10 minute documentary

After losing the person that was going to be our main focus of the ten minute film we have decided to come up with a whole new idea rather than a diluted version of the idea we already had. We had to think of something interesting or different for our documentary and decided to research the different stores in the forum underneath the common room on division street. I had visited this place before and knew that the tattoo shop had very friendly and interesting staff each with interesting stories and all very talented at what they do. We got the contact details of all of the shops in the forum and then went there to speak to the different owners to see who would be up for being filmed and the tattoo shop "Follow your dreams" said they would love to and to pop in after a few weeks when the redecorating was done. The owner of the shop is originally from South America and has travelled the world tattoo for a number of years so we thought that he would have a lot of interesting stuff to say about the subject as he would have learned about tattooing in many different cultures. We are aware that a lot of films cover this subject so we want to try to make this stand out by having these very out of the ordinary tattooists in an equally out of the ordinary location.

All of the shops in the forum are small independant shops so the owners and staff all know each other and help each other out which makes for a friendly atmosphere and the kind of working environment that is becoming rare at present.
