"4 minute wonder - daddy in a rock band"

For our second year, the first project we have to do is to make a documentary -
our documentary titled "Daddy in a rock band"

Behind the glamourous life of being a rock star whose career is starting to take off, 25 year old Tom Robin is more than the average joe who happens to be successful - he holds another identity - a single parent to a 4 year old boy.

The documentary will attempt to identify the struggle between the two contrasting aspects of his life and how he manges to juggle with the two extremes.

After initial discussions, the theme and the general feel of the outcome has been decided(and so will be steered towards that direction)
  • It will fall in the categories of an observational biography
  • the two persona will be emphasized (the caring parent and the rock star within)
  • so to enable the amplification of the 'struggle'/how he manages - the conflict that exist and ways to have them co-exist
  • it will be narrative based with mostly open questions (so to save the crucial few seconds spent when questions asked have to be put into the final outcome)
  • slow beat, mellow background tunes to bring out the more emotive side - the "awww" factor
  • both fly-on-wall and upfront technique will be used to show normal day-in-day-out and the attachment between father and son
  • will be shot at 3 - 4 locations, with them being the park(for a bit of football perhaps), the gig venue(where the kid will also be present), the kitchen and the living room of Toms' house.
