PHVP 2430 Photography and Video 2 Documenting The External Project Proposal

Name – Punk Is My Calling; An Interview With Alastair Gordon

Give a short rationale describing your area of focus- who, what, where, how? 

The film will follow the life of punk lecturer Alistair Gordon, our main character, as he reveals his childhood aspirations and his journey to becoming the man he is today. As the film is restricted to audio and still images, we shall use images of Alistair taken as we interview him, as well as photos of him as a child that he’ll hopefully provide. Audios will mainly use of the actual interview but may also include atmospheric background music, to accompany the narrative. We chose to document Alistair’s punk lifestyle to gain a brief look into an unusual lifestyle that people might be unfamiliar with.  

Suggested questions:

When you were ten, where did you see yourself in the future?

When did you get your first tattoo, and do they have any meaning?

What got you into the punk lifestyle?

Do you see punk as a lifestyle, culture or something deeper?
