Documentary opens with a
long shot of the main school
gate at Chatham, with or
without students entering.
There will be an
accompanying narrative
throughout the scene
explaining the schools history.
The scene consists of a series
of shots of all angles and
distance, with close ups being
used on important school
elements such as the crest.

The interviews of the two
students (myself and
Callum) then fade in from
black. Within these two
interviews there wont be
any interaction from anyone
else, the students will just
talk using a pre-determined
script.
Shots will mainly be mid
shots, but will include a
facial close up and also will
contain titles explaining who
they are.
4. The scene then progresses to
the Clarendon school site
again with or without student
interaction.

The narrative continues
throughout, uninterrupted by
the changing shots as we
want to have a linear narrative
so as not to be inconvenient
by constant stopping and
starting.
Again, this scene will consist
of a range of shots from
extreme long shots to close
ups of important factors of the
school.

Scene will then cut back to
the interviews of the
students and again fade
from black. Within these two
interviews there are no
changes in terms of content
or shots. As before shots
will mainly be mid shots, but
will include a facial close up
and also will contain titles
explaining who they are.

The scene then swaps to
long and mid shots of the
sixth form centre, followed
up with shots of the inside
of the common room, which
will be done when it is
almost empty because if its
too crowded the footage will
not be as good.
The accompanying
narrative will talk about the
more recent changes that
have been made to the sixth
form as a whole.

The next interview is of the
head of sixth form Mr
Moody, this interview is
completely unscripted as we
want Mr Moody to talk about
his time as the head of sixth
form and his experiences at
the school with students.

The final interview is of a
teacher at the school Mr
Haywood. Again, this
interview is unscripted and
we want him to talk about
his experiences and what
he has enjoyed about
working here.
After the scene is finished it
fades out to black.

The final scene opens from
black, and consists of
random clippings of the
three sites with the final
section of narrative. The
scene finishes with a
freeze-frame and a fade in
text of: ‘Chatham House, A
students perspective’.

involved i.e Mr Moody and
Mr Haywood and to
Chatham House for letting
us film and do a piece on
them.
