Howitt Hall Documentary

BRIEF

I am going to create a documentary at Howitt hall which is one of the Monash university halls of residence. The documentary will look at the positives and negatives of communal living as well as the vast differences of people that live in Howitt Hall. This documentary will be in two parts. The first will be interviews with a number of residents. They will be asked questions such as: who they are, where they are from, what they enjoy about communal living, what they dislike etc etc, there will also be questions that are individual to them as they will relate to the room they are in. The second part of the documentary will be a take on animal documentaries. This will involve filming everyday situations and then adding in a voice over.

CONTEXT

My audience is most likely to be residents of Howitt hall. However I hope that it will be entertaining enough that others would enjoy watching it also. My aim is that you do not need to know about living in a residence to find this documentary entertaining. I also hope that you do not need to personally know the people involved in the documentary to enjoy watching it.

MEDIA

The media that is considered is a mix of film along with vector artwork and stills.

OUTCOME

The finished work will be presented as an interactive DVD. This DVD could potentially be used as merchandise to sell in the Hall. Depending how it turns out it could also be used as potential promotion footage. This footage could be used during open day or other such events.
