Ashley’s Journey

I have decided to do a documentary on Ashley’s diet. I’m thinking Law and Order for the opening, when they play that sound and the date shows up along the bottom, to let you know this is a serious thing. I’ll pan across a foggy day at the high school, out by those trees next to the parking lot (wide shot), and have Manuel from video tech walk away in the distance, perpendicular to the camera. We will use this every day, just a different date scrolling across the screen(monty python). Then, jump to Ashley. Basically, we’ll follow Ashley around during lunch with a video camera, and interview everyone that shows up on the film. We’ll randomly splice in people real world style, each of them answering questions and talking like ‘I thought it was going really well. It looked like she’d lost weight.' Ashley will walk around and explain things to everyone, like where the lunch lines are and stuff.
We’ll end at the end of the semester, and see if she’s lost weight. Then we’ll plan something dramatic to happen, like Ju’Lay reveal that she’s a girl. Or maybe we'll do a scene (close up, then switch to worms eye view, rotate a total of 45 degrees) were Ashley sums up her experience and tells us what she learned. Manuel can’t wait to start. This is so our final project.
