Why will your audience want to watch your film?
The audience will want to watch our film because we will be presenting a topic that is current and needs to be addressed now. We will also be focusing a lot on the local aspect of this topic, so people in Watauga County will be interested to see how we can change around here to help solve the problem of trash and waste.

sustainable. It is a broad topic but we believe that covering the issue, and showing how we can fix it will be able to increase the audience of our documentary. Showing just the issue of trash is such a specialized topic that we would drastically cut down interest, so we chose a broader topic.
Is there a conflict in the story? What is it? OR Is there a change in the story? What is it?
The conflict in the story will most likely be how we can reverse the damage we have done or stop damage from happening. So far we have mostly been using landfills and throwing things away, causing us to create new things when we can easily reuse them or come up with alternatives that don’t drastically harm the planet.
What is the point of view you will be showing about the subject?
The point of view we will be showing on the subject will be that of conservation and healing. Rather than merely stating the problem trash and waste have consumed us, we are all doomed, we plan to set out a way of saving the planet.
What is your hook? Why will someone continue watching your film after one minute?
I plan to use video and pictures that were taken of a resort in Costa Rica called Rancho Margot. This place is completely sustainable and quite interesting how it runs, hopefully people will either want to see what we can do to be more like that, or at least be intrigued by the beauty of it and want to continue watching.
What happens in the beginning of the film?
What is the expositioTreatment
Answer at least one of the questions from each numbered group below. Use several complete sentences. Explain any part of your answer that is not obvious to a reader that knows nothing about the subject. A reader should not need to answer any further questions.
Who is the audience for the film? Who will watchnal information?
The beginning of the film will be much like the doom I talked about earlier. We will show the problem of trash and waste, but we will explain that there is a way to fix it. The start of the film will be slightly depressing but it will turn around and come to a happier ending.
What happens in the middle of the film? How does the story build to a climax?
The middle of the film will be talking about recycling and sustainability techniques. What people around the world do to make less of an impact on the earth and how well those techniques work out. This will be the ray of hope we give people that we can change and we don’t have to fall into a waste wonderland.
What happens in the
end?
The end of the documentary will be ways in which we can use the techniques being developed around the world to help save our small location. Taking adaptations from Rancho Margot, and other places and finding spaces that we could use them around Watauga County to make Watauga a completely sustainable county.
What new information can the audience take away after the end of the film?
By the end of the film we hope that the audience will understand that there is a definite problem but there are ways that we can fix it. We shouldn’t merely leave it to the next generation to solve the problems that the generations before us started. This is the time to act.
How many minutes to you guess the beginning, middle and end will be on screen, each?
Due to the fact that this is only a ten minute documentary, the beginning, middle, and end should each end up being about being three minutes each. We should try to not focus on each part for too long, so we can cover all the material.
List the events/locations where you will film.
We will be filming around campus, the LLC sustainable schoolyard, pictures from my personal trip to Costa Rica will show at the end with talking over it, hopefully I will be able to find video that I shot at Rancho Margot as well.
What will you film at each of the events/locations?
Around campus we will film trash and what happens to trash around us locally, hopefully we will be getting interviews with people who are in the field, probably shot also around campus, possibly up at the windmill behind the Broyhill Inn.
List the people or types of people you will interview?
The interviews will be done with people who currently are active in the field. Maybe we can talk to the local trash pickup service to understand what happens to the trash, the head of the ASU energy program, someone focused on recycling, but the people we will be interviewing will all be professionals who currently are in the field.
List at least six open-ended questions for people on your list?
Why is trash such an issue to us today? What harmful effects does trash contribute to the environment, basically; why is trash bad? Why should we care about sustainability? How can recycling help our problems? What will it take to make Watauga more sustainable? Will it actually work?
List six shots you will need.
Shots of the trash that comes out of our campus. Shots of hopefully the massive Hickory landfill. A shot of a recycling plant hopefully near us. A shot or pictures (if video is not available) of Rancho Margot. A shot of other sustainable processes, hopefully found inside Watauga Interviews
