2 many DJ’s not enough study

2 many DJ’s not enough study
A short 4 minute documentary
By Danny Peachey

Chris James. DJ and president of RaveTrent to some and a forth year student to others. For our documentary we are looking at a forth year student’s struggle to succeed in both his work and personal life, in the documentary we want to show how he balances these two aspects out.
The story starts by us showing the main character introducing him on air at Trent radio recording studio. This automatically shows you that he is a DJ and presenter, but as the story progresses you learn more about who he is and how he copes with his busy life.
We want shot this documentary from the eyes of Chris James; we don’t want to do a typical sit down documentary. We decided to interview him while he is busy in the middle of his work and social life, we have already filmed him while he was on set DJ’ing for Trent Radio, our next stop was to film him at RaveTrent his social club meeting in the golden fleece, where after the meeting, they perform for there audience, and our final piece of filming will be of a event that he has got together at the Igloo nightclub on the 19th of November.
In my opinion this story will appeal to a wide audience of students, the reason being is because students take nights out clubbing for granted, they dont think about the time, money and amount of effort that goes into producing just one night, the reason I feel this will be personally interesting to me and other people with similar interests is because I use to do djing when I was 16 and I know the time and dedication you have to put into it, there are also a lot of other people who practise djing to pass the time while they are at university.
the main character and prehaps the only chacter is Chris James, the viewer sees both aspects of Chris's life, they see him at university, studying and trying to pass his final year and then they see the other side of him, his personal life, where he does djing for Trent Radio as president of RaveTrent social and the stages of how, why and what it takes for him to set up a preformance night at a nightclub.
For our visual approach we wanted to use a multiscreen as and introduction to the documentary with silent videos playing in each of the screens and a audio voice over to introduce the topic of the documentary. We also had the idea that whenever we are seen or heard in any of the shots, for example when we are asking chris questions, we wanted the footage to be in black and white, this shows a creative shot bt also that its not as important as the other footage, which will be in colour. Another good idea we came up with was to intergrat a laydown of stills to help progress the story at an outstanding rate without having the audience follow video footage.
