Documentary proposal
Senior
Lounge
The audience
for my documentary will be the senior class. They would want to watch my documentary in order to
know the reason behind not allowing ’13 seniors to have a senior lounge. The
subject of the documentary is the senior lounge. I will be talking about the
reason behind seniors this year not having a senior lounge. The conflict of the
story is finding the logical and comprehendible reason behind banning seniors
this year from the senior lounge. I will be showing the idea behind not punishing
people from somebody else’s mistakes because it is unfair to students and their
integrity and it shows lack of respect towards seniors this year by perceiving them
as incapable of handling themselves even though they will be going to college
in four months maximum. ACS is built around respect, integrity, and intellectual
growth, so shouldn’t everybody working or studying in this community abide by
those pillars? My hook will be a recap of the past senior lounges
found in school for at least the past five years with the words “Respect,
Integrity, and Intellectual growth” appearing at the end.
The effects of the footage will keep the watcher
hooked. The expositional information would be how the senior lounge has been a
tradition in ACS for the past x amount of years and how it is bad to break a
tradition with people who did no harm to it. The story will start out with talking about the
history of the senior lounge and the reason behind taking it, and then the
climax would be revolved around how people assume that seniors this year are
incapable of keeping their senior lounge and Why do seniors this year have to
be punished for somebody else’s consequences. In the end the seniors will know the main reason
behind not having a senior lounge and have their screams be heard.
The main
reason behind not having the senior lounge even though we deserve one, also we
will know whether Dr. Mancuso’s reason behind banning it is convincible.
The beginning
would be about 2 minutes, the middle will be around 5minutes and the end will
be about 3minutes.
The
locations where the filming will take place will be all the previous senior lounges,
Dr. Mancuso’s office, and Hallways. At the previous senior lounges we will film the
places where seniors had their lounges, later on in Dr. Mancuso’s office we
will be filming him talking about the main reason behind the banning of the
senior lounge for the class of 2013 and will that continue on in the future,
and finally the hallways will be a place for interviewing the students about
the senior lounge. The people that I will interview will be Dr. Mancuso and a
group of seniors. The questions that would be asked in the interview
would be: Isn’t it a tradition to have a senior lounge?
What was
the reason behind banning the senior lounge for this year, even though the
people last year were the ones to ruin it for them?
Why do
seniors this year have to be punished for somebody else’s consequences?
How do
you assume that seniors this year are incapable of keeping their senior lounge?
What was the
main reason behind banning class of ’12 and ’13 of the senior lounge?
Has been
there warnings about the behavior of seniors last year before banning them from
the senior lounge?
