Documentary+Concept

Here is what we've got so far for our technical side to our doco. Feel free to add/edit this at will or submit new ideas to this page?! =)

** WHAT... **
 * The life of a gamer
 * Film the gamer for around two weeks
 * Video Diary each night to catch any feelings they have.
 * Basic how to play-while playing they explain what they're doing with over-the-shoulder shots.
 * Narrator needed to narrate story - (Victoria? I don't mind) A girl. This is because gamers are steroetypically boys so having a girl narrator will reduce any possible bias and make the doco seem more objective.
 * Interviews!!! With the gamer and his family/friends, their teachers for schoolwork and behaviour before/after, maybe random interviews (walk up to people in the school and ask them their opinion on gaming?), and an expert.
 * WHAT GAME??? WoW/Starcraft/CS/???

__** WHO... **__ ---OR---
 * Alex Bayliss has agreed to be our gamer, provided we have a better idea of what we're doing (which is what this i for! =D)
 * Narrator-Girl...Victoria?
 * Interviewer-Hashmita?
 * Interviewees
 * Alex of course
 * His family, brothers, Mum, Dad
 * Friends at school
 * His teachers on behaviour and schoolwork
 * Maybe walk up to random people (in quad?) and ask opinions (vox pops). Perhaps we should ask adults on the street (in the city or something) to get two different opinions across?
 * Expert
 * Possibly someone from a gaming store e.g. EB Games as we can assume they know something about gaming and different games
 * Someone in the company that was behind the creation of a game we are focusing on
 * A university professor of media/internet/gaming/technology type thing?

__** WHERE... **__
 * Vox Pops will be done at school obviously.
 * Alex will be filmed at his house and perhaps at school (to show his "normal" school day)
 * Interviews of family will be done at Alex's house also (we will need permission for this)
 * Where are we planning to film the interview of our expert?

__** WHEN... **__
 * Alex will be filmed over a two week period. Obviously we will only take the most important shots later for our doco, but it is better to have more footage =)
 * Other interviews will be done later-when?
 * Interviews of family can be done while filming Alex also.
 * Interview of friends during school hours maybe?
 * When will we film expert interview?



__** EDITS... **__
 * Miller wants to film himself gaming YAY our first definite gamer! =D We will have to consider interviewing his friends, family, etc as well
 * Perhaps a girl gamer as well...However we haven't found one yet...Maybe Wenyu?
