual structure of my documentary. This will help me get more of a visual idea of the structure of how my documentary will go.
