Rough Plan of Documentary

For my documentary, I plan on beginning with a random assortment of pictures flying in and out, of ten different punk/rock/alternative bands to the tune 'Misery Business' by the band Paramore. Following this, I plan to have a few statistics read out in a voice over, including how many songs teens have on their ipods and how many teens feel music is important. This will last approximately two minutes.

Stereotypes will be the next issue looked at in the documentary. An interview with a teenager who has self-stereotyped will be included, with ten questions and answers. Directly after this I will include an interview with said teens mother, and find out her opinion on the same subject. These two interviews with answers combined should total about five minutes. After this, an interview with Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy will be done, with ten questions about the music his band play and how he feels about stereotypes. A chart of teen opinion on stereotypes will be shown. This will last a further three minutes.

I will then include several pictures of the stereotype, (emo, scene, goth etc) and their associated fashion sense and hair style to the song, 'The Party Scene' by All Time Low. This will last three minutes.

After this, I will include information on festivals and concerts, beginning with shot footage of fans lining up outside a concert arena and a voice over entailing teen opinions of festivals and gigs. The chart from which this information was taken will then be shown. Pictures of crowds at different festivals will be shown, to the song Plug In Baby by Muse. Information from newspapers on the festival schedule will be read out. This will last for approximately one minute.

Then, several videos of live performances from several different artists including Nirvana, Sum 41 and My Chemical Romance. This will last approximately five minutes.

I will then include a video of an interview with Green Day giving their opinion on stereotypes and information on upcoming gigs of theirs. This video will be edited to last one minute.

The next thing i will include will be footage shot of random interviews with teens on the street. In this, they will talk about their opinion on rock and alternative music and how they think it has effected youth culture. They will be asked to list a few of their favourite bands and artists and asked their opinion on chart music. This will last for approximately two minutes, switching from teen to teen.

Following this, the six charts on teen opinion of different music genres, (punk, rock, indie, alternative etc) will be shown, with a voice over describing the different findings. This will last a further one minute.

The documentary will end with a slideshow of different pictures of how music has changed through the ages; with Sum 41 at the beginning for example and Fall Out Boy at the end. Pictures of stereotypes within youth culture will be shown. This will be accompained by the song 'Alpha Dog' by Fall Out Boy. This will last for the full three minutes.
