Ending of the film

The film will then proceed to a “Final call for action” using footages of interviewees saying “No! No! No!” in regards to the CSGM. The film would then ask audience to act on this motion and sign the petition to stop CSGM. The film will finally close with a footage of the animated version of the logo, where a pair of hands are seen to be holding the water and keeping it safe from the CSGM.

We need to start on interview questions soon so that we can get going with the filming.

The film would start with footages and images of the sites that are affected by Coal Seam Gas mining with a narrating voice over the images explaining what “fracking” is. The footages would be taken with a hand held camera to carry out the essence of the film being of a documentary style. Diagrams/Flash animations would added to the film to create a visual imagery of how the process is done and would aid in highlighting the concerns and effects of such a process would be then explained to the audience to create awareness as to why CSGM is a concern. 

If possible, extracts from “Gasland” would be included into the film to create a better understanding of the topic and more visual imagery of the process. Interviews would definitely be added to the film, however interviews would be added in small volumes so that audience would not lose interest as the topic is of a heavy nature. Interviews gathered would be with:

Mining experts that would explain the process

Doctors that would be able to explain the effects of such a process on the human body if exposed to it.

Greens candidate

Environmental groups that will outline the additional concerns that this procedure have in regards to damage to the environment.
