Documentary Pitch ideas
Chinese Immigration Idea:
The Chinatown in Liverpool is one of the oldest in Europe dating back to the 1800s. Its a port town with a history of migration. The workers use to bring things like silk and tea.
It is a large concentrated community of international ethnic groups.
We would roughly have around 2 or 3 days of shooting, using all of our time effectively to film it all.
However, we will need to source our interviewees, It won't necessarily be professionally sourced, but it's ideal to ensure that we have definite interviews. Could also possibly get some vox pops of people in the street.
Might not be ideal because some of the people within the community might have personal connections to the topic, so the interviews may not be that relevant and would be chalenging to deal with. We need to have it in the POV of a part of that community/history which could also be challenging too.
Red Squirrel Sanctuary topic:
It is a concise and specific story which would easily fit into the time frame of 3 to 5 minutes, which would keep to the topic. It has a respected conservation message for the squirrels. Unfortunately we might only have 1 day to shoot because it is 15 miles away from the city centre which would be hard to get to on all the days. The weather might not be good either which could be a challenge for our shoot. We will have to keep an eye on the weather reports beforehand to ensure the best times to film.
Some of the vox pops might not be accurate to the topic because they might be people that don't know much about the sanctuary or they might have a personal response to it all, which would be challenging to use for a finale edit.
Another issue that we might have is that of not being able to film inside of the sanctuary because they might want to keep it private so we don't cause stress on the squirrels.
