Treatment


Treatment of documentary

My short documentary will be about Emergency bikers who donate blood, organs and breast milk out of NHS hours and help to cut costs, and more importantly save lives. I will be using a combination of live footage, interviews as well as re-enacted scenarios in order to explore the work that the bikers do from multiple point of views. I feel it is important to show as many different sides of what happens as possible as these Emergency Bikers are reasonably unknown in Devon and Cornwall, despite the importance of what they do.

In terms of what my documentary will resemble, when researching into short documentaries on Youtube.com  I came across a short documentary on a hospital in the USA. This short documentary includes live footage and interviews as well as voiceovers. Although it more focuses on the paramedic side of the hospital I really like the filming techniques such as the diverse range in camera shots, the contrast between the live footage and the glossier interviews and the short slideshow at the end.

The above is a link to the video.
