3. Documentary Outline

I want to film your traditional A roll and B roll but it depends on what kind of footage i can get and what type of responses i get that will control what it shown. I like the aspect of having people in the background talking about something but you can't see their face. My concept is all about growing up so i feel like i could have a story unfolding as people continue to talk about the topic of coming of age.
So I'm gonna sit down with people and talk to them about the subject and get their opinions on the subject then base my B roll on the narration i can compile.
I need to film some childish things then progress into a more mature action. Almost to show a resistance in growing up. So maybe a playground, people doing arts and crafts, coloring, etc.
So when they start to grow up i should film them being miserable doing what they are. hating the fact that they are not what they used to be. I think of the catcher in the rye. Like someone of something trying to catch these kids as they are running towards the edge of a cliff.
So possibly i would like to have a storyline laid out in audio and be able to shoot a visual according to that story.
