Here’s the Scoop

EXT.  – A driveway in a suburban neighborhood – Day

Pam and Angela are putting the last of their bags in their small old Toyota.  It is the begging of summer and the weather is hot and perfect beach weather.  The sisters are ready for their long road trip.

Pam

I can’t wait to get on the road

Pam shuts the trunk and her dad Kevin walks up to the car. 

Kevin

Okay girls, here’s the scoop,

 I want you to drive safe, no unplanned stops, and call me as soon as you get there.

Angela

We know dad! 

Can we leave now?

The girls hug their dad goodbye and get in the car.  They wave out of the window as they drive away.

Pam

Here’s the scoop, we have to get on I-90 for 30miles then get off.

But first let’s gas up and get snacks and drinks.

Angela

Okay, okay we see who got dad’s controlling qualities. 

(Pam gives her sister a mean look but then laughs it off)

They drive off down the highway with the music blasting out of the windows. 

Documentary Pitch

Radio and Television Broadcasting

Start your future today!

     This is a high school program for juniors and seniors that offers dual college credits in a field of their interest.  The field I am focusin on for the documentary is the radio and television broadcasting.  This program offers hands on expeirence with production skills, equiptment, and real life broadcasting.  Students are able to get a feel for the field before entering college and it also gives them a head start because of the expierence and college credits.  

This documentary will be a realist style told from the teacher's perspective on how the program works and what good things it offeres to the students.  Most of it will be the interview and his voice over during the b-roll.  Students will also be included in the video for short interviews about what they like about the program.
