Tattoo Doco

Iv gotten some really interesting interviews from class mates and have put them together in a short but interesting miniDoco.

The possibilities of expanding these interviews to a much wider group of people would be a really interesting project. So many varying views and opinions in just a hand full of class mates, the multitudes of varying thoughts would be amazing to hear.

Petting

As a group we have come up with the idea of bringing attention to animal adoption through our viral video.

We wanted to connect with our audience through a style of medium they are already comfortable with, such as ”planking” and “owling”,

Taking in that almost everyone A) loves to laugh at funny home videos  B) likes funny animals and C) like to get in on a funny fad, we thought that getting people to act as funny animals on home movies and posting it on the internet is the perfect way to get a very serious message across in a fun and interactive way.

 

Change of plan

due to time restrictions and equipment.. difficulties, plans have changed a little for the Documentary. Instead of designing tattoos for people and seeing their stories that way, I’ve opted for straight forward interviews about what people think of tattoos and all that that involves; personal beliefs, perceptions, and thoughts on tattoos in our society. I hope the varying ideas and opinions will make for very interesting viewing.

A Tattoo is Born. From Imagination to ink.

 

 

A TATTOO IS BORN

From imagination to ink.

 

 

Synopsis

 

A journey through the worlds of imagination brought to life at the tip of a needle.

Callan Rafferty-Brown attempts to delve into the world of tattooing, learning everything he can about tattooing from equipment to tattooing techniques.

Watch thoughts and emotions come alive as a tattoo is born.

We will follow the progression of a tattoo for 5 people, from the first rough sketch to the final tattoo artwork…

 

 

Treatment

 

Opening scene will begin with extreme close ups of all different pieces of equipment for a tattoo machine set, fading from one to another. There will be no dialogue as of yet, so as to spark the audiences curiosity as to what they’re actually seeing. Then a few short clips of sketching, tattooing etc.

 

First scene will be an introductory voice over, introducing myself and the topic of the documentary.

We will go through each piece of machinery and what it’s actually for.

Then a quick scene of actually putting the tattoo gun together.

 

Cut to first interviews with guests.

Discussing what sort of tattoo they’re thinking of, why they want a tattoo, why the meaning they’ve chosen etc.

 

Then we’ll have scene, with voice over’s, of sketching and actually producing the 5 tattoos, showing progression of each one to the point of approval from the guests.

 

We’ll have scenes, once they’re fully approved, of actually doing they tattoos. Cut scenes and voice over’s of interviews with guests after the tattoo’s have been finished will play throughout this.

 

Play series of cuts of each individual and their tattoo’s progression, from start to finish.

 

Then play a repeat of the opening scene of each piece of tattoo equipment and its explanation.
