LO1 - Initial Shooting Script

Initially, the idea I had for the media product was a scripted short film that was to have a narration, which can be seen here in this initial shooting script. However, because of the unpredictable nature of the project I decided to take on, I had to adapt the plans for my media product.

LO1 - Treatment

MULL

Genre
Documentary

Duration
5 to 15 minutes

Target Audience
The target audience will be a wide age range of people who are 20 to 50 years old. It will be mainly people who are interested in travel, wildlife and the outdoors. Stereotypically, it will be males from the ABC1 socio-economic grade as it is people from this category who tend to be interested in wildlife and nature.

Synopsis
The film will describe how life is living on an island called Mull in the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. It will feature the scenery on the island, and wildlife on the island as well as in the surrounding waters.

Contingencies
Contingencies are essential for a project like this, so if the main plan fails, I will make a documentary based on a closer location such as the Peak District, or somewhere I visit often such as the Lake District or Wales.
