Documentary pitch and progress

After pitching our two ideas on Monday, we have had quite a difficult decision as a group to make as to which idea to go ahead with for the documentary. For now, we have kept both options open; we have contacts who have agreed to help us out in Liverpool for each idea, who we contacted to make aware of the pitch prior to Monday.

As a group, we all agree that although we like our Change The Record documentary concept, we feel that it would be hard given the time we have left before production to track down a location for us to shoot in, now that the record store no longer exists. With 'City Canvas' - the street art concept - we definitely have access to the ZAP Graffiti studio, as well as other key locations that we have researched where there are recognised pieces of art around the city, which will enable us to gather further footage outside of the studio space too. For this definite access reason, we have decided to focus on developing our 'City Canvas' concept. We have arranged an interview with Kieran from ZAP Graffiti at midday next Wednesday.


Pitch 1 - 'Change The Record'

























Pitch 2 - 'City Canvas'

 























After holding another production group meeting today, we discussed that the timing of this is not ideal in terms of making best use of the three days production time that we have whilst in Liverpool. I contacted ZAP Graffiti and they have since put up a Facebook status update, asking if anyone would like to get involved with our documentary. Although this is still scheduled for the same time on Wednesday, it will ensure that on the day we have enough participants. The response to this has provided us with new contacts, who I have been in touch with to check their availability and level of interest on the Monday and Tuesday of next week as well as Wednesday. I have also sent an e-mail to Urban Canvas Liverpool, a group of professional visual artists who provide street art projects, and they have also contacted me back since expressing their interest and have agreed to stay in touch over the next few days.
