Documentary Project - Alternate Treatment

Occupy movement

In this documentary we are going to dig deep into the occupy Liverpool movement one of several encampments left out of the original occupy movement that started in New York and quickly spread across the globe. Originally this started as a protest against corporate greed, in this documentary we will find the truth of how dedicated these people are to the original cause.
We will approach the Liverpool occupy group by saying we want to get your story told, getting a bite we will wriggle in deep, interviewing several of the members. We will ask sometimes challenging questions, uncovering the truth behind their motives. Are you protesting against corporate greed in general or specific to Liverpool? If so how will you make your voice heard by the large corporations? The biggest of which are based in London and New York. The direction of this documentary will be informed by the responses and general feeling within the camp. It will be set out with a mix of interviews and recording the everyday life of an occupy attendee.
The stylistic approach will take the form of a more laid back approach rather than formal interviews, so as to capture the natural time, place, and feeling within the campers. This informal approach will include hand held camera work to further the idea of creating a natural realistic image, as well as taking into account that the interviewees maybe less intimidated through this style of filming. We want to represent the real hard truths that are based as closely as possible to the real world.
The target audience will be those interested local issues that hold relevance to the world over. This short film will hopefully go deeper and uncover more than a standard news interview.
