Synopsis

A documentary looking into the change in culture in a once Historical Naval Town.
This documentary aims to show how Portsmouth is changing from a Naval Town to a City with popular tourist attractions and an every-growing, thriving nightlife - but is it for the good?

I look at how the University Student Life causes more students to stay in Portsmouth after their degree, which may be great for businesses, can cause one great threat toward residents. Drink-related violence.

"Moodboard"



























































These pictures are of Portsmouth - specifically Gun Wharf Quays. Also featured are screenshots of my influence The Seafront. The very top picture is an area plan of Gun Wharf. As you can see, the majority of the area is occupied by shops and restaurants with some very modern and expensive apartments.


Short Film Idea

After my original idea about creating a Documentary based around the backstage and preparation of the upcoming tour of Libera, was vetoed - not by the teachers but by the manager of Libera - I resorted to having another look on the BBC Film Network at Documentaries that have been produced and uploaded onto that website.
After browsing through the collection I found a Documentary called The Seafront which was a short documentary based in Portsmouth (although I didn't know this at the time) about Beach Life.
It concentrates on four subjects all with different stories about why they love and enjoy the beach so much.
This has been more of my influence to create a short documentary based in Portsmouth and Haling Island documenting the scenery, the two sides of life in Portsmouth - busy touristy area and then the normal living of Portsmouth.
