In response to the feedback we received about our treatment for the full film, I re-wrote some sections of it. Although we don't have contributors set for the film yet, we were advised to include people we had met and talked to as examples for what stories we will tell in it. I had interviewed my grandparents to get an idea of what questions to ask and what material we will get from it, and so I included two of these in the treatment. I implemented the advice we were given, describing them both and the photos they showed us, as well as what they talked about in relation to it.
As I had scanned all of the photos previously I added the relevant images in support on the last page to illustrate it further.
As our focus had shifted away from 'a photo that sums you up' due to the difficult nature of finding such, I amended the synopsis to reflect this - explaining how the film is now aiming to provide a 'snapshot of a life', evoking emotion and bringing the memories back to life through narration and sound design. I explained also how our focus came naturally to older people from our initial idea of different ages and generations.
The other main comment that we received from our draft treatment was to describe the visuals and sounds in the film, so I explained this in quite some detail. I also included about options for editing depending on the relevance to the material we find and our pragmatic approach to creating sounds to bring the memories to life. I used the example of the bike photo from our poetic film to how we created the sound-scape, included how many people we plan to be featured in the film and also our main influences. I ended it with a summary of our film and overall approach.
