FAST FASHION

WORKING TITLE: 

A working title is a temporary title that is used throughout the production of a project. The working title for my project is “fast fashion" this is due to my documentary being about fashion and the way that we can change the impact that the fast fashion has human, social and environmental factors. This is also due to it being what my documentary is about. 

SUBJECT:

The subject of my documentary will be fast fashion. This is an area which I am really interested in and after research decided that it was something that people do not have much knowledge about. I believe that the only way that a change can be made is by informing people of the impact that they are having. Within the documentary I would like to have an interview with someone who can offer alternatives to shopping at high street stores and buying throw away fashion.

GENRE:

I have chosen to work in the documentary genre for my short film. This is because I want to educate people about the fast fashion industry and also to inform them about the impacts which fast fashion has on the world. The only way that people can try to make a change is by knowing that they have to. Through the genre of documentary I want to inform people about the negative effects of the fast fashion industry with statistics to back up my argument. 

PEOPLE: 

People will be included within my short film, however these will not be actors. I want the focus to be more on the voice over and what the audience is being told rather than focusing on a person. In order to engage the audience with my short film. There will be a short interview from someone who works at a thrift store to engage the audience. 

SYNOPSIS:

Within my documentary, I aim to show the human, social and environmental impacts which the fast fashion industry had. I want to offer other alternatives such as thrifting as a way of minimising the amount of waste that each person creates from buying throw away clothing. 

REQUIRED CREW:

A large crew is not needed in order to create my short documentary, I will be able to do all of the camera work myself. I will be using the 4K camera in order to record interviews which I will place on a tripod and then for other shots I will be using the drone. I want to capture both a busy city   As I am very aware of the type of shots I want and the editing style, this means that when it comes to filming, I am able to know exactly what I need to shoot. 

LOCATIONS:

To create an engaging short film I will be filming in a variety of locations which reflect the content. An example of these are: 

• Thrift store
• Fashion store
• High street
