Visuals

I've been trying to think of visuals which will be interesting for the viewer to see and will fit in with the sound.
I think we should keep the opening as archive of Nelson Mandela being elected president and I think the end shot should be Ari and Rita leaving the house with the children and walking down the road so that we have a shot of them "Leaving Home".
I've thought of a few things we could film to cover edits:

  • South African art/objects in the experts office or in Rita and Ari's house
  • Family photos in frames from when they lived in South Africa
  • Diamonds twinkling 
I've also had a think about what Rita and Ari could be doing in the shots so that they are not just sitting there having an interview:
  • Feeding the baby
  • Brushing child's hair
  • Cooking
  • Looking at diamonds
  • Playing with the kids
  • Looking at photos from when they lived back in South Africa
  • Watching home videos
When the family leave South Africa and arrive in the UK there should be shots of an airplane taking off and the image of the South African flag and then a plane lading and the image of the United Jack.

I was trying to think of how we could show the trauma Ari went through and the only thing I could think of was having a blurry reconstruction of 2 men dressed as policemen being aggressive.

I also think that parts of the interviews need to be covered with archive so that the viewer can fully understand what the person is talking about.


Thats what i've come up with so far I will try and think of some more visuals which will be interesting to put in the documentary and full explain the point we are trying to make.
