The Pitch And Feedback

Working title:
The Motorbike Man

Log line (your film idea in one sentence):
I am going to make a Documentary about my granddad about his love of motorcycling (who won British Motorcycling Champion in 1966) and how his interest of motorbikes has evolved over the years.

Synopsis (one paragraph explaining the key narrative elements of the film):
My Documentary is going to be an interview-based short film, but you won't hear much of the interviewer's voice. I will ask questions about what started off his passion for motorbikes, and why he thinks he's been interested in them for so long. I will talk to his brother, who runs a motorbike school, for his opinions too, and overall I want to find out more about how being so involved in such a dangerous sport has effected his life.

Pitch Feedback:
Katie Turner: "I like how you're focussing on such an important part of your Granddad's life, like he is reflecting on his career. You should get some footage of your Granddad riding his bike to show he still likes riding today, even if he doesn't compete as much."

I think that it's important to get some footage of my Granddad riding his bike, because I think it will add to the depth of the documentary, and it will be interesting for the audience to watch as it fits with the theme and it shows everyone just how passionate he is about riding. I want to show the audience how much riding means to him, and expressing it though archive footage and comparing it with footage from today seems like a good idea.
