documentry idea's

my idea for my documentry is to be based on world war 2 reanactments that me and my dad do. although i'm not to sure on what i should base the story on. I don't know wether to interview poeple at the reanactmets we do it with and get information of both americans and germans or just film my dad and his everyday life and how he escapes reality with the reanactments as well as the reanactment.

Although I do think filming the reanactment and getting the story out of the people in an interview who do it with us would be more interesting. especially if i can get them to relate to their everyday lives.

I'll also get some vox pops from the people watching the show and ask them why they think we do these reanactments and what their all about. And I think i should put the Vox Pops at the beggining of the program to show what people think of us.

Or open up with a voice over of "I've killed em all" then a shot of a gun being cocked "the good guys" over the right shoulder shot "the bad guys" over the left shoulder shot and not i'm not to sure for the last line i have a few in mind:

• And The Innocent
• Who ever I choose/want
• And the wounded
• There all the same to me (I personally think this is the best one)

Then end it the scene with the gun pointed at the camera which is looking up from the floor and pulling the trigger and cutting to a black screen.

people think were crazy ..(from vox pop thier crazy)....hmm ......maybe we are....(laughs from vox pops)..... but what do we care.
bang cut into a reananctment (music over the top)
maybe music such as:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yHuuBZgif0 (just a thought)

I think i will keep cutting to a scenes of an interviews with people who reanacts (both germans and americans) with the battlefield being his background and scenes from the reanactments.
I will end this with a shot of the victory of the battle.

I think I should then get a shot of us all sat around as a group drinking beer (relaxing)
while I interview one of the poeple and ask about them and thier casual lives. maybe some shots of their dogs to show a lifestyle.

(I'm not to sure what I am to do to link the casual interviews to the ending)

I would really like to end the program with a helmet shot on the battle field to really add a good dramatic effect to the end of the program abit like the cover of the dvd below. and have "it's all just fun and games" as a title above the helmet.
