My group has for the documentary has been assembled. Eric, Arissa and Ollie are in my group. We have decided to do a fun documentary that is in between the interactive and performative style of documentary. We have chosen to do a topic that most people know about but do not actually know the true nature of...CHEERLEADING.
when talking about cheerleading most people say "so do you have pom poms and which sports teams do you cheer for?" we are going to show how cheerleading is also a competitive activity and that they don't just cheer for sports team but rather practice stunts, tumbling, gymnastics and dance and perform them at competitions all around the country.
the reason we chose this topic is because I am actually a cheerleading coach and will have access to the different teams in melbourne, competitions and training sessions. we will have many opportunities to capture footage.
Our group has already met a few times and we have finally come up with an angle. We will be following around Ollie, one of the group members, in his quest to participate in and find out what cheerleading is all about.
