Major Task
For the major task I choose creating a documentary.
I had 2 topics in mind:
- either a documentary about the trekking trails around Alba Iulia;
- or about the benefits of mixing different types of sport in one’s weekly workout routine.
As a documentary about the trekking trails would have meant a lot of time spent outdoors for filming, I needed to abandon the idea, as I also work full time in parallel with my studies, so time is my biggest enemy right now. Not to mention the fact that the constant changing weather would have brought a big risk in not meeting the deadline for the overall project!
Hence I opted for the second idea, i.e. mixed workout routine.
At this stage I am very concerned in acquiring as many skills as possible for the creation of the documentary, considering the fact that I have zero experience in editing films and making of a montage.
Luckily, my Mom allowed me to join her at her Pilates Classes and film as much as possible in order to build my experience.
Research - documentary
I’ve got inspiration from several sport documentaries on You Tube. The one which I felt was tuning to my own style was:
Moodboard - photos
