The beggining

I was given a project to create a 4 min long character study in a group of 4 to 5.
im now in a group and we have come up between us to do it on, an interview with a recoverd heroin addict on the insight into the persoanl side of addiction. This afternoon our group met up at my house for a couple of hours and sat down and came up with a more specific plan. We choose this to raise awareness in a more realistic manner, as a personal review of some dark times will be more interesting and hit people harder than usual documentaries on drugs or what people usually see in schools. we are planning on filming the start of it around nottingham city, with a urban sounding sound track to show the darker side of addiction and to complement the culture and plan on having the lighting darker so the audience can feel the places of where he may have been. We also plan on having pictures of differnt places around town whilst having the interview over the top of stories about how it started, who he would do it with and where abouts he would do it. We then plan to film the latter part in a lighter setting whilst the recovered heroin addict tells us about how he became clean and how life is now compared to back then. The music we put to it during this part will be more light hearted also.
We have looked at a few documentories and videos off Current.com about similar themed videos. We found a video on Londons drug culture which can be seen at this site:

and have decided we want to do a simillar style as they have done in there viedo.
