the big picture

Hey guys, so I feel like because I got so far behind due to being sick, I never truly had a chance to explain the main purpose of my documentary.

The main goal I have is to create a documentary that shows all the hard work and dedication that goes into High School plays. The objective is to try to show how the students involved in AMT put so much work into their performances. When watching a high school play, many think "oh its so easy" but in reality, it is NOT. After observing these students (aka young actors) I was convinced these students put all their time and energy into perfecting these school plays. It takes AMT months and months to perfect and feel confident enough to show an entire auditorim their masterpiece.

Throughout our documentary, we will be showing the ups and the downs AMT goes through when putting a play together. We have already got many shots of practice and interviews with actors and techs that show their true feelings when they are practicing. Not only did we want to focus on the preparation of the play but also the backstage feeling of the play. In the interviews, we decided to ask personal questions. These consisted of questions such as: "How do you feel right before you take the stage," "Do you feel confident on the stage," and "what do you do when you're not performing?"

As a whole, our TV series will consist of different High Schools and their preparation and on stage performances. Unfortunately, my partner and I have not made an 100% decision on what channel we want our show series presented on but I will soon let you guys know.. Also, we are in the process of coming up with a name for the series. We want the name to be simple, yet unique. Our first thought was "Spotlight" but then we realized that is definitely NOT unique so we need to keep brainstorming!

Anyways, see you all soon!

xoxo, cam...
