Reportage Rationale

For the final stage of the Reportage brief we intend to produce a DVD video. We intend to investigate primarily Waterloo Lake, in Roundhay Park.
We originally saw the dam of the lake as being like a stage; actors (visitors to the park) walking across the stage (dam), between the naturally provided wings (trees), everything set against a changing backdrop (the sky). We intend to interview visitors to the lake and include footage / sound recordings / information of them and the area in the work. Combined with this will also be footage and sound recordings taken from various places around the lake. We will design a simple title sentence to precede the main work, so as to put our findings into context but not to distract audience focus.
The intentions behind the video are to report on the experiences and knowledge of users of the lake and its surrounding area. We have both included work about the journey to and around the lake in our projects so far and feel there is potential here to develop our findings.
Filming, editing and production of the disc will take place over two and a half days, therefore we will have to ensure we organise resources and time effectively to achieve our objectives.
