Shots- Location: Thorpe park, Chessington world of adventures, Leggo land and Alton towers.

When: Summer when the theme parks are at it’s busiest. Also bonfire night.

Who: Customers, tourists, employees and managers.

Type: crane shot, establishing shot, long shot. Fast editing to show the action and to contrast with the fast rides.

Layout- mise en scene: Rides, roller coasters, games, prizes, restaurants, shops, information booths.

Draft Ideas- Film some of the rides, compare different roller coasters.

Where the parks are and compare them for ages ( whether for younger or older children)

Different deals/ annual passes

Interview some of the customers from different theme parks: Why did you chose this theme park? Do you like any of the others? What's the best ride? Etc

Interview the employees: Whets it like to work in a theme park? Would you recommend it?

Shots- Location: church, registry office, castle, temple home or beach.

When: Mainly in the summer (most people want nice whether).

Who: Priests, couples, guests, family.

Type: establishing shot, two shot, group shot, long/mid shot and crane shot.

Layout- mise en scene: either a church or different location depending on what type of wedding it is, bride and groom with all guests, ceremony and reception, dresses, suits, cars, rings, presents, cake etc...

Draft ideas- look at different weddings for example cultural weddings, whacky weddings with themes, normal weddings and also eloping. Go through the story of each wedding with interviews in-between. Also show stories of disastrous weddings in newspapers and facts with pictures. I would want this documentary to be humorous at times but to also show the seriousness.
