"The Making of Malone"
Brief
A film documenting the making of this year's musical at my school- Bugsy Malone. Follows all aspects- directing, set design, costume, lighting, sound, the actors themselves.
Audience
This documentary would be aimed more at teenagers, as I believe that they would enjoy watching people their own age as they face various challenges and learn to balance rehearsals with the other pressures teenagers are faced with. I also think that parents of teenagers would find this documentary interesting, as parents never get to see what their children are really like in school.
Existing Products and Influences
"Hairspray: School Musical" - Sky 1
A 2008 reality TV series charting the development of a comprehensive school's production of the Broadway and West End musical Hairspray.
I watched some of this series myself and greatly enjoyed it. The main thing I really liked was that the series told the background stories of some of the pupils as they go through the process of putting the musical together. The series documented the pressure and stress the cast and crew went through, and I became quite attached to some of the people in it.
Conclusion
Making this documentary would be very practical, as I have all the filming material I need right on my doorstep- especially as I will be taking part in the musical myself. However, it may be difficult to balance filming the rehearsals as well as taking part in them- I would not want one task to distract me from the other. I would also need to gain the cast and crew's permission to film them.
