The speeches we have been given are:
- Franklin D Roosevelt: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself
- Winston Churchill: We shall fight them on the beaches
- Harold Macmillan: The wind of change
- Nelson Mandela: An ideal for which I’m prepared to die
- Jawahharal Nahru: A tryst with destiny
- John F Kennedy: Ask not what your country can do for you
- Martin Luther King: I have a dream
- Margaret Thatcher: The lady’s not for turning
- Earl Spencer: The most hunted person of the modern age
The brief states that "The TV trailers will act as ‘teasers’ about the speeches by creating short films which use a combination of an excerpt of the speech accompanied by atmospheric, original footage and text graphics. These films need to be 1 minute long (with a 5 second leeway in each direction)."
So I will need to concentrate on timing so that I don't go over or under the 55-65 second barrier.
The brief also states that "You are not searching for original footage of the speech being delivered, and nor are you trying to film literal interpretations of what is being said, but rather you will devise, shoot edit and post produce a sequence of shots which add visual accompaniment to the words being spoken. This film will also feature text elements which are used to highlight words being spoken in the speech. You can also use music and/or sound effects in your film."
This is where I feel I am going to struggle with this project as I have not yet had to make something without a general theme or concept and coming up with one that can not be literal is going to be a challenge. However, I am looking forward to trying this and seeing where this extremely open brief takes me.
