Documentary Idea: The Pitch & Powerpoint

Our approach to the pitching of our treatment was quite well structured. We focused on setting each slide to a key point. Firstly, we thought it would be a good idea to give the audience an idea of 'What is Morris dancing?', as myself and others I'd asked weren't too sure about what the dancing involved, even though I'd seen several dances before - I didn't know anything about it or the back story the culture came with. 

An issue, one which I saw myself was the 'stereotype' of Morris dancing, and one of our aims was to show the audience there's much more than the stereotype, many other people and styles of dance that take place. 

By showing the audience what the traditions and stereotypes of the dance were, and explained as we presented, we wanted to show that this is the half of the story they know, and there's a whole other side to this activity, to do this we presented information and images of the opposite side of the stereotype. 

To show our inspirations for our work, we included a clip of a documentary called 'Hip Hop Grannies', which is a short documentary that follows an elderly woman who loves to do hip-hop dancing and diminishes the stereotype, which is what we want to accomplish for Morris dancing. 

We then went on to explain our aims, and purposes for our production.
