We will then talk about how a new World Trade Centre is being built called 'One World Trade Centre' and how it will be completed next year. We will inlude the following picture:

We will also mention that the mastermind of the attacks; Osama Bin Laden was captured and killed in 2011.

Interviews (Draft)

For the documentary, we want to include some interviews with the public and some of the tutors opinions on 9/11.
For the interviews with tutors, we are going to film them in the TV studio, with a green screen in the background (which will have a picture of the Twin Towers uploaded in Post Production).
We are going to use 2 cameras so that we have more footage to use and some diversity within the shots we use.
For the interview with the public, we are going to film on site (in Oldham).
We have a first draft of some of the questions we are going to ask we will add more later);
1)  Do you remember where you were on September the 11th 2001?
2) How much of a global impact do you think 9/11 had?
3) Do you think 9/11 caused a lot of Racism and stereotyping towards Muslims?
4) And if so, why?
5) Do you think the United States Government did enough to prevent the 9/11 attacks?

Opening Scene

For the opening scene, we want it to have a strong impact for the audience so we are going to have a fast paced but emotional opening scene. To do this, we are going to cut together archive footage and youtube footage of the Planes flying into the Towers, the collapse of the towers and quite some phone call footage of the victims of 9/11.
We are going to use the phone calls from victims to emergency services and to their families but are just going to cut certain parts and cut them together to create a fast paced opening.

For the opening scene, we are going to use very small clips and audio of the following:











We also have some pictures of the Flight 93 crash site and Pentagon we will use.
After the opening has finished, we will have the opening credits and then the voice over will start where we have a brief introduction into what happened on 9/11.
The pictures we want to use for the opening include the following:

Introduction to Documentary

I am looking to produce a documentary, from scratch (approx 10 Minutes in length) about ; '9/11'. I am working in a group of two with Nimesh. The documentary style will be similar to that of the documentary; 'Loose Change', which is a documentary about conspiracy theory's regarding 9/11. You can watch the first cut, part 1 here:


The similarities are that we will use footage of the planes crashing into the World Trade Centre, we interview members of the public and will be giving an overview on the attacks and how they happened.
We want to find out about how it effected, not only the US but how it effected the UK so we will interview local people on their thoughts on 9/11 and if 9/11 changed their opinion on the US government and Muslims in general, as there was a lot of racial intolerance after 9/11 due to Al-Queda being Muslim.
We will be looking at why the attacks happened, an overview on them, phone calls from the planes, footage of the attacks and one of us narrating/voicing over throughout the film.
We will also be talking about Flight 93 and the Pentagon. We will be asking what people's opinions are about Flight 93 and whether it was overtaken by the crew and passengers or shot down by the US Government.
We will also be looking at the 9/11 truth movement and their thoughts on what happened and I will be trying to get a statement from the 9/11 truth movement on what they think and hope to achieve.
