My Idea

For this project the first idea I have come up with is to create a short documentary video about surfing in Cornwall. I like this idea because surfing is a major sport in Cornwall which a lot of local people take part in. Surfing is a thing which people do for various reasons such as to earn a living, as a hobby or just plainly for fun. This is why I would like to create a documentary, where I will go down to some local beaches like Sennen, Praa Sands, Gwiven, etc. and capture some good footage of surfers surfing and then I will ask them questions about what they like about surfing?, what do they like about surfing in Cornwall?, Why they like surfing so much?.


I have been looking on YouTube at some different surfing videos and have linked the ones that I like down below:

After I presented my idea to my class the feedback that I have received has made me changed my idea. But I have still decided to keep sort of on the same track but I am creating a photo montage in a slide show presentation of my surf photography. I think that this will be a better way to start exploring this sort of media instead of going straight in and create a short film. I am going to get some photos of surfers that I will then put into a slideshow which can then be displayed on a screen during the show.
