Plan Outline

I created a draft outline of the narrative our documentary should follow. I followed the conflict model to plan out the ideas:

Beginning – equilibrium (1-2 minutes)

  • Identifying skate culture as “self”
  • Questions: what does skate culture mean to you, why do you do it etc.
  • Follow skater in one journey like Hill Street
  • Location: Somewhere in London, near south bank, Brighton seafront?
  • Close up and long shots
  • go pro footage
  • Inspiration:





Middle – disruption (1 minute)

  • People saying why they disagree with skateboarding
  • Location: People along south bank
  • One person in their house, mum/teacher or something
  • Questions: how do you feel about skate boarding, what negative prejudices do you have towards it?
  • Visuals: archive footage of skaters misbehaving

Middle – Recognition (1 minute)

  • Skaters acknowledging its misconceptions
  • Questions: What preconceptions do you think people have with skate culture, etc.
  • Locations: Southbank, House of Vans, The Level
  • Visuals: Skaters hanging out with each other in big groups, looking anti-social, smoking etc.

Middle – Attempt (1-2 minutes)

  • Justifying its culture, influence on mainstream culture, community aspects
  • Visuals: fast paced shots of skaters performing tricks, cutaway footage to match things they’re talking about

End - New equilibrium (1 minute)

  • Conclusive points on skate culture
  • Location: Film during sunset at Hove Lagoon/The Level
  • Visuals: Get some cliché looking into the sunset shots
  • Questions: do you think people will change their minds about skate culture?
  • Would you ever change because of what others think?
