Story (Pitch)

Documentary being covered upon: Imkaan(NGO)

Imkaan

The documentary I shall be making individually for this component is inspired by the many wonderful people we usually tend to forget about, who exist amongst us. They are those individuals who aspire to contribute to the society without having any benefits for themselves , and there are also those individuals who one day grow up to do justice with the acts that led them to lead their lives respectfully and proudly. 

The documentary will follow up on the lives of the owner of a local NGO as well as one of the many children who live there. I’ll also focus on 2 major roles of the NGO, that are Sehat Ghar & Khel. This NGO is different from amongst the mainstream way of working and provides them for whatever necessities the child in today’s era may require. It takes a Holistic approach when it comes to education & nourishment.

The genre of the documentary will be observational and interactive , as I will be taking interviews, it may include a-voiceover. There will be shots of the location, the children, the owner and b-rolls as well. It will not only highlight the overall lifestyle of the children but also shed light on how they are coping with their lives in a unique experience that many others are still hoping they could find.

The editing will include research pieces of information on the overall situation of children in Pakistan not having such facilities and how NGOs like for example: (Imkaan) in Pakistan are different. 

The research and planning will be done from newspaper articles, online articles, previously existing interviews and me visiting the NGO in person .Whereas the recordings will be made through a DSLR camera, tripod, and a shotgun mike. I will edit it using the software Adobe Premiere Pro CC so in result the documentary will disclose how the NGO came into being, why they took a different  approach and there will be a follow up on the children focusing on how their day goes.

Final decisions will take place after I meet Miss Tahera Hassan, Founder of the NGO. However there won't be any major changes to the story.
