‘’and ive been hooked ever since, catch one little  fish, and that was it.’’

‘’I was hooked for life’’

‘’ to me there’s no better sport’’






‘’joined this charity, called BDAA the british disabled Anglian association. Founded by a chap called terry Mosely, who is a really nice bloak.’’

‘’ he said to me, do you fancy doing some coaching?. And when he explained to me what he meant buy it; taking disabled people out showing them that you can do this sport that people think you cant. I thought that sounded like a good idea to me’’

‘’ and then when you take the kids on to the bank, and they catch that first fish the smile on their face, pays for everything. No matter how much pain or how you feel that day.. that smile on the kids face when they feel the fish pulling back the other end is priceless.

I don’t care what anybody says.

TRANSGRESSIONS GROUP TREATMENT


Treatment

Overview:
This documentary is about a disabled man who is making a difference to other disabled people, and how his disability does not become an issue regarding the work he does.


Goal/Purpose:
The documentary should spread awareness, inspire and acknowledge how disabled people are actual members of society, and are not always stereotypically dependant. I hope the audience will see how much Geoff Evans’s work is making a change, and transform stereotypical views of disabled people. Furthermore inspire other disabled people to achieve success through what they love participating in.
Structure
·          Introduction to Geoff Evans – Personal life, hobbies, how his disability affects everyday life. The film starts in the lake where Goeff goes fishing. The shots will be focused on showing the environment. We will take advantage of the landscape and the fauna in order to generate a feeling of peace, calm and relax from the audience.  Also, we will be helped by the fact that fishing is a quiet activity –quietness that we will totally respect. Goeffs is going to appear but you cannot see a lot of him, you do not see his face for instance, but as you see a little of him you start thinking of how is he like,  so you start building up his image. In his house, you will meet Goeffs. The camera Is going to shoot Goeff while doing daily stuff and his house, its differences and similarities in comparison with other houses (marking how is or is not adapted to his disability). Meanwhile, the audience could listen to him talking about his hobbies (how he got into fishing, which football club he supports…).  (Location: Geoff Evan’s house, fishing lake)

     Below the questions we are going to ask him in the interview:
o   Can you introduce yourself?
o   What are your interests and hobbies?
o   Where did your interest in fishing come from?
o   What inspired you to volunteer?
o   Do you feel your disability limits you?
o   What are the common misconceptions of a disabled person?
o   So what would you say to people who are disabled?
o   How did he find out about `BDAA´?
o   So what do you find satisfying about volunteering?
o   What advice would you give to anyone?

·        Main Body – The main body will be illustrating why Geoff does the type of work he does, and why he is so passionate about it. Also it will include how his disability affects his work life and the relationship with his colleagues and company history. One of his colleague is going to be interviewed and while we watch  some images of Geoeffs in class, we are going to be listening to his colleague talking about him and his working in ‘’bdaa’’.  (Location: Classroom, and office)
·       Resolution – the conclusion will be a summary of all the barriers Geoff deals with on a day-to-day basis, to achieve success. – Narration (cinematography strong use of imagery)
Style of documentary
We have chosen to film this documentary using observational documentary conventions, to really display and comprehend Geoff Evans environment. Observational conventions are as follow, long takes, real people, hand held camera shots and a interaction between the documentary maker and subject. We felt that Geoff’s story is interesting and inspirational, so we do not have to tell the story visually. We can focus more on the cinematography and developing third meanings and correlations between imagery and words.

We will be recording visuals and audio separately, in order to be more creative in the editing stage.
