In preparation for the pitching of our ideas on Thursday, I have been using the tourist information website
www.visitliverpool.com and wikipedia for my main research as I have never visited there before. Something that has immediately caught my attention is the Liverpool waterfront not only aesthetically but also historically. My initial ideas involved filming various buildings on the waterside and possibly giving a voice over with the background information of them in the overall film. However with the freedom that the brief gives I would like to expand on this idea and other more common ideas like it to give a very special, original piece of film. How my group and I will do this is still being constructed and thought through and when we deliver our pitches on Thursday we will hopefully get some good feedback as to what we need to address to improve.
Above are some examples of buildings located on the Waterfront that I have a particular interest in along with many others.
The reason I have picked these buildings is because they have not only been recognised as aesthetically pleasing, but also that they have a good history and therefore a good story to tell. This could go somewhere as we are only in the brainstorming stage as a team and we could even elaborate on this and do 'interviews' with the buildings themselves as a kind of mockumentary much like that of Borat (2006) but as I've said, these are just the ideas of quick brainstorms.
After the pitching session on Thursday, our group will come together and discuss our ideas in further details and hopefully we will come to a firm idea quickly so we can start to come up with a storyboard, script, shot list and actually plan the trip.
